The legal battle for Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones isn't over, as the defamation lawsuit filed by the woman claiming to be his biological daughter has been re-filed against him along with his personal lawyer Donald P. Jack and the Jones family's communications consultant Jim Wilkinson.
Alexandra Davis, who originally filed suit against Jones in March of 2022 contending that he was her father, is now claiming in the new suit that Jones and his associates planned on portraying her as an "extortionist".
“Throughout their smear campaign against Plaintiff, Defendants either knew the statements being made by them were false or they knew enough facts such that they should have entertained serious doubts as to the truth of their defamatory statements,” the new complaint states.
Via ESPN:
"The new claim also says Jones and his associates attempted to link Davis in a "'conspiracy' with others supposedly attempting to extort money from the Jones family," including four Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, whom Jones paid a $2.4 million secret settlement after a senior team executive was accused of videotaping them undressing in their locker room in 2015.
The senior executive, Richard Dalrymple, called the allegations false in a statement but retired in February 2022, just before ESPN reported on the Cowboys' secret settlement. The report, written by Van Natta, was followed weeks later by Davis' initial claims against Jones.
Davis' new complaint is the latest development in a rancorous dispute that has played out in courts and in the media over the alleged motivations behind her decision to ask a court last year to be recognized as Jones' daughter. In her lawsuit seeking to establish paternity, Davis asked to be released from the confidentiality agreement her mother agreed to when she was a baby. Last December, the court ordered Jones to submit to a paternity test that has been delayed."
