Alexandra Davis, a 25-year-old congressional aide, filed a lawsuit against Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on March 3rd, alleging he is her biological father
In a Jan. 5 letter obtained by ESPN, Bergman contacted Jones on Davis’s behalf to inform him of her willingness to determine if they are related, and extended the offer to participate if he was “willing to cooperate.” Bergman also told Jones that “he would proceed with legal action to force Jones to acknowledge he is the woman’s father,” per ESPN.
The paternity suit claims that Jones “pursued” Davis’s mother, Cynthia Davis Spencer, in 1995 while she was estranged from her husband, and the two began an illicit relationship leading to Davis’s birth. The suit also alleges Jones arranged a confidentially agreement with Spencer, paid Davis $375,000 “in exchange for confidentiality,” and set up trusts for both women to keep the paternity a secret.
“We challenge Mr. Jones to deny that he is the father and/or that he paid the money for the confidentiality agreement for Alex’s mother,” Bergman said Monday, per ESPN. “When [Cynthia] Davis was subpoenaed in an unrelated proceeding, Jerry’s lawyers told [Cynthia] Davis, Alex’s mother, that Jerry’s lawyer, Don Jacks, would be very mad and Jerry would probably terminate the trust.”
Jones declined to comment on the matter Monday from the NFL’s annual league meeting in Florida, calling it a “personal matter,”As the case moves into its next steps, a hearing to determine whether the suit should remain sealed to the public is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
