How we got here
The warrant stems from an alleged incident on October 27 at famed Miami strip club, Tootsies. Police claim that Davis confronted his ex-girlfriend. and orcibly took her into a back room, grabbed her by the hair and throat, and restrained her. She was working as a VIP cocktail waitress at the time of the incident.
The woman, identified as Courtney Rossel, told police she met Davis in 2022. They briefly dated in 2025 before she ended the relationship and cutting off contact. She later filed both a police report and a civil lawsuit against Davis.
“What the police said lines up exactly with our lawsuit,” her attorney, Jeff Chukwuma, previously told ESPN. Chukwuma noted that a judge approved the arrest warrant after reviewing the evidence.
As the case moves forward, Davis has been ordered by a Miami judge to have no contact with Rossel. His legal team has strongly denied the allegations.
