A clearly emotional Michael Irvin wiped away tears as he listened to a witness defend him against allegations of misconduct that resulted in him being sent home from the Super Bowl last month.
The NFL legend-turned-analyst was in Arizona to work the season finale, but ended up heading home before the game after a short meeting with a female employee in the lobby of the Marriott hotel.
Irvin is now seeking $100million in damages from 'Jane Doe' and the Marriott - with the latter initially reluctant to share inside surveillance footage of the incident.
On Wednesday, Irvin was present at a press conference alongside his lawyer, and he appeared visibly emotional as he relived the incident through the witness.
Being videoed at a table while the witness spoke on Zoom on a screen behind him, Irvin can be seen taking off his glasses and wiping tears from his eyes.

'This takes me back to a time where a white woman would accuse a Black man of something and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law, run in the barn, put a rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hang him by the tree,' he said.
Irvin also called the whole incident 'sickening' and insisted it has made him question any and all future meetings with fans, for fear of what might be alleged.
Meanwhile, Irvin's attorneys said upon finally receiving the video from a Phoenix, Arizona Marriott
