Woman filing paternity lawsuit against Jerry Jones comments on extortion allegation

After Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated the paternity lawsuit against him was part of a larger extortion attempt, his alleged daughter denied Jones’ claims. Jones attempted to have a judge dismiss the paternity lawsuit this week by claiming Alexandra Davis was connected with the recent scandal involving the Cowboys’ organization and their cheerleaders.

A letter sent from Jones’ attorneys immediately after the paternity lawsuit was filed indicates that they are countering the suit with a claim of conspiracy. The letter, sent on Mar. 10, was delivered to Shy Anderson — the husband of Jones’ daughter Charlotte Jones Anderson who is in a contentious divorce battle that has been ongoing. The letter, as detailed by ESPN, advised Anderson to preserve documents “to determine whether a conspiracy exists among yourself and others including, without limitation, certain of your lawyers.”

Jerry Jones’ paternity lawsuit takes next step

Davis’ lawyers officially responded to the recent extortion allegations levied by Jones, saying he “maliciously accuses his own daughter of extortion” and adamantly denying she is part of “a conspiracy to exploit him.”

“Even more distasteful is that Mr. Jones has stooped so low as to attempt to tie Alexandra’s lawsuit into his other daughter’s, Charlotte Jones, divorce to have it lost among his many scandals,” said lawyers for Alexandra Davis in a statement via ESPN.

Jerry Jones’ spokesman, Jim Wilkinson, did not provide any of the evidence submitted to the court on Jones’ behalf, but provided a statement regarding their claims of the paternity lawsuit being an extortion attempt.

“This whole saga and series of recent attacks amounts to nothing more than an amateurish coordination among various parties to try to shake down the Jones family for money,” Wilkinson said. “Their own filing references the divorce case so it’s clear for all to see what is really going on here.”

The next stage in the complicated matter will be on Thursday, when the court rules on whether or not to make the content of the lawsuit publicly available. Jones is alleged to have paid $375,000 to Davis’ mother in order to keep her paternity a secret. Jones has reportedly denied requests to prove paternity outside of the lawsuit, and the current response from his legal team seems to indicate that he is not willing to entertain any of their requests.
