NFL's Xavier Worthy Accused of Domestic Violence, Granted Protective Order

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy denies allegations of domestic abuse by fiancée Tia Jones, as a Texas judge grants a temporary protective order.

Tia Jones, fiancée of Xavier Worthy, alleges multiple incidents of domestic violence over the past year, culminating in an alleged violent altercation on March 7, 2025.
Worthy was arrested on March 7 on charges of assault by impeding breath or circulation but was released after the district attorney declined to pursue charges due to insufficient evidence.
Jones has been granted a temporary protective order, which will remain in effect until a hearing scheduled for April 1, 2025.
Worthy's attorneys claim the allegations are baseless and accuse Jones of infidelity, property damage, and physical aggression during the incident.
The Kansas City Chiefs have acknowledged the situation and are gathering further information while law enforcement continues its investigation.
