Xavier Worthy‘s fiancée has recently made shocking allegations in her application for a restraining order against the NFL star. These claims include serious accusations that he has reportedly choked and physically assaulted her on multiple occasions. Such allegations are deeply concerning and highlight the urgent need for awareness regarding domestic violence and its effects on victims.
TMZ Sports has obtained the court filings, where Tia Jones—engaged to Worthy since July 2024—details horrific incidents, claiming that the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver has resorted to violence against her on at least five different occasions throughout the past year. These allegations not only raise serious concerns about Worthy’s behavior but also shed light on the troubling reality many face in abusive relationships.
According to the documents filed, the first incident allegedly occurred in October 2024, following a disagreement over comments made by Worthy’s mother. Jones claims that during this confrontation, Worthy became so enraged that he “pushed me to the ground with two fingers.” Although he reportedly apologized shortly after, such actions raise serious concerns about his temperament and the potential for escalating violence in their relationship.
Several weeks later, around the Christmas holidays, Jones alleges in the restraining order application that Worthy physically assaulted her by picking her up, throwing her onto a bed, and choking her during an argument about his alleged infidelity. These violent outbursts highlight a disturbing pattern of behavior that can have long-lasting effects on victims of domestic violence.
Jones expressed her fears in the documentation, stating, “He knew about my history of abuse in past relationships,” and described her horror at his actions, emphasizing how traumatic such incidents can be for victims. She asserted that she warned him to never repeat such behavior again, indicating her awareness of the serious implications of his actions.
Despite her warnings, Jones alleges that this incident only further enraged Worthy, leading him to charge at her and throw her to the ground. She reported sustaining injuries, including a bloody and swollen toe, and ultimately left his residence. Upon returning later, they had a conversation where he apologized, but she noted in her documents that it wasn’t long before he attacked her again, indicating a troubling cycle of violence.
In one of the more alarming incidents, Jones recounted a dispute that took place in a closet of one of his residences in Kansas City. She alleges that during their argument, he became impatient with her perspective, grabbed her throat with his left hand, and violently shook her while throwing her head back, exhibiting dangerous and aggressive behavior that can lead to severe emotional and physical trauma.
Jones vividly described the physical pain she endured, mentioning, “My head jerked forward,” as she struck her face against the closet door, resulting in a chipped bottom tooth. She conveyed how painful and traumatic this experience was, underscoring the severe impact of domestic violence on victims both physically and psychologically.
Jones further detailed that another altercation occurred around Valentine’s Day, after they had another argument regarding his alleged cheating, during which he demanded she leave their home. This incident exemplifies the emotional turmoil and instability often present in abusive relationships.
She recounted, “He got very upset with me,” describing how he aggressively grabbed her throat with two fingers, squeezing, shaking her, and forcefully pushing her away. This alarming behavior highlights the seriousness of her allegations and the fear that victims often live with in such environments.
Jones documented that the most recent physical altercation occurred on March 7, which ultimately led to Worthy’s arrest later that day. This incident marks a critical moment in her struggle, as it represents both the culmination of escalating violence and the potential for seeking help.
She stated emphatically, “This was absolutely the most violent he has ever been,” underscoring the severity of her experiences and the critical need for intervention in cases of domestic violence.
Jones, a talented track and field athlete, indicated that the problems escalated in the morning when Worthy became “upset with me because I didn’t give him and his new dog enough attention the night before after my long day of practice.” This illustrates how seemingly minor issues can trigger significant violence in volatile relationships.
She recounted the heated exchange, noting that after she referred to him as “a bitch,” he “flipped out,” demonstrating how quickly situations can escalate in abusive dynamics.
Jones stated that Worthy violently picked her up and slammed her body against the walls of their home while yelling for her to “get out.” She described how she could only escape after pulling his hair, illustrating the physical dominance he exerted over her during these confrontations.
Following this, she claimed that Worthy continued to pursue her, further exerting physical control over her by placing his hands on her again, demonstrating a pattern of manipulation and aggression.
“He grabs me by my throat, lifts me off the ground, and slams me on the floor,” she recounted, indicating the brutality of his physical attacks and the fear that such violence instills in victims.
Jones reported that the force of the incident caused her to hit her head so hard that her vision became blurry. While Worthy eventually calmed down, she had to cancel her practice due to severe pain in her leg, which she described as “hurt so bad that I was limping.” This incident exemplifies the physical and emotional toll that domestic violence can have on victims.
Jones stated that Worthy remained adamant about her moving out in the following hours, and when she attempted to discuss their living arrangements, he allegedly became violent once more, indicating the volatile nature of their relationship.
In her documentation, Jones noted that Worthy threw his keys at her, but missed, showing the extent of his anger during this confrontation.
“Before I could turn around,” she recounted, “Xavier hit me upside my head and pushed me to the ground.” This instance highlights the unpredictability and danger that often accompanies domestic violence situations.
Worthy then allegedly confiscated Jones’ phone, iPad, and laptop, escalating the situation into a more violent confrontation. This act of control is a common tactic used by abusers to isolate their victims and limit their ability to seek help.
Jones detailed how Worthy followed her into the game room, where he began tossing her around, choking her, and slamming her against surfaces. She recalled gripping the wall for support as he pulled her, emphasizing the physical strength he exerted during these violent episodes.
“I felt like I was going to die,” she added, emphasizing the terror and helplessness that victims often experience in such threatening situations.
Seconds later, Jones claimed that Worthy “grabbed the part of my throat that I swallow with, like he was trying to tear it out.” He then allegedly threw her to the ground and pressed his “right knee on my throat,” demonstrating the extreme violence and life-threatening nature of his actions.
“I couldn’t breathe,” she recounted. “It was on there for more than 10 seconds,” illustrating the severe physical danger and trauma that victims of domestic violence endure during such attacks.
Jones described that when the altercation finally ended, Worthy “locked me out and let my dog come out.” She waited in her car for the police
