Xavier Worthy‘s fiancee made some shocking claims in her application for a protective order against the NFL star this week … including allegations he choked and beat her on several different occasions.
TMZ Sports just obtained the court filing … and in it, Tia Jones — who got engaged to Worthy in July 2024 — says the Kansas City Chiefs wideout violently put his hands on her at least five different times in the last year.
She stated in the documents the first incident took place in October 2024 — after the two had quarreled over comments Worthy’s mother had made to her. She claims that Xavier was so angry during the tiff, he “pushed [her] to the floor with both hands.” She stated he apologized shortly after.
Several weeks later, around Christmas time, Jones claims in the protective order application that Worthy picked her up, slammed her on a bed and began choking her after they “were arguing over him cheating. “
He knew of my abuse history in previous relationships, so I was horrified he would do it. I told him not to do it again. She claims that this only angered Worthy more… claiming he then charged her and threw a her to the ground. She claimed that when she returned later, they “ended up talking and he apologized” — but in the documents, she wrote it wasn’t long before he attacked her again. She claimed that when she returned later, the two “ended up speaking and he apologized,” but she noted in the documents it wasn’t very long before he attacked again. She said that they were in a dispute inside a closet of his Kansas City residence when he “got tired of what I had to say, grabbed my throat with his left hand and squeezed it, shook me, and threw my head back. “

She said that this was the most violent he had ever been. She said Worthy called her “a bitch” and he became angry. She claims she was only able to break free after pulling his hair.
She says Xavier then followed her and put his hands on her further.
“He grabs me by my throat, lifts me off the ground, and slams me on the floor,” she said. She claims she only managed to free herself after pulling his hair. She claimed Worthy calmed down, but she was forced to cancel the practice due to her leg being “so bad I was limping”. “
She says Worthy was adamant about her moving out in the hours that ensued … yet when she thought they were going to discuss future living arrangements, he allegedly snapped again.

“Before I could turn around,” she stated, “Xavier hit me upside my head, and pushed me to the ground. “
Worthy allegedly then took Jones’ iPad, computer, and phone… and became even more violent. “He carries to garage door. I remember him pulling me and making my feet rise off the floor. “
“I felt like I was going to die,” she added. “
