The female staffer alleges Michael Irvin of â inappropriate behavior, including unwanted touching and crude language,â per Scooby Axson of USA TODAY.
In the video, Michael Irvin and the female staffer, who is referred to as âMs. Doeâ in a case filed in Arizona Superior Court, can be seen having what appears to be a harmless discussion in the hotel lobby. Irving is also seen touching her a couple of times on the elbow before the two parted ways. The video was captured by a surveillance camera on Feb. 5.
The incident would also be later known as a reason why Michael Irvin was removed from the broadcast teams of ESPN and the NFL Network for the airing of the Super Bowl 57 game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Irvinâs attorney, Levi McCathern, pulled his clientâs $100 million lawsuit from a Texas federal court and refiled it in Arizona.
