The conversation around Zion Williamson has shifted, as he's now getting acknowledgment for things outside of sports. The NBA star has recently been involved in a major lawsuit that charges him with abuse, while his ex, Moriah Mills, has written a heartwarming message.
But a prominent lawyer swiftly prevented her from taking part in the legal action. All the public attention on the case hides a lively legal battle and many different arguments.
Moriah Mills Says She Has Faced Three Years of Humiliation and Threats Following Relationship with Zion Williamson
Moriah Mills, who claimed to have dated Zion Williamson before, just talked to well-known lawyer Tony Buzbee about taking legal action against the New Orleans Pelicans player. Buzbee has been involved in well-known cases for clients such as Deshaun Watson and Diddy and he stated that his office will not handle Mills' case.
He stated, "A member of our staff spoke to her. After review, we declined to take her case." Buzbee mentioned that even though his firm gets approached by many people every day, they can't take on everyone, and only a few cases make it to the public eye.
Mills took to social media to share her emotional struggle after being rejected, saying, "Everybody deserves a chance to be heard, and I hope me and any of the other victims… I just hope we all get justice."

Zion Williamson Faces Civil Lawsuit Alleging Pattern of Abuse from 2018 to 2023
At the same time, Jane Doe has filed a civil lawsuit against Zion Williamson in Los Angeles Superior Court. She states that throughout their relationship, between 2018 and 2023, Williamson was involved in sexual, physical, emotional and financial abuse of her. It is claimed that in 2020, two women were raped by the PDP founder and the lawsuit brings charges of controlling and threatening behavior by him in many states, including California and Louisiana.
Williamson's lawyers have firmly rejected the claims, calling them "false and driven by financial gain." They maintain that the relationship was casual and consensual, having ended years back, and they plan to file a counterclaim for defamation. Moreover, they've reported the plaintiff to the police for alleged extortion, which has led to an arrest warrant.
As Williamson's legal crew gears up to fight the ongoing lawsuit and file counterclaims, it really highlights the tricky situations public figures find themselves in when dealing with legal issues. We'll have to wait and see how these cases turn out as the legal proceedings progress.

Trade war: Trump, Xi speak amid deadlock over tariffs; what was discussed
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a phone call on Thursday, Chinese state media reported, as negotiations over contentious trade tariffs between the two nations remain stuck in a gridlock that has rattled global markets. The discussion on Thursday followed Trump suggesting it was tough to reach a deal with Xi. 'I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!' Trump wrote on Truth Social yesterday. Talks between the US and China had temporarily resumed after a May 12 agreement to lower tariffs, but no breakthrough has followed. Behind the stalemate is an intensifying race for economic dominance. China, Trump said, is 'slow-walking' negotiations, while Beijing insists it is sticking to its principles. The call also came hours after Trump doubled down on tariffs, raising aluminum and steel levies from 25% to 50%, further fueling tensions with allies like Canada and Mexico, who immediately threatened retaliation. China was hit hardest by Trump's earlier April tariff blitz, with additional duties of up to 145%. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo It responded with countermeasures on US goods reaching 125%. A temporary easing agreed last month now appears fragile. While the White House had hinted at a Xi-Trump call to defuse tensions, Trump's rhetoric suggested the opposite. In response, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian reiterated that Beijing's approach to US relations remains 'consistent.' Meanwhile, global concerns are growing. OECD leaders convening in Paris warned that the trade war is weakening economic growth. The US-EU trade talks offered a sliver of optimism, with both sides calling recent meetings 'constructive.' But the US president's unpredictable tariff escalations have left even American allies on edge. Canadian PM Mark Carney called the new levies 'illegal,' while Mexico's Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said the country would seek exemptions or consider countermeasures. Trump's trade war is also under legal scrutiny. Though some tariffs are being challenged, most remain in place pending appeals, an uncertainty that continues to shake industries from steel to aviation.
