Served her time, I guess. She was in some sort of trouble involving assault -- she beat up her brother-in-law or something and then she pretty much dropped off the radar here, culturally speaking.

maybe her brother in law deserved it ?
 
It was her nephew. From her Wikipedia page:

Arrest

On June 21, 2014, Solo was arrested and charged with two misdemeanor counts of assault in the fourth degree;[148][149] one against her half-sister and the other against her nephew.[150][151][152][153] She was booked under her married name of Hope Amelia Stevens.[1] After pleading not guilty, she was released the following day.[154] In August, her trial was scheduled for November 4, 2014, but this was later delayed until January 20, 2015.[155][156] On December 30, 2014, the judge ordered more depositions from the defendants and delayed a decision on whether charges against Solo would be dropped until January 6, 2015.[157]

Following her arrest, Solo sat out one game for the Reign[158] and the NWSL allowed her to continue playing soccer through the end of the 2014 season.[159] There was some debate in the media about whether this exemplified a double standard in professional American sports[160] after pro football players Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson were recently suspended by the National Football League after Rice was shown in a previously undisclosed video assaulting his wife in a hotel elevator[161] and Peterson was indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge of child abuse.[162][163][164][165][166] Senator Richard Blumenthal (D – Conn.) sent out a sternly worded letter to U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati admonishing the organization for allowing Solo to remain on the World Cup roster following her arrest and accused them of inadequately addressing the charges of domestic violence.[167]

On January 13, 2015, the judge dismissed the charges against Solo based on a lack of cooperation from both alleged victims. Solo claimed she was defending herself from an attack by her nephew, who is 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m).[168] However, prosecutors filed an appeal with the Superior Court of Washington.[169] In October 2015, the prosecution prevailed in the Superior Court and the charges were reinstated. In June 2016, the state appeals court denied Solo's petition to review the case.[170] On May 24, 2018, the city of Kirkland dismissed all domestic violence charges against her.[171] Attorney Melissa Osman, who represents the city, wrote in court documents the circumstances of the case were "unlikely to recur", and prosecution witnesses did not want to testify.
