Dolphins owner Stephen Ross calls Brian Flores' allegations 'false, malicious and defamatory'

 

Included in Brian Flores' bombshell lawsuit Tuesday against the NFL over what he alleges are discriminatory hiring practices were allegations that Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him $100,000 for each game lost during the 2019 season. 

Ross responded with force in a statement released late Wednesday night. 

"With regards to the allegations being made by Brian Flores, I am a man of honor and integrity and cannot let them stand without responding," Ross wrote in the statement. "I take great personal exception to these malicious attacks, and the truth must be known. His allegations are false, malicious and defamatory.

"We understand there are media reports stating that the NFL intends to investigate his claims, and we will cooperate fully. I welcome that investigation and I am eager to defend my personal integrity, and the integrity and values of the entire Miami Dolphins organization, from these baseless, unfair and disparaging claims.”

Director David Leitch recently backed away from the project  and now there's even more turmoil. It seems as though the filmmaker is directing his attention towards the new Ryan Gosling picture, Fall Guy over at Universal Pictures. For Netflix, there was a full court press to find another director to replace Leitch, but now, they've decided to let things cool off  before putting Smith back out there again.  For the Fresh Prince star, he's still got Emancipation coming out on Apple+ at some point. The slave escape movie is in post-production and will need to be released in some form. His other work with Bad Boys  will also be paused for the moment. Audiences loved the latest entry in the series. It all seems a bit like window dressing in an industry where comebacks are about as common as the ...
