Michael Irvin Files $100 Million Lawsuit Vs. Accuser & Hotel; Cowboys Star ‘Railroaded’ at Super Bowl?

Cowboys legend Michael Irvin is filing a $100 million lawsuit against the woman who is accusing him of misconduct at the Super Bowl.

FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the woman who accused him of misconduct this week at the Super Bowl.

"It is clear Michael is the latest victim of our cancel culture where all it takes is an accusation to ruin a person’s life," Irvin's attorney Levi McCathern told TMZ. "Michael looks forward to clearing his name in court and hopes the Court of public opinion will see the truth come out as well."

Earlier this week, a woman - seemingly a hotel employee - issued an allegation of misconduct against Irvin as they met in a hotel lobby at the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday.

Irvin has acknowledged that he had a "brief, public and largely non-physical encounter" with the woman - which amounted to a handshake. 

“Honestly, I’m a bit baffled with it all,” Irvin said. “This all happened in a 45-second conversation in the lobby. When I got back after going out … I came into the lobby, and I talked to somebody. I talked to this girl. I don’t know her, and I talked to her for about 45 seconds. 

“We shook hands. Then, I left. … That’s all I know.”

TMZ notes that there are witnesses who support Irvin's story.

In the wake of the accusation, and despite the absence of a police report, NFL Network and ESPN both removed Irvin from their Super Bowl coverage in the wake of the accusation.

The specific nature of the accuser's allegations have not yet been released, but any event, Irvin's lawyer seeks to prove that, as he put it, Irvin is being "railroaded."
