Michael Irvin Shares Footage of His Encounter With Marriott Accuser

National Football League Hall of Famer Michael Irvin on Tuesday fought back against accusations that he sexually harassed a hotel employee in Arizona last month by releasing video footage of their interaction.

The former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, who was staying at the Marriott Renaissance Phoenix Hotel & Spa to cover Super Bowl LVII for the NFL Network when the alleged encounter took place, held a press conference in Dallas with his lawyers during which they shared the security video. He’s been accused of asking the woman if she “knew anything about having a ‘big Black man inside of [her].’” “I don’t speak like that. I’ve never spoken like that,” Irvin told the reporters assembled before him. “I totally deny saying that.”

Irvin and his team claimed the footage, which appears to depict a casual exchange, exonerates him of any wrongdoing. But, as the video has no sound, it is impossible to know exactly what was said. Irvin was not accused of physically assaulting the woman.
