Davis, 34, was accused of assaulting a women on Oct. 27 at Tootsie's Cabaret, a strip club in Miami Gardens where she is a VIP cocktail waitress, according to the complaint filed with the 11th Judicial Circuit Court in Miami-Dade County. According to the complaint, Davis choked, grabbed, pulled, pushed and hit her in the back of the head.
The incident began at approximately 4:15 a.m., when Davis located the woman inside Tootsie's in an upstairs VIP lounge, where Davis forcibly grabbed and dragged her through a stairway, through the kitchen, and through the back entrance all the way into the parking garage, according to the complaint. At that point, according to the complaint, Davis continuously grabbed, choked, pushed, pulled, and struck her in the back of the head, leaving her terrified and alone and embarrassed for her co-workers and employer, according to the complaint.
On Monday, USA TODAY Sports reported Davis had been hit with a temporary restraining order by the alleged victim.
A court hearing has been set for Nov. 12 to rule on a permanent restraining order, which is referred to as an injunction. The Miami Gardens Police Department is also investigating the matter, and on Monday morning, it remained an “active case,’’ according to the records department.
In the aftermath of the cancellation, Paul issued a heated statement expressing his frustration toward Davis (via X):
