Ezekiel Elliott is clearly unimpressed by a lawsuit recently filed against him regarding an incident that happened at his home.
The Dallas Cowboys running back’s three dogs allegedly attacked a pool cleaner he’d hired in March, and the alleged victim is seeking significant financial damages from him.
Elliott publicly reacted to the suit Friday in response to a Twitter user who made a joking remark about the suit.
“Devin used to clean Ezekiel Elliott’s pool (a Dallas Cowboys football player) & someone just told me his new pool tech was mauled by his 3 dogs and is now suing for $200,000 and my first thought was “wish it would have happened to Devin” lmaoo,” she said on Twitter.
Elliott’s response:
“Sad that people would rather sue and try to take someone’s money than respectfully go earn their money. People are a joke. Mam you are sad,” he said in response.

Elliott’s attorney issued a statement on the alleged incident, saying “Ezekiel was in no way negligent in connection with the alleged incident and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.”
The 24-year-old is coming off a season where he ran for 1,357 yards and 12 touchdowns.
