The Marriott hotel chain says former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin made a vulgar sexual advance on a hotel employee, contradicting his claim that he did nothing wrong.
According to a court filing from hotel chain Marriott, a female hotel staffer accused him of "unwelcome sexual advances."Marriott says it released these allegations in a court filing because of false statementsIrvin’s attorney says the allegations are "hogwash," and they now plan to release security video of the incident.
He filed it after a Phoenix hotel employee reported misconduct against him, which later led to him be taken off NFL Network coverage leading up to the Super Bowl. Michael Irvin denies Super Bowl hotel misconduct allegationsTo that point, Marriott had publicly said almost nothing about what Irvin was accused of, but in a court filing Friday, Marriott said Irvin made unwelcome sexual advances toward a female employee.
Attorneys for Marriott say: "Taken aback by Irvin’s comments, the Victim responded that his comments were inappropriate, and she did not wish to discuss it further…Irvin then attempted to grab the Victim’s hand again and said he was ‘sorry if he brought up bad memories for her’…The Victim pulled her hand away and tried to back away from Irvin as he continued to move toward her."
Marriott goes on to say another employee walked over to Irvin after the victim walked away, and that "After Irvin finished leering at the Victim and turned back to Employee 1, he said aloud ‘she bad,’ ‘she bad…’" followed by a sexual remark.
