Xavier Worthy is fighting back against Tia Jones.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver finds himself entangled in a disturbing legal battle following shocking allegations of domestic abuse made by his former fiancée, Tia Jones.
The explosive accusations would lead to his arrest and subsequent release as the local district attorney said he wouldn’t pursue the case.
Now Worthy is throwing out his own allegations.
Xavier Worthy is suing Jones and claiming she abused him and fabricated claims of domestic violence in an effort to “extort a home, money, cars, and other valuables” from him.
TMZ reported he filed the lawsuit in Texas on Monday.
The publication states Worthy says Jones became violent and “extortive” after he found out she was cheating on him.
He repeatedly asked her to leave their home and even offered to get her an apartment to allow her time to get “back on her feet.”
Worthy says she refused and “became enraged and engaged in a series of abusive, extortive efforts.”
Xavier Worthy then claimed Jones destroyed his game room earlier this month as he showed pictures of a broken desk and a PlayStation 5. Soon, he alleges she scratched his face and ripped huge chunks of his hair from his head.
The 21-year-old wide receiver says Jones would fabricate an abuse story in a petition to get a protective order.
Worthy recently completed his rookie season with the Chiefs, where he caught 59 targets for 638 receiving yards and a team-high six receiving touchdowns in his first year.
Tia Jones Obtained Temporary Protective Order Against Xavier Worthy
Earlier this month, Tia Jones, the fiancée of Xavier Worthy, obtained a temporary protective order against the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver.
The order was granted after Worthy’s arrest on a charge of assault of a family or house member and impeding the breathing or circulation, a third-degree felony assault.
Hours later, however, the status of the charge on his jail record was updated to “dismissed/declined,” and the local district attorney said he wouldn’t pursue the case.
Worthy’s legal team would soon release a statement that called her allegations against its client “false” and accused Jones of having stolen items from Worthy’s home while he was in jail.
That is why he is now suing her.
