DALLAS — Lawyers for the woman suing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said she was not motivated by “fame or fortune” when they filed the lawsuit, but is instead asking a court to find that she is not legally bound to an agreement that her mother and Jones made when she was a child.
Alexandra Davis’ attorneys released a statement to ESPN on Thursday saying that the 25-year-old wants to be untied from an agreement “that attempts to prohibit her from stating who her real father is.” She is also seeking declaration from the court that such settlement agreements should be “unenforceable” in Texas.
The lawsuit, filed March 3 in Dallas County, details some parts of the agreement, including the allegation that Jones is Davis’ biological father. It also says that Jones and Davis’ mother, Cynthia Davis, agreed to a settlement with Jones for him to financially support them as long as they did not publicly disclose he was the father.
