The filing also claims that the hotel refused to listen to eye-witness accounts of the interaction.
What’s more, the hotel manager is accused in reporting the incident to the NFL ‘with the intention of damaging that relationship and canceling [Irvin].’

‘When I came into the hotel [on Sunday night], they asked what I did and I said, »I just went straight to the room,»’ Irvin said, as quoted by
‘So they moved my hotel, and I said, »What’s going on, guys? What’s happening? Why are we moving hotels?»
‘They said, »Well, last night you walked in, you talked to somebody.» I said, »I didn’t talk to anybody. I went straight to the room.»
‘And then they showed it on camera that I did talk to somebody. I talked to this girl for about a minute. I don’t know what — they didn’t show it to me. They told it to me. I didn’t see it. But that’s why they moved me, because I guess the girl said I said something to her within that minute that we talked, and so they moved me.’
‘That’s why I’m kind of hiding to wait and see how everything comes down,’ Irvin added. ‘It was a minute meeting somewhere in the lobby. I don’t even remember it really because I had a few drinks, to tell you the truth.’
