It is hard to maintain your privacy when you are public sports figure or any kind of public figure. Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has learned about the security issues one faces in a tough way.
Campbell is selling his home because his home address was made public and it led to all sorts of issues.
“He’s obviously gained some more notoriety so I think it was the smart decision for them to move,” said Ashley Crain.
Crain is the founder and CEO of Crain Homes was hired on, to help the Campbells find a new home.
Campbell’s home address was made public through doxxing after the Lions lost to the Dallas Cowboys last season.
Doxxing is the act of revealing personal information about someone online without their consent. It can include information such as the victim’s real name, home address, workplace, phone number, financial information, and other personal details.
Bloomfield Township police released this statement, about the Campbells security breach. It says in part: “The Bloomfield Township Police Department is committed to the safety of all of our residents. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. We hope that everyone, including fans, will respect the privacy of individuals and their families.”
The Campbells’ home sold for $4.5 million in less than 24 hours. They have moved into a new house. The listing of the previous home describes it as:
Originally constructed in 2013 by Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov – a three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Red Wings – the 7,800-square-foot abode boasts “an awe-inspiring 2-story foyer that sets the tone for the home’s opulent interiors,” per the listing.
