Brenda Tracy, the woman who accused Mel Tucker of sexually assaulting her, is suing him and Michigan State for $75 million in damages, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The university fired Tucker for cause in September, saying he engaged in "undisputed behaviors which have brought public disrespect, contempt and ridicule upon the university; and constitute a material breach of his agreement, and moral turpitude."

Tracy alleged Tucker sexually harassed her during a phone call in April 2022.

Tucker acknowledged having phone sex with Tracy, but he said it was consensual. His attorney also said Michigan State had no cause to fire him because he did not "engage in unprofessional or unethical behavior."

Tracy argues her reputation has been damaged by Tucker and the school, and she has suffered "emotional and physical distress."

Tracy filed an intent to sue through the state's Court of Claims.

Michigan State did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
