Aside from not releasing a video that has been ordered by a judge, Marriott is not finally hitting back at Michael Irvin and his lawsuit over allegations that a female employee is not being truthful with her misconduct claims against him.
Marriott has filed a motion to dismiss the compliant filed by Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver and Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin. Per Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic, Marriott argues it doesn’t own the Phoenix hotel in which a female hotel employee accused Irvin of misconduct earlier this month.
The report also noted that Marriott claims Irvin made “harassing and inappropriate comments.” The only known or recorded interaction between Irvin and the woman was a brief exchange that reportedly lasted less than a minute.
Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against his accuser after NFL Network booted him from Super Bowl LVII coverage.
A federal judge presiding over the case has already given Marriott a deadline to provide the video allegedly showing what happened between Irvin and his accuser.
Amid the allegations, Irvin wasted no time getting his side of the story out. He recalled what occurred in the hotel lobby during an appearance on “Shan & RJ” on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

“Sunday night… when I came into the hotel, they asked what I did and I said, ‘I just went straight to the room,’” Irvin said. “But I guess I had met somebody in the lobby. Talked to somebody in the lobby for about a minute and then I went to my room. And then after I got up there, they said they had to move me in the hotel. I said, ‘Move me in the hotel for what?’
“So they moved my hotel, and I said, ‘What’s going on, guys? What’s happening? Why are we moving hotels?’ They said, ‘Well, last night you walked in, you talked to somebody.’ I said, ‘I didn’t talk to anybody. I went straight to the room.’”
