Marriott International provided its own account of what happened during an encounter between Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin and a hotel female employee last month.
The employee accused Irvin of inappropriate behavior and he was subsequently removed from assignments covering the Super Bowl by the NFL Network and ESPN.
On Friday, in a 28-page motion obtained by USA TODAY Sports, Marriott first blasted Irvin's press conference on Wednesday in which the former Dallas Cowboys receiver said he was innocent, and added it took him "back to a time where a white woman would accuse a black man of something, and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law, run in a barn, put a rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hang him by a tree."
On the night in question, Marriott says that Irvin flagged down the accuser and "appeared to be visibly intoxicated" and began his aggressive behavior toward the employee, shaking her hand, stating she was attractive, and asking her if she watched football.
“Irvin also reached out and touched the Victim’s arm during this conversation without her consent, causing her to step back, becoming visibly uncomfortable. Irvin then asked the Victim whether she knew anything about having a “big Black man inside of [her]," the lawsuit says.
“Irvin then attempted to grab the Victim’s hand again and said he was ‘sorry if he brought up bad memories’ for her.’ The Victim pulled her hand away and tried to back away from Irvin as he continued to move towards her.”
@The bolded I can definitely see Irvin saying something like that gone off that white
