Woman files lawsuit claiming Gary Payton assaulted her

Gary Payton

A woman who says she was Gary Payton’s date at an awards event in Seattle in January is now suing the former Seattle SuperSonics star over claims of assault.

The woman, Trishtan Williams, says she was Payton’s date to the Jan. event and has hired attorney Gloria Allred for the suit. In her lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ, Williams accuses Payton of assaulting her three times: once at a bar, again in a car, and lastly once inside a hotel room.

Payton’s agent Aaron Goodwin says the case is a cash grab by Williams, who he claims has changed her story multiple times and has no signs of “physical evidence to substantiate these claims.”

“Unfortunately, with the climate of claims against athletes for monetary gains, Mr. Payton is just another victim and will fight this frivolous lawsuit,” Goodwin said to TMZ.
