In March, Alexandra Davis filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. 

She is claiming that Jones, along with Cowboys spokesperson James Wilkinson and Jones' friend Donald Jack Jr., are defaming her.

The 26-year-old woman’s suit against the billionaire Dallas Cowboys owner alleges the three men "initiated a deliberate plan" to portray the billionaire's "own daughter as an 'extortionist' and a 'shakedown artist' whose motivation was money and greed."

Jones has paid nearly $3 million in "child support" to Davis. This includes her full tuition at SMU and a $70,000 Range Rover on her 16th birthday. According to Wilkinson the Little Rock, Arkansas, lawyer he delivered the payments on behalf of Jones.

Davis, who previously filed a paternity lawsuit against Jones, alleges that he paid her mother "hush money" to keep her paternity confidential.

It also references statements made by Wilkinson in an ESPN interview, where he accused Davis of trying to "shake down the Jones family for money."  

An affidavit allegedly given to ESPN by Jack, claims that Davis had demanded money from Jones years earlier. 

Davis asserts that she never demanded money from Jones and believes that these statements were made with malicious intent, as part of a smear campaign against her.

Defamation Lawsuit names Jerry Jones 

Davis currently works for Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-Amarillo). And is seeking relief for actual damages, special damages, punitive damages, and the costs of the lawsuit. She also requests any other future relief that may be deemed appropriate. 

In the meantime, her pending paternity suit against Jones is moving forward. A judge ordered Jones to take a paternity test in December. And Jones has stated his intention to appeal the decision.

Jones has not publicly acknowledged any relationship with Davis or her mother. And his lawyers have accused her of trying to extort money from him.

However, Davis' attorney denies these accusations and says that Davis simply wants Jones to take a paternity test to confirm whether he is her father or not.

The case has garnered significant attention due to Jones' high-profile status. His team the Dallas Cowboys are one of the most successful and well-known football teams in the history of the NFL.

 Jones is also known for his outspoken and controversial nature. He has made headlines for his comments on various issues, both related and unrelated to football.

The lawsuit adds another layer of drama to Jones' already colorful public persona.
