A woman who says she’s the daughter of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has filed a defamation suit against Jones and two other men, saying that the trio spread lies and misinformation portraying her as an “’extortionist’ and a ‘shakedown artist,’” according to ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr.
Alexandra Davis, 26, filed a suit against Jones last year alleging that Jones had paid her $375,000 and set up two trusts in an attempt to hide the fact that she is his daughter. In this new suit, Davis says Jones publicly made “false statements and accusations” attacking her character.
“Not once did Defendant Jones or any of his agents ever deny that Plaintiff was Defendant Jones’ daughter,” Davis’ Dallas lawyers, Jay K. Gray and Andrew A. Bergman, wrote in their defamation complaint. “Instead, Defendant Jones chose the avenue of calling his own daughter an ‘extortionist’ merely to make his own public image less despicable by attempting to discredit Plaintiff’s reputation and character in the public eye.”
