Former Miami Dolphins star Jason Taylor is facing a lawsuit from investment broker Eric Kim, who’s seeking $1 million on claims that Taylor damaged his reputation and another $15,000 in commissions for allegedly handling Taylor’s financial matters.

Last year, Taylor sued Kim, claiming Kim scammed him out of $275,000. Kim denied any wrongdoing.

According to Kim’s lawsuit, Taylor “begged” Kim to handle his finances due to “a history of colossal failures” in Taylor’s investments. Kim told TMZ.com he agreed to do that and that Taylor then started to make profits. Kim said he advised Taylor to cash out, but Taylor didn’t listen and began “trashing” Kim and telling people Kim “stole from me.” Kim alleges Taylor never paid him for his services.

Raymond Robin, Taylor’s attorney, said: “Kim’s allegations that Jason was a colossal business failure or that Jason begged him to handle his investments are not only not relevant to any part of the case but completely untrue.

“Jason had a long and very successful NFL career and has been very successful with his business investments. … Kim has clearly made the allegations and brought the whole counterclaim just to divert attention from his own misconduct.”

Kim told TMZ they golfed and played poker together, and Taylor invited Kim to watch Jason in the 2008 finale of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.
