Alexandra Davis’ attorneys said in a statement to ESPN that she wants to be untied from an agreement ‘that attempts to prohibit her from stating who her real father is.’
Alexandra Davis’ lawyers told ESPN that she made “numerous attempts to address this matter in private” but was ignored by Jerry Jones and his lawyers.Lawyers for the woman suing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said she was not motivated by “fame or fortune” when they filed the lawsuit, but is instead asking a court to find that she is not legally bound to an agreement that her mother and Jones made when she was a child.
Breaching the deal would result in financial support being cut off and the possibility of Jones or his authorized agent suing, according to the court documents. “Ms. Davis’ lawsuit does not seek the recovery of money,” her lawyers, Andrew Bergman and Jay Gray, said in the statement to ESPN. “Surely, anyone can understand this need of a child no matter what age to have the ability to say they have a father without the fear of reprisal.”The Dallas Morning NewsAlexandra Davis’ lawsuit alleges that a lump-sum payment of $375,000 was paid to Cynthia Davis once the settlement was executed, and two trusts were set up and funded by Jones for Alexandra Davis.
The lawsuit said a paragraph in the agreement states that if Cynthia Davis or anyone on behalf of the child, Alexandra Davis, were to bring a legal proceeding to establish paternity, then Jones could end the agreement and the funding of the trusts.
