During the Super Bowl week, 56-year-old NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin faced a serious allegation by a woman for inappropriate conduct at the Renaissance Hotel, owned by Marriot. This incident turned Irvin’s life suddenly upside down, as the NFL decided to pull him off from the Super Bowl coverage. Then Irvin sued the accuser for $100 million; hence, the judge at the court asked the former Cowboys WR to provide names and video evidence to prove his case. As per the latest reports, Marriot refused to provide video evidence, which could easily put the case to bed.
