**New Orleans Pelicans** star **Zion Williamson** picked up a big win on Tuesday when famed attorney **Tony Buzbee** declined to represent plaintiff **Moriah Mills.** Mills, who was in a relationship with Williamson from 2018-23, had explored potential litigation against Williamson, who is currently the defendant in another civil lawsuit alleging kidnapping and rape.
Buzbee, meanwhile, rose to prominence in recent years as the representative for several accusers in cases against NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson, music superstars Jay-Z and Diddy, as well as former ESPN and Fox Sports employee Shannon Sharpe.
But this time around, Buzbee told TMZ that his firm has declined to accept a potential case against Williamson.
### Famed Attorney Tony Buzbee Explains Decision To Turn Down Zion Williamson Case
“A member of our staff spoke to her,” Buzbee said. “After review, we declined to take her case.”
When asked why his firm opted against representing Mills, Buzbee insinuated that an extensive case load factored into the decision.
“We can’t comment about the details or merits of her claims,” he added. “As you know we are contacted by numerous people across the United States daily with grievances. We can’t help them all. Some of those we do take are resolved quietly. A number are filed and litigated, like the $640 million jury verdict we achieved a few weeks back. Only a small few become public.”
Mills had previously threatened to leak intimate videos of their relationship following their break-up and is currently [exploring the option of legal action](https://brobible.com/sports/article/zion-williamson-ex-girlfriend-speaks-out/) against the 24-year-old.
“Everybody deserves a chance to be heard, and I hope me and any of the other victims… I just hope we all get justice,” she said in a post on social media.
Neither Williamson, his attorneys, nor the Pelicans have commented on the allegations. Williamson and New Orleans agreed to a five-year, $197 million contract prior to the 2022-23 NBA season, however, the last three years of the contract are non-guaranteed.
