The federal judge determined that Davis didn’t sufficiently prove that Jones and his associates acted with malice, according to FOX 4.

The ruling came days after a judge upheld a separate ruling that Jones must take a paternity test to determine whether he is the biological father of Davis. 

Jones’ lawyers argued in the hearing that the man who was married to Cynthia Davis at the time was the presumed father of the woman, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Jones has denied being the father of Davis.

Davis filed her initial lawsuit against Jones on March 3, 2022. She alleged that her mother, Cynthia Davis, had a relationship with Jones in the late '90s in which they conceived her. Davis sought a DNA test to prove that Jones was her father after initially suing, and later dropped it, to have a judge declare she wasn’t bound by a financial settlement between him and her mother, according to the paper.
