Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones defended the culture within the organization on Monday after it was revealed last month the team reached a $2.4 million confidential settlement with four cheerleaders who accused a former executive of secretly recording them in a locker room in 2015.

Jones spoke publicly for the first time about the settlement at the NFL’s annual meeting in Florida.

"When you spend going-on-30-something years, saying, ‘Look at us, hey, wait, you’re looking away, look at us, we’re the Cowboys’—when you go that way, then when you have some things you may not want to look at, you get looked at," he said, via USA Today.

Jones said it was in the best interest of the organization’s "constituency" to settle and come to terms on a nondisclosure agreement. 

Richard Dalrymple, the senior vice president for public relations and communication, was the executive accused of wrongdoings in the ESPN report in February. One of the four members of the cheerleading squad alleged she saw Dalrymple stand hidden in a locker room with his phone recording women without their knowledge as they undressed.

Jones said Dalrymple, who retired in February about two weeks before the report surfaced, retired "on his own terms." He added the settlement was "an effort to adjudicate guilt or innocence and defended the workplace environment."
