Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin held a press conference with his legal team and two witnesses Wednesday to deny allegations of inappropriate misconduct leveled against him by a Phoenix, Arizona, hotel employee during Super Bowl week, accusations that his attorney calls "nonsense."

Irvin, who has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against "Jane Doe" and Marriott International Inc., claimed he was kicked out of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel in the middle of the night on Feb. 5 after a hotel employee accused him of misconduct following their brief interaction.

Both Irvin and his attorney, Levi McCathern, said they were not given an adequate opportunity to view a video of the supposed encounter or get access to a copy of it.

"We have filed an emergency plaintiffs motion to enforce [a] court order to try and get the video. It was filed this morning," McCathern told reporters.

"We’re hopeful we’ll get the video to share it, but we think we’re far enough along in the case now to say this case is nonsense. … The allegations are nonsense, and we need to immediately get Michael back to work, and I believe that Renaissance needs to apologize to him."

Irvin gave an emotional statement in which he claimed that he still has no knowledge of the details of the allegations against him.
