Williamson and Mills have had a contentious relationship
Controversial attorney Tony Buzbee released a statement rejecting adult film star Moriah Mills as a client in her legal pursuit against NBA player Zion Williamson.
According to TMZ Sports, the Texas lawyer stated that Mills reached out to his team about representing her against the New Orleans Pelicans center, but after speaking to her, his firm decided against taking her on as a client. Williamson and Mills have had a contentious relationship, and it’s unclear why she is planning to sue him. But, she definitely won’t be represented by Buzbee.
“A member of our staff spoke to her,” he said. “After review, we declined to take her case.”
“We can’t comment about the details or merits of her claims. As you know, we are contacted by numerous people across the United States daily with grievances. We can’t help them all. Some of those we do take are resolved quietly. A number are filed and litigated, like the $640 million jury verdict we achieved a few weeks back. Only a small few become public.”
The media outlet reported that Mills confirmed with them that Buzbee will not be her attorney on record, saying that her grievance did not match the type of case that Buzbee takes on. Outside of Williamson’s basketball career not playing out like most basketball analysts predicted, his off-court actions are under even more scrutiny.It was reported in May that the Pelicans player had a lawsuit filed against him by an unnamed woman accusing him of rape and domestic violence. The paperwork was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court under the Jane Doe pseudonym. She claimed she began dating Williamson when he played basketball as a freshman at Duke University in 2018.
The Athletic reported that Jane Doe alleges that the basketball player repeatedly hit and kicked her, repeatedly raped her, and made her fear for her life several times before the two stopped seeing each other in 2023.
