Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is taking legal action against his former fiancee, alleging she fabricated domestic violence accusations in a calculated attempt to extort money, property, and valuables from him.

The lawsuit, filed on Monday in Texas, comes just weeks after Worthy was arrested in connection with an incident that occurred at their shared home in Williamson County.

The 21-year-old NFL star was taken into custody on March 7 following claims by his ex, Tia Jones, who alleged that Worthy had choked her during a dispute.

However, prosecutors later declined to move forward with criminal charges, reportedly citing conflicting accounts and insufficient evidence.

Now, Worthy is countering with a civil suit, insisting that not only are Jones’ claims false, but that he was the true victim in the relationship.

“I just wanna focus on finishing the job,” Worthy said in an earlier interview about football, but his legal filings this week reflect a very different battle off the field.

According to the documents submitted by Worthy‘s legal team, the issues began in late February when he allegedly discovered that Jones had been unfaithful.

He claims that he repeatedly asked her to leave their home and even offered to cover the cost of an apartment to help her transition. Instead, he says she turned hostile.

Claims of violence, theft and reputational harm

Worthy’s lawsuit accuses Jones of responding with a wave of destructive behavior. He says she “became enraged and engaged in a series of abusive, extortive efforts,” beginning with the destruction of his personal belongings.

According to his account, she wrecked his game room, damaged a desk, smashed a PlayStation 5, and physically attacked him – leaving scratches on his face and ripping out chunks of his hair.

Worthy claims the March 7 incident ended with her fabricating a detailed story about repeated abuse, which she submitted to obtain a protective order. But while Worthy was in custody, he alleges that Jones took advantage of the situation to cause further harm.

He says she “stole or destroyed over $150,000 worth of [his] personal property and cash from the residence,” including a handgun, designer bracelets, and more.

Making matters worse, Worthy alleges this wasn’t the first time Jones exhibited similar behavior in a relationship with another high-profile individual, though specifics of that claim were not included in the filing.

The lawsuit seeks more than $250,000 in damages, pointing to the financial and emotional toll of the situation.
