Analyst Michael Irvin has been reinstated by NFL Network for the 2023 season following allegations of unwanted sexual advances at the Super Bowl earlier this year.
The NFL legend was in Arizona to work the Super Bowl, but was removed from his broadcasting duties before the game after a female employee at the Renaissance Phoenix Hotel & Spa accused him of harassing her.
Irvin has reportedly settled his $100million defamation lawsuit with the Marriott – with the latter initially reluctant to share inside surveillance footage of the incident – and compared the situation to a modern-day lynching in a press conference.
Marriott filed a motion in response related to the suit, fighting back with its own version of events from the encounter on February 5.
The motion seen by DailyMail.com claimed that the 57-year-old’s characterization of the incident was inaccurate and accused Irvin of making unwanted sexual advances, asking the employee ‘if she knew anything about having a “big black man inside of [her].”‘
