While NFL Media hasn’t released an official statement, news reports claim that an unidentified woman has made a complaint about Irvin’s alleged inappropriate behaviour.
Irvin is alleged to have greeted the woman in the lobby of his hotel and shook her hand before moving on. Later that night, Irvin was told he had to change hotels and when he asked why, he was informed it was due to the altercation he had with the woman in the lobby.
Irvin initially denied talking to anyone in the lobby but when he was shown CCTV footage of him interacting with the woman, he admitted that he did interact with the woman for less than 45 seconds but said that nothing inappropriate happened between them.
