Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin is one step closer to seeing alleged evidence of his inappropriate actions toward a female hotel employee. He has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit to vindicate his reputation.

A judge granted Irvin’s motion Thursday (Feb. 16) to order the Phoenix hotel to turn over a video of the alleged incident and to provide the names of those involved in the accusation against the Hall of Fame wide receiver, Fox News reports.

Irvin told Dallas radio station KRLD and the Dallas Morning News that he had a brief conversation with a woman at the Renaissance Hotel (owned by Marriott) on Feb. 5 that lasted between 45 seconds and one minute, but “there was no sexual wrongdoing,” The Washington Post reported.

He was in Arizona for media week coverage of Super Bowl LVII. Following the complaint, the NFL Network removed Irvin from its media team. “Irvin’s status with the network beyond this week is unclear,” an NFL Network spokesman told The Post.

The judge’s order directed the hotel to identify Irvin’s accuser, anyone else who filed a complaint against him, the names of NFL employees who received the complaints, and the video by Feb. 20, TMZ reports.

In court documents, Irvin said he met the woman after she introduced herself in the hotel lobby. He stated that witnesses of the encounter have described the interaction as harmless.

“We shook hands. Then I left. … That’s all I know,” Irvin recalled, adding that he didn’t remember the meeting at first because “I had a few drinks, to tell you the truth.” Irvin said he went to his hotel room and slept.
