Jerry Jones Sued Over Allegedly Paying Woman to Conceal Child

Dallas Cowboys Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones is in hot water after reports surfaced late Wednesday that a 25-year old woman is suing the Cowboys patriarch for allegedly paying thousands of dollars in hush money to her mother to conceal that he was the girl's biological father.

The plaintiff, named Alexandria Davis filed the lawsuit in Dallas County Court. She claims that the billionaire carried out a relationship with her mother, Cynthia Davis Spencer in 1995 when she was working at the American Airlines ticket counter in Arkansas.

Davis was born December 16, 1996, according to reports, and the lawsuit alleges Jones "abandoned and shunned" her.

According to reports, Jones has denied the allegations, although court documents show Jones had paid the "mother" $375,000 "in exchange for confidentiality" and had an Arkansas friend and lawyer named Donald Jack set up two trusts for the girl linked to her and her mother, keeping Jones' paternity a secret, according to ESPN. 

Davis reportedly  works as an aide to U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, after working for 14 months in the Donald Trump White House.

This is not the first time the Cowboys and Jones have been involved in controversy surrounding women. Last month the Cowboys had to settle a $2.4 million lawsuit with members of the Cowgirls cheerleading squad who claimed a Cowboys executive, Richard Dalrymple, of voyeurism back in 2015.

Jones, himself, back in 2014 was captured in a pair of photos posing seductively with a pair of scantly clad women in what was an alleged extortion scheme.

The NFL's own issues with sexual harassment seems to be an ongoing problem. The Washington Commanders were recently the subject of a House Oversight Committee hearing into sexual harassment after a number of former female employees raised issue with the treatment they received when employed by the team.
