The legal dispute over a private recording involving Denver Broncos star Von Miller took a new turn, as the woman involved told TMZ she never tried to extort him.
According to court papers first reported by The Smoking Gun, Von sought a restraining order in Los Angeles to stop a woman from releasing a recording made in June 2016 during a trip to Cancun. The filing says Von asked her to destroy it and that she did not. It also alleges she was seeking $2.5 million.
Now Elizabeth is telling her side. She told TMZ the encounter was consensual and that recording it was discussed between them. She said she agreed to record it on her phone and that Von never asked her to delete it. She also said she declined his request to send him the footage because he had recorded clips on his own phone.
Elizabeth denied the extortion claim and called it untrue. She said she never asked Von for money and that the $2.5 million figure came from her attorney, as a counter offer after Von’s legal team named an initial settlement amount. She did confirm her attorney contacted Von about the recording.
The two accounts clearly do not match, especially on whether Von asked for the recording to be deleted. Neither Von nor his representatives had responded publicly to Elizabeth’s comments in the reporting available at the time. We will update this story as more official information is released.
