Michael Irvin withdrew his lawsuit against Marriott Hotels on Monday, court documents show, but his case may still be moving forward.

[Marriott's attorneys wrote](https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/judge-orders-video-of-michael-irvin-hotel-encounter-to-be-released/3211989/) in a motion that Irvin "made unwelcome sexual advances against a female employee" who reported the behavior to her employer. Irvin was then “shockingly woken up by a crew of security” and removed from the hotel “without any explanation or questions,” the lawsuit said. Irvin also said the video provided him some relief because he was concerned about the serious nature of the allegation while having no recollection of any such encounter taking place. McCathern also played a video Tuesday obtained from the hotel that he said showed Irvin interacting with an employee for less than two minutes in an open area outside the bar. McCathern said the lawsuit again includes Marriott Hotels but adds the company that runs the hotel in Phoenix, Renaissance Hotel Operating, along with three named individuals and the complainant identified as "Jane Doe." Irvin's attorney said Tuesday they voluntarily dismissed the Collin County lawsuit without prejudice on Monday and immediately refiled the case in Arizona.

Michael Irvin needs serious history lesson when discussing Marriott ... (USA TODAY)

Hall of Famer Michael Irvin compared misconduct allegations against him to being lynched. This comparison is ugly and also historically wrong.

More recently, as the NAACP points out, in Texas in 1998, James Byrd was chained to a car by three white supremacists and dragged to his death. Two white men beat Till, who was 14-years-old, nearly to death, gouged out his eye, shot him in the head, and threw his body into a river with a 75-pound cotton gin fan attached with barbed wire. Irvin's statement about lynching is so offensive because it's a slap in the face to the thousands of Black people who've been lynched in this country. If he's lying, he's still not a victim of lynching. If he's telling the truth, he's still not a victim of lynching. Irvin was accused of improper behavior by a woman employee inside a Marriott hotel lobby during Super Bowl week.
