Arian Foster suing Brittany Norwood for extortion

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster is suing Brittany Norwood, the woman who claims to be pregnant with his son for extortion. Following the release of text messages from Foster’s brother and an audio conversation where Norwood states that Foster never told her to get an abortion, TMZ is reporting that Foster has filed for extortion. Some of the claims made in the suit:

“Norwood has engaged in a calculated scheme to exort Foster and a campaign to impugn the character and reputation of [Arian] with the intent to extort monies from him.”

Foster is asking the judge for unspecified damages — and he wants Brittany to pay his legal costs.

Brittany and her lawyer stand by her original statement, claiming that Norwood was just trying to “calm the waters between her and Foster.”

Settlement talks between the two recently fell apart.
