There is no sexual assault. The fact Marriott is taking the position that it is is an insult to all of the true female victims out there. I was shocked by Marriott’s prior handling of this situation. I am now disgusted and appalled. I wish trial was tomorrow, so Michael could clear his name and get the compensation he deserves for Marriott’s reckless disregard for the truth.”
Irvin has sued Marriott for $100 million. Following the initial accusation, the former player-turned-commentator was removed from Super Bowl coverage on the NFL Network and ESPN.
