Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy Sues Ex-Fiancée: Allegations of Extortion and Abuse Unfold
In a dramatic turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has taken legal action against his former fiancée, Tia Jones, in Williamson County, Texas. Worthy alleges that Jones stole and destroyed more than $150,000 in cash and property belonging to him and also assaulted him. This lawsuit comes on the heels of Worthy’s own legal troubles, as he was arrested earlier this month in Texas on a charge of assault of a family or house member by impeding the breathing or circulation. However, the Williamson County District Attorney announced that no charges would be filed against Worthy.
Worthy is seeking a substantial amount in damages, ranging from $250,000 to $1 million, which includes punitive and exemplary damages. The lawsuit paints a picture of a tumultuous relationship that took a turn for the worse when Worthy discovered Jones had been “unfaithful.” According to Worthy, he asked Jones multiple times over a 12-day period in February to leave a residence he had purchased. Despite offering to find her an apartment nearby, Jones allegedly refused to leave.
The lawsuit further claims that instead of leaving amicably, Jones became enraged and engaged in a series of abusive and extortive actions against Worthy. The allegations include destroying his game room, which housed a gaming desk, a PlayStation 5 console, and the key to his Rolls Royce. Worthy also claims that Jones physically assaulted him by scratching his face and ripping parts of his hair out, causing him pain and injury. To support his claims, Worthy included photos of the damage to his game room and the hair that had been torn from his head.
Among the items Worthy alleges are missing from his game room are $30,000 in cash that was stored in a closet and a handgun that was left on a couch. These allegations add another layer of complexity to an already convoluted situation.
In a twist, earlier this month, Jones was granted a protective order against Worthy by a Texas judge. This development adds another dimension to the ongoing legal battle between the two.
- Key Allegations:
- Theft and destruction of over $150,000 in cash and property

The outcome of this legal battle could have significant implications for both parties involved, not only legally but also in terms of their personal and professional reputations.
As the story unfolds, it will be interesting to see how both Worthy and Jones navigate the legal system and what impact, if any, this will have on Worthy’s career with the Kansas City Chiefs. For now, all eyes are on the courtroom as this high-stakes drama continues to play out.
