Jerry Jones is currently in the midst of a legal battle as a lawsuit was filed against him back in 2020. This lawsuit came from an anonymous woman who claims that he allegedly “kissed her on the mouth and forcibly grabbed her without her consent." According to the victim's account, this all happened on September 16, 2018 at the Dallas Cowboys' home stadium. Subsequently, Jones denied any wrongdoing and immediately filed motions to have the lawsuit thrown out.
Overall, the Dallas County district court decided to throw out the case. This is because Jones and his lawyers argued that the victim could not go by "Jane Doe." Otherwise, her lawsuit would be invalid. The court agreed with this ruling, and for a while, it seemed like Jones was in the clear. However, that is no longer the case as the victim's lawyers challenged this ruling. The lawsuit was reviewed by a Texas appellate court, and now, it has been revealed by Radar Online that the case is back on.
Jerry Jones Loses Ruling
As the outlet reported, the court stated that Jane Doe “made a good faith attempt to amend her pleadings in response to the court’s special exceptions order." Moreover, they believe that the lower court made an incorrect judgment call. Now, this entire lawsuit could very well go to trial. This could be devastating for Jones and the Cowboys organization as a whole. Having said that, it remains to be seen how all of this is going to go down.
At the time of writing this, the appellate court's decision is the latest update in the case. Jones and his lawyers are still calling the alleged victim's claims into question. However, it will be up to the trial to determine what truly happened here. Let us know what you think of this developing situation, in the comments below.
