Zion Williamson, the New Orleans Pelicans star, is facing a civil lawsuit from a woman identified as “Jane Doe,” who alleges sexual violence during their relationship from 2018 to 2023. The lawsuit claims incidents of abuse in multiple states, including allegations of strangulation and other forms of physical violence. Williamson’s attorney has denied the allegations, calling them false and an attempt at extortion, while stating that Williamson plans to file counterclaims for defamation and that the Pelicans are aware of the situation but have deferred comments to his legal team.
