Former Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus is accused of sexual harassment following an alleged incident on a team flight

Two women have filed a lawsuit against former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus, claiming he sexually harassed them on the team’s flight to a game in London last year.

The two women, whose names were not disclosed, filed the lawsuit in Duval County Civil Court on Friday evening. They are demanding more than a million dollars in damages.

The women were working as flight attendants on the Jaguars’ charter flight to London in September 2023 ahead of their game against the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium. The flight, the women claimed, “quickly turned into a party.”

According to the report, McManus and other players violated the flight attendants’ privacy, flight safety and federal law. McManus also allegedly recruited other flight attendants for the party and handed out $100 bills to get them to drink and dance for him.

The first woman, according to the lawsuit, said McManus tried to kiss her during turbulence while she was seated. He also allegedly rubbed himself against her twice while serving food and drinks. The second woman said McManus also rubbed himself against her during a meal service portion of the flight. She said she confronted McManus about it, but he “grinned and walked away.” The second woman said she stayed on the second floor of the plane on the team’s return flight to Jacksonville after the game to avoid him.

The two women also included the Jaguars in their lawsuit for allegedly failing to supervise McManus and create a safe environment for personnel on the plane. The charter flight was the first the two women had worked for the team, according to the report, and they said they experienced “severe mental anguish, anxiety, mental and emotional distress, embarrassment and humiliation.”

McManus began his career with the Denver Broncos, where he spent the first nine years of his career. Last season, he made 30 of 37 field goals and made all of his extra points with the Jaguars. Jacksonville did not re-sign McManus in the offseason, but he has since signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Washington Commanders.

Neither the Jaguars nor McManus have commented on the lawsuit, but McManus is expected to release a statement later Monday, according to the report.
