Watch Terrell Owens React to Being Served Papers in the Middle of a College Event
The suit stems from a reposted clip that accused Wells’ friends of deleting phone content and triggered widespread online reaction, attorneys said.
- On November 9, Terrell Owens was served with a federal defamation lawsuit while signing autographs at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga during homecoming weekend. Attorney Edward Paltzik shared video of the encounter on social media.
- The lawsuit stems from Owens' social media post on September 26 sharing a video from The Trent Out Loud Show, which called for the arrest of three friends of Nolan Wells, who died following Independence Day festivities in Mississippi.
- Paltzik tweeted that his servers "finally caught up" with Owens at the Mocs Bookstore, where the lawsuit alleges Owens defamed the three teenagers and placed them in a false light as murderers who escaped justice.
- Owens remains unfazed by the public service, responding on social media with "God is good" and reposting content emphasizing his continued pursuit of justice for Wells.
- Filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, the suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages. A Mississippi grand jury had previously declined to bring criminal charges in Wells' death.
