Cowboys WR Dez Bryant Sued Over $246K Jewlery Tab

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is being sued for non-payment of $246,000 worth of jewelry by a New York-based company in a civil suit filed Friday in Dallas. Bryant purchased $267,000 worth of jewelry from A+A Diamonds LTD d/b/a Rafaello & Company, which makes high-end jewelry for celebrities and athletes. Bryant's attorney, Texas state Sen. Royce West, said they are trying to settle the issue. "Is there a relationship between Dez and the jeweler? Yes," West said Monday afternoon. "The issue is how much is owed and when it's due. That's the issue. I think we'll solve it quickly." Bryant's most expensive purchase was a $60,000 custom charm bracelet. He made the purchases on four different days last year, spending as much as $144,000 on Feb. 8, 2010, according to court documents. "We'll let the lawsuit speak for itself," said Mike Bowes, a Dallas-based attorney who represents the plaintiffs. "My clients in New York worked for several months with Mr. Bryant's counsel to work something out with no satisfactory resolution."

Good to know that he's making sound investments.

 

It looks like Dez is going to be the media's new badboy. Joy.

 

Well he's acting a fool. Why would you not pay 246k in purchases, you really think you can get away with that?

 

WINNING

 

On the positive side, we finally found someone on the Dallas roster who leads the league in something

 

yep, the 'media' is making him into a bad person ........... :wtf1:

 

Been a bad few weeks for Dez. Dude needs to lay low for a while.

 

He signed a 5 year 11.8 million dollar contract with 8.3 guarenteed and a 2.5 million dollar signing bonus. 246 thousand is nothing, and not paying is just being an immature douche.

 

just wait ............ he will

 

nothing to see here folks. a player has to commit a real crime before there's something to be concerned about.

 

see, i disagree..... i enjoy watching these young men at their early stages of hubristic tendencies and following their eventual blossom into rape and murder ............... the evolution is magnificent and awe-inspiring

 

haaaaaaaa

 

the next thing you're going to hear about Dez will be about him getting shot and robbed. The cat is out of the bag npw everyone knows he likes to BLING BLING wear expensive jewelry and carry large amount of cash on him.

 

well if the mall would let him in, he could go to the piercing pagoda and pay his bill.
