It should be safe to say that young NBA star Zion Williamson is not having his best days of late. The Pelicans’ franchise player has been embroiled in controversies galore throughout his career. However, the latest series of allegations appears to be more serious than ever. Moriah Mills wanted to add fuel to the fire, but she has been rebuffed by celebrity lawyer Tony Buzbee according to the latest report by TMZ.

The 24-year-old is being sued to the tune of $18 million to $50 million in a se***l assault civil lawsuit. The accuser has chosen to remain unidentified in the proceedings. Many believe that it is a shakedown due to the high dollar amount of the litigation. However, in the absence of concrete details, it is hard to pin the reason. The more worrying claims are coming from adult movie star Mills, who was also in a relationship with him.

Mills had accused Williamson of assault and battery during her rants two years ago as well. She made a new video alleging that she would be pursuing legal action against Williamson a few days ago. But it seems that her first option for a litigation lawyer has turned her approach down.

Tony Buzbee declined to represent Moriah Mills in her potential lawsuit against Zion Williamson, stating that his firm reviewed her claims and chose not to take her case. He noted that his firm receives numerous inquiries daily and cannot take every case, suggesting that case volume or prioritization played a role. The exact reasons remain unclear, as Buzbee did not comment on the details or merits of her claims.

Mills herself confirmed that her case did not align with the type of litigation Buzbee typically handles, which often involves representing accusers in high-profile s**ual assault cases. Most onlookers believe that Buzbee’s decision stems from insufficient evidence and weak legal merit in Mills’ claims. However, no specific details were provided by Buzbee beyond the general statement.

The Zion Williamson-Moriah Mills saga has been embarrassing for all parties

Mills and Zion Williamson were reportedly in a romantic relationship involving money from 2021 to 2023. Their relationship became highly publicized in June 2023 after Mills made explosive allegations following Williamson’s announcement that he and his girlfriend, Ahkeema, were expecting a child. Mills claimed she had been involved with Williamson for three years.

She alleged that he contacted her initially as a “fantasy girl” and offered monetary incentives for the same. This includes monthly payments of up to $107,000 and gifts, some under a non-disclosure agreement. Mills shared alleged Snapchat messages where Williamson discussed relocating her to New Orleans.

Mills posted a series of tweets and TikTok videos during this period, accusing him of infidelity and betraying her trust. She claimed he asked for threesomes, labeled him a “s*x addict,” and alleged that he owed her $62,000 to keep quiet about their relationship.

Mills also posted a video in July 2023 claiming Williamson physically abused her since 2022, though she provided no evidence, and Williamson’s team did not publicly respond to these allegations. She further stirred controversy by getting his name tattooed on her face (later suggested to be fake) and releasing a song, “YDC,” about their relationship.

Williamson has never publicly addressed Mills’ claims. The controversy drew significant attention, with Mills facing criticism for her public outbursts and threats to leak intimate content. Williamson welcomed his daughter with Ahkeema in November 2023
