WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas. (KCTV) – Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has now filed suit against his ex-fiancée alleging she schemed to abuse and extort him.
The civil lawsuit is the latest development in an ongoing feud between Worthy and his ex-fiancée Tia Jones that was made public on March 8 when Worthy was arrested on a third-degree felony assault charge. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office dismissed all charges later that Saturday after the District Attorney chose not to go forward with the case.
In the lawsuit Worthy filed Monday, March 24, the Chiefs wide receiver alleges Jones “became enraged and engaged in a series of abusive, extortive efforts against (Worthy) and destroyed his game room, including his gaming desk and console, and the key to his Rolls Royce.”
Worthy alleges that destruction, which he said includes Jones “physically assaulting (Worthy) by scratching his face and ripping parts of his hair out,” happened on March 7, a day before he was arrested. It came two weeks after he claims a private investigator he hired caught Jones cheating on him on Feb. 23, 2025.
While Worthy was in custody, he claims Jones stole or destroyed over $150,000 worth of his property and cash from his home, which the two had been living together in. The lawsuit claims when Worthy was released from custody and returned home he discovered a handgun, $30,000 in cash, three bracelets, a pair of sneakers, keys to a vehicle and a jewelry box all missing.
On March 12, Jones was granted a protective order against Worthy by a Texas judge. That protective order, the lawsuit argues, “push(es) the narrative that men cannot be victims.”
Worthy’s lawsuit demands monetary relief of between $250,000 and $1 million.
