Moriah Mills Enlists Tony Buzbee Amid Potential Zion Williamson Lawsuit
Let’s cut right to it: adult entertainer and social media personality Moriah Mills has officially tapped powerhouse litigator Tony Buzbee as she weighs legal action against New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson. According to TMZ, Mills’ legal team fired off a retainer agreement to Buzbee’s office late last week, marking the first concrete step toward a possible civil suit. Sources tell Page Six that Mills alleges Williamson breached an oral contract related to a private appearance and promotional campaign.
Mills, whose Instagram follower count regularly soars past two million, first hinted at trouble in mid-May when she posted a cryptic message about “unpaid promises” tied to an unnamed athlete. Insiders confirm the post was referring to Williamson, who Mills claims agreed to a series of paid appearances and endorsements that never came through. A representative for Williamson told ESPN the star “categorically denies any wrongful conduct” and that no formal claims have been received at this time.
Tony Buzbee, the Houston-based attorney who made headlines representing defamation clients in high-profile cases, is no stranger to courtroom fireworks. He successfully secured a multi-million dollar settlement for a former athlete who alleged misconduct by an NFL alum, and he famously took on a major media conglomerate over alleged rights violations. By bringing Buzbee aboard, Mills signals she’s prepared to pursue aggressive remedies—whether that means negotiating a private settlement or heading straight to litigation.
Legal analysts note that oral agreements can be much harder to prove than written contracts, especially when large sums are at stake. Still, Mills’ team insists they have text messages, voice recordings and witness statements that underscore Williamson’s commitment to the deal. Court documents obtained by Law & Crime indicate Buzbee has already filed preliminary notices in Louisiana state court, a strategic move that could lock in jurisdiction before any deadlines expire.
Williamson’s camp is reportedly reviewing those filings and mulling a preemptive response, with some advisors pushing for arbitration rather than open court to keep details under wraps. For her part, Mills has remained publicly quiet, opting to let her attorney handle all communication. But legal insiders say her public posture could shift if Buzbee decides to ratchet up the pressure with depositions or a high-profile press conference.
As we watch this potential showdown between a social media star and an NBA phenom unfold, one thing’s clear: hiring Buzbee is a power move that ups the ante. Will Mills parlay her digital fame into courtroom success, or will Williamson’s defense team slam the door on her claims? Keep your eyes peeled—this story is far from over. And there you have it. Make of that what you will.
