Woman refiles defamation lawsuit against Jerry Jones, associates

A woman who says she is the daughter of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has refiled a defamation case against the billionaire and two associates, alleging that they hatched a plan to portray her as an "extortionist."

Federal Judge Robert W. Schroeder III had last month tossed out much of the defamation lawsuit filed by Alexandra Davis, a 26-year-old congressional aide, against Jones, his longtime personal lawyer Donald P. Jack and Jim Wilkinson, a communications consultant for the Jones family.

Davis originally sued Jones in March 2022 to seek recognition as his biological daughter.
