On Tuesday, a damning report came out that Brent Hundley’s ex-wife had accused him of abuse and giving her an STD in a damning lawsuit.

Less than 24 hours later, Hundley’s lawyer spoke to TMZ Sports and not only fired back at the lawsuit, but accused the unnamed ex-wife of extortion.

“She threatened to file this lawsuit (three years after her most recent alleged event) unless the sum of $750,000 was paid by Brett,” Hundley’s attorneys said. “This is IN ADDITION to over one half a million dollars she stands to receive from their brief 2-1/2 year marriage and the $13,000 a month she received for spousal support.”
“She also begged Brett to reconcile as recently as September 2019 to which he was not interested.”
The attorneys added Hundley will be filing a countersuit … saying, “Brett is known for being of SOLID character. We will absolutely defend Brett’s character against this malicious effort to extort him and/or disparage his excellent reputation.”
“Brett will be responding with a Cross Complaint … for Malicious Prosecution, as well as a claim against her counsel … for a baseless lawsuit that is among other things TIME BARRED.”

His ex-wife , who is identified as Jane Doe, claimed the Arizona Cardinals choked her and threw her around their bedroom during a heated argument in 2016, only letting up off his grip after she told him, “I can’t breathe.” She stated she suffered mental trauma and a broken ankle.

11 months later in December of that same year, she claimed another argument happened where Hundley pushed her through an open garage door, which caused her a back injury in the process.

3 months later in March 2017, she also alleges Hundley charged at her during an argument and threw her onto a pool table and repeatedly shoved her against it.
