It claims the woman’s lawyers sent Prescott a letter earlier this year saying that unless he paid $100 million, they would go public with her story.
In that letter, the woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by Prescott back in 2017, just after his first season with the Cowboys.
In a statement, Prescott’s lawyers said the story was completely fabricated.
They said Prescott has never engaged in any non-consensual sexual conduct with anyone.
