Xavier Worthy’s ex-fiancee files for temporary protective order, lawyers release competing statements

Xavier Worthy’s ex-fiancee filed for a temporary protective order Wednesday, according to KVUE-TV. Afterward, her lawyers and Worthy’s released competing statements.

Worthy was arrested last week and faced charges of assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing circulation. His lawyers quickly spoke out about the allegations, calling them “baseless” in a statement on his behalf. The charges were later labeled as “dismissed/declined,” meaning Worthy wouldn’t be charged at this time.

In a statement Wednesday, lawyers for Worthy’s fiancee Tia Jones said she filed for a temporary protective order against him. The statement said the judge granted the order.

“Today, Tia Jones filed an application for a protective order against Xavier Worthy, based [on] his violent actions against her culminating on the night of March 7, 2025,” the statement read. “Based upon the truthful information provided by Mr. Jones, a judge has granted a temporary protective order on her behalf. She is fully cooperating with law enforcement as they continue to actively investigate the violence that occurred that night.

“Ms. Jones has chosen to use her voice to speak up for herself. In so doing, she looks forward to the facts and circumstances of that night coming to light through the formal legal process, and getting the justice that she deserves. She appreciates the support that she has received thus far.”

In a statement of their own to Pro Football Talk, Worthy’s attorneys said they are aware of the filing. However, the former Texas star continues to maintain his denial of the allegations and alleged Jones stole items from his home while he was incarcerated. Some of the items have since been returned, according to the statement.

“We are aware of the civil court (not criminal court) filing by Ms. Jones and her criminal defense team,” Worthy’s attorneys said. “Mr. Worthy denies each of the allegations by Ms. Jones. Unfortunately, false allegations continue to be made, this time in civil court. Today the accuser returned items stolen from Mr. Worthy’s residence while he was in jail and there are items still missing from when he was incarcerated. Mr. Worthy maintains his innocence and stands by the conclusions of the District Attorney after law enforcement’s review of Ms. Jones’ unfounded allegations.”

This past season, Worthy recorded 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season. He became the first former Longhorn to score a touchdown during a Super Bowl after finishing the game with 157 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 50-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
