Cowboys' Jerry Jones Facing Defamation Lawsuit From Alexandra Davis

Alexandra Davis, a 26-year-old woman who alleged Jerry Jones is her biological father, filed a federal defamation suit against the Dallas Cowboys owner, his lawyer and friend, Donald T. Jack Jr., and his communications consultant, Jim Wilkinson, per Don Van Natta Jr. of ESPN.

She said in the lawsuit the trio "initiated a deliberate plan" to portray her as an "extortionist" and a "shakedown artist" after she filed a lawsuit in 2022 seeking formal recognition that Jones is her father.

The previous lawsuit alleged that Jones paid Davis' mother, Cynthia Spencer Davis, $375,000 as part of a confidentiality agreement to keep it a secret that he was her father.
