A federal judge on Wednesday tossed out defamation claims filed against Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and several associates by a woman who says she is the billionaire's daughter.
Federal Judge Robert W. Schroeder III on Wednesday dismissed the lawsuit filed by Alexandra Davis"with prejudice," meaning the case cannot be filed again. SchroederDavis, a 27-year-old congressional aide, originally sued Jones in March 2022 to seek recognition as his biological daughter, a matter that is still pending. The separate defamation case, filed that same month, named as defendants Jones; his longtime personal lawyer, Donald P.
Wilkinson said he and Jones would have no immediate comment on the judge's ruling. Jack could not be reached. Davis' attorneys, Andrew Bergman and Jay Gray, released a statement saying they were"disappointed in the ruling and intend to appeal." Schroeder rejected the original claim, finding that some of the alleged defamatory statements were either true or"not defamatory." He also ruled that Davis qualified as a"limited public figure" and as such had failed to make a valid claim of actual malice, a requirement under defamation law.
