Porn star Moriah Mills has been turned down by lawyer Tony Buzbee as she considers suing Zion Williamson.
Mills, who has previously claimed to have had a sexual relationship with the NBA star, recently contacted the high-profile lawyer as she mulls filing legal action against Williamson for an unspecified reason. That news broke a day after Williamson was accused of rape by a Jane Doe, in a separate lawsuit obtained by the Daily Mail.
Now, Mills' request to be represented by Buzbee has been rejected, as the attorney told TMZ that he is declining to take on her case.
Buzbee confirmed that someone from his firm spoke with her but declined to get into specifics about her case.
'We can't comment about the details or merits of her claims,' he told TMZ.
'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.'

She claimed she was involved with Williamson beginning in 2021
However, high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee has declined the chance to represent her
Buzbee, who has represented sexual assault accusers of Diddy and Deshaun Watson, told the outlet previously that he was 'evaluating' Mills' claims.
Mills also confirmed that Buzbee would not be working with her, 'stating her case didn't match what Buzbee best litigates', in the words of TMZ.
In a video posted to her TikTok on Saturday, Mills responded to the allegations Williamson is now facing. She said: 'Everybody deserves a chance to be heard and I hope me and any of the other victims all get justice.
'The amount of bashing, humiliation, slander and threats that I've been receiving these last three years have been a lot and causing me a lot of stress, emotional distress.
'I just hope we all can come to justice and this all can be resolved, and nobody has to relive all these things ever again.'
On Friday, Williamson was accused of rape and physical abuse in LA by a woman claiming to be the player's ex-girlfriend. Williamson's attorneys have denied the claims.
In addition to two specific rape allegations, the Pelicans power forward is accused of a continuing pattern of 'abusive, controlling, and threatening behavior toward Plaintiff,' as detailed in the filing provided to Daily Mail by Doe's attorney.
According to the filing, Doe and Williamson began dating around 2018 when he was attending Duke. They allegedly remained together through June of 2023, by which time he was playing in the NBA for the Pelicans.
The Plaintiff claims Williamson controlled and harmed her throughout their relationship, adding that the abuse was 'sexual, physical, emotional and financial in nature.' More specifically, the Plaintiff accused Williamson of denying her access to her phone, choking her and yelling at her for 'talking too much.'
Williamson's attorneys at Usdin, Kupperman, Freeman & Sarver released a statement denying the accusations and accusing the Plaintiff of 'demanding millions of dollars' in an 'attempt to exploit' their client.
Additionally, the statement from Williamson's representatives characterizes his relationship with Doe differently than her attorney's do.
In a TikTok video posted Saturday, Moriah Mills said: 'I just hope we all can come to justice and this all can be resolved, and nobody has to relive all these things ever again.'

Rather than dating Doe, Williamson's attorneys claim, their relationship was casual' and ended 'years ago.'
Mills, meanwhile, has made several claims against Williamson in the past, including that they had a sexual relationship in 2023.
When Williamson and Ahkeema Love revealed in June 2023 they would be having a baby girl, the announcement was clouded by allegations that the former No. 1 pick was having an affair with Mills.
In response to the announcement, Mills exposed her romantic relationship with the NBA star by sharing alleged screenshots of their intimate text messages.
According to Mills, Williamson never told her that he was seeing anyone, let alone that he was an expecting father.
'I was with you last week in New Orleans and you couldn't tell me you had a random thot pregnant after all I've done for you @Zionwilliamson,' Mills tweeted.
Mills also made repeated attacks against Williamson on X, claiming that there were sex tapes of the pair, and claiming he would 'lose all your endorsements' if she released them.
