Mario Williams fired the first public salvos against his ex-fiancee, essentially calling her a gold digger in a lawsuit to recover a 10.04-carat engagement ring worth $785,000. Erin Marzouki has filed a response and counterclaim against Williams, alleging he repeatedly broke up with her only to reconcile and told her to keep the ring after their final split. For the first time since Williams filed his lawsuit, he spoke with reporters but didn’t have much to say about the case. “It’s just something that happened, and it is what it is,†Williams said. “When we’re here, playing ball and inside this facility, with this family, it’s all about us; it’s not about anything else. “Anything personal is personal. You don’t mix that with what we’re trying to accomplish here.†Marzouki’s attorney, Anthony Buzbee, declared in an interview with the Houston Chronicle that Williams was foolish to file his lawsuit. “This is a stupid lawsuit because it has no legal merit, and it’s a stupid lawsuit because it’s not going to be good for his career,†Buzbee said. Buzbee also told the Chronicle that Williams “is a victim of his emotions and of bad legal advice. What he’s done is kick an anthill, and you know what happens when you kick an anthill.†The counterclaim asserts Williams is suing to “harass and scare Ms. Marzouki.†The ring is located in a security-deposit box, and she has no intentions to dispose of it.

Its common procedure for the man to get the ring back if the marriage doesnt happen. If it does it is usually the womens to keep, but it can be fought for as a piece of the marital assets. In this case the ring is Marios, slam dunk, gonna make the snitchs lawyer look like an idiot
The only way it's not is if he proposes on her birthday, Christmas, valentines day, etc where it could be classified as a "gift."
