Where the hell is your moral code?My argument, unlike yours is based upon the law. Your is based upon your personal feelings of how people should operate.

Based on what has been reported....
Right now Jerry does not owe her any money (beyond continuing to fund the trust if he still has to make those payments). The trust has been paying her predetermined amounts all her life, with 2 payments remaining: one at age 26 and one at age 28 (she is currently 25). While I am sure there were lawyers involved in establishing this trust, it is (reportedly) something that Jerry and the mother worked out on their own. It was not court ordered.
As such, she has no basis by which to sue Jerry. He doesn't owe her anything, nor is she entitled to anything beyond the agreement that was made 25 years ago. (If the trust had been a meager amount of money, she would be entitled to a degree of child support, but that does not appear to have been the case). For those trying to turn her into some sort of sob story.... she may not exactly have had the most ideal situation growing up, but she got dealt a hand which is a helluva lot better than most others born out of wedlock.
So how can she get more money out of Jones? Well, public pressure and threatening bad PR are always good strategies. As Jerry demonstrated 25 years ago, rich men pay money to avoid such things.... and he is a lot richer today than he was when he made the original deal. But first, she needs to weasel her way out of the NDA, which is the goal of this lawsuit.
Unintelligent people view the above as some sort of defense of Jerry, when all I am doing is explaining the law and extrapolating her motives.
Then what’s your beef with her?Nothing, if Jerry were my dad, I can promise Id be trying to get a piece of that cake also.
My moral code??? Hows this for a moral code. Got married at 18. Still married 34 years later. 4 kids, oldest has a masters, 3rd is graduating from UCLA this spring... 4th is going to graduate in 3 years from a local CSU. 2nd manages a local business. Put myself through college and wife have made a nice life for us and our family. Never fooled around on my wife. I worked and earned everything I have and overcame drunk parents, physical abuse in the house as well as overcoming a complete dysfunctional joke of an upbringing. 4 years in military and graduated college with honrs.Where the hell is your moral code?
But you’re more supportive of Jethro in this situation than his illegitimate daughter ?My moral code??? Hows this for a moral code. Got married at 18.

Thats my moral code. i dont try to tell others how to live..... unlike some.
I dont let feelings get in the way of whats legal... thats the difference between us. You think others should do as you FEEL they should. i say no such thing. And yea, my daughters know exactly where I stand and I am perfectly ok with that. Trust me.. im good with my kids, thank you very much.Then what’s your beef with her?
Or are you just arguing on his behalf but you think he’s a model citizen.
Good grief Reid. You have daughters don’t you. This is the position you’d be proud to go public on for all to see.
What legal course did this girl have at birth?I dont let feelings get in the way of whats legal... thats the difference between us.

Im not supportive of either. I dont know either one of them... its up to them to work out their stuff.But you’re more supportive of Jethro in this situation than his illegitimate daughter ?

But you’re taking a legal stand for Jethro . Why? Just to kill time and take me on or do you really believe in what he’s doing?Im not supportive of either. I dont know either one of them... its up to them to work out their stuff.
what exactly is he doing? Have you had meetings with him? Do you know what the trsut amount is? How much she has gotten each year? Each month?But you’re taking a legal stand for Jethro . Why? Just to kill time and take me on or do you really believe in what he’s doing?
Why are you defending Jethro’s position here?what exactly is he doing? Have you had meetings with him? Do you know what the trsut amount is? How much she has gotten each year? Each month?
Why are you defending Jethro’s position here?
You’re a defender and supporter of him on many football related issues but why here?

The mother isn’t innocent in all of this.
Not sure what her choices were. Maybe she was the gold digger.
And apparently had a relationship with Jethro for many years. And who knows what else her involvement was with Jones family.
None her Mom made the decision for her and did not hold up on her end of the agreement she violated the NDAWhat legal course did this girl have at birth?
Maybe Alexandra saw the Zeke contract negotiations happen and knows how easily Jerry can fold.we have no clue what has already happened behind the scenes. My guess is her attorneys already approached jerry, and he said piss off. And without a doubt there will be a future lawsuit. Id bet my life on that... unless Jerry caves and pays more money out to avoid going to court.
Like Couch Coach accurately stated earlier , actions speak louder than words.
And Jethro took extensive action to financially take care of Cindy and Alex Davis. And Alex made the most of her opportunities as she’s flourished in her academics and career.
This doesn’t mean the daughter doesn’t have a right at some point to establish who her father is. Alex didn’t make the settlement deal while she has benefitted from it.
And Jethro has probably benefitted from this not coming out publicly 25 years ago. No telling what effects or impacts could have had on his marriage , siblings and business interest not to mention his image at that point in his life if it had become known of a long standing affair with offspring . Could have cost him everything.
And why I just can’t imagine any animosity towards Alex now. She has every right to pursue her god given rights and suffer whatever the results are. Jethro and her mother Cindy will have to live with those decisions they made 25 years. The daughter doesn’t have to.
