Prominent attorney Tony Buzbee, known for representing high-profile sexual assault accusers, has declined to take on Moriah Mills’ potential lawsuit against NBA star Zion Williamson. The development comes amid a rising legal storm for Williamson, who was recently hit with a separate and serious abuse lawsuit by another ex-girlfriend, identified only as “Jane Doe.”
Buzbee Says Mills’ Case Isn’t the Right Fit
Speaking to TMZ on June 2, Buzbee confirmed that his office had been approached by Mills but ultimately turned down her case:
“A member of our staff spoke to her,” Buzbee said. “After review, we declined to take her case.”
Buzbee—who helped secure a $640 million jury verdict recently—added that not every case is a fit for his firm:
“We can’t comment about the details or merits of her claims. As you know, we are contacted by numerous people across the United States daily with grievances. We can’t help them all.”
Mills also acknowledged the rejection, telling TMZ that her situation does not fall under Buzbee’s legal purview.
Zion Williamson Faces Explosive Lawsuit from Another Ex
While Mills weighs her legal options, Williamson is already entangled in a more severe lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. The plaintiff, listed as “Jane Doe,” accuses the NBA star of a disturbing pattern of:
- Sexual, physical, emotional, and financial abuse
- Rape, stalking, and false imprisonment
- Death threats and physical violence
The relationship allegedly ended in June 2023, after which the plaintiff claims she lived in fear due to Williamson’s threats and behavior.
Williamson Denies All Allegations
Through his legal team, Zion Williamson has issued a strong denial, calling the claims “categorically false and reckless”:
“While these allegations are false, we recognize the seriousness of the claims and welcome the opportunity to prove the truth in court,” the statement said.
“We are confident that the legal process will expose the truth and fully vindicate Mr. Williamson.”
Legal Outlook: Two Paths Diverging
Moriah Mills made headlines in 2023 after a social media outburst over Williamson’s relationship drama, even threatening legal action at the time. However, with Buzbee stepping back, her options for moving forward remain unclear.
Meanwhile, the Jane Doe lawsuit poses real legal jeopardy for Williamson, especially as the case includes allegations of repeated violent conduct, control, and intimidation over a sustained period.
What Happens Next?
- Moriah Mills may still seek representation from another legal firm, but her case lacks the severity or documentation needed to attract top-tier litigation support.
- The Jane Doe case is likely to proceed to pre-trial hearings this summer, where the court will assess the evidence and determine whether the case goes to trial.
Public Reaction:
- “If this is true, it’s disturbing beyond words.”
- “Zion’s image will never be the same—even if he’s cleared.”
- “Moriah Mills might just be trying to jump on the moment.”
