Bo Jackson Wins $21M in Civil Extortion Case

A court awarded the former athlete $21 million after his niece and nephew attempted to extort him through harassment and intimidation.

Bo Jackson was awarded $21 million in a civil case against his niece and nephew for attempted extortion and stalking.
The lawsuit, filed in April, alleged the Andersons tried to extort $20 million from Jackson through harassment and intimidation.
A permanent protective order now prohibits the Andersons from contacting Jackson or coming within 500 yards of him and his family.
The harassment, which began in 2022, included threatening social media posts and the public disclosure of private information.
The court found the Andersons' behavior extreme and outrageous, accepting all of Jackson's allegations as true.
