Michael Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against a female employee at a Renaissance Hotel in Arizona, who claimed the Cowboys legend made an inappropriate comment towards her this week, resulting in his dismissal from NFL Network's ongoing Super Bowl LVII coverage. Renaissance Hotels' parent company, Marriott, is also named in the lawsuit for allegedly scheming to make Irvin the next victim of 'cancel culture.'
Irvin's alleged comment has not been revealed, and his accuser is listed as 'Jane Doe' in the filing, obtained by DailyMail.com.
The NFL Network personality says he being 'railroaded' with false accusations that are threatening his broadcasting career.
'After a friendly 45 second conversation with the employee in an open lobby that was witnessed by others, multiple witnesses have provided statements verifying Michael was a gentleman and behaved just like you see on television,' reads a statement from McCathern, the Texas law firm representing Irvin. 'He was being gracious with fans, taking pictures and speaking with anyone who wanted some of his time.'
Marriott spokespeople have not responded to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
