The plot thickens.

With Ezekiel Elliott officially filing his appeal of his six-game suspension on Tuesday, the Cowboys running back and the NFL appear ready to go to war. Since the suspension was announced last Friday, there have been several new reports appearing to poke holes in the accuser’s story.

The latest development, reported by Yahoo!’s Charles Robinson early Wednesday , highlights a section of the 160-page report turned in by NFL investigators detailing their findings. In the report, there is mention of a text message conversation between the accuser, Tiffany Thompson, and her friend, in which Thompson proposes the idea of using sex videos she has of her and Elliott as blackmail.

Thompson also admitted to investigators she registered an email address titled “ezekielelliott sex vids” a month prior to the conversation.

The appendix of the report contained exhibits of evidence for use in the NFL’s case. Included was the actual text conversation that took place on September 21, 2016, which Robinson pulled for his article.

WARNING: NSFW Language

[Thompson]: What if I sold mine and Ezekiel’s sex videos

[Friend]: We’d all be millionaires

[Friend]: We could black mail him w that

[Thompson]: I want to bro

[Friend]: Let’s do it

[Thompson]: Scared

[Friend]: Shit

[Friend]: Id be like look give me 10k or I’ll just sell our sex videos for the same amount flat

[Friend]: Me and my friends tryna go on vacation and get boob jobs

(the report notes a pair of blank texts)

[Thompson]: 10k Bitch I want 20k

[Thompson]: Go big or go home

[Friend]: That’s fine too

[Friend]: Like what

This report follows an article by Clarence Hill Jr. from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Monday which cites documents in which Thompson threatened to ruin Elliott’s life, saying things like “you are a black male athlete. I’m a white girl. They are not going to believe you.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport also reported Monday that Elliott filed a harassment report against Thompson on September 5, 2016 for calling him “50-plus” times between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m..

With an appeal date expected to be set within the next 10 business days, it remains to be seen how these new reports will effect the court’s decision to reduce or remove Elliott’s six-game suspension. The NFL is set to name the arbitrator for the appeal hearing soon.

One thing is certain though: for as bad as these reports are making his accuser look, they are making the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell look a whole lot worse.
