Report: Cowboys paid $2.4M over ex-PR chief's alleged cheerleader voyeurism
The Cowboys paid a confidential $2.4 million settlement in May 2016 in response to four cheerleaders allegations that Rich Dalrymple, the teams longtime public relations chief who recently retired, filmed them as they changed clothing inside a locker room before a 2015 event in Arlington, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Two separate voyeurism allegations, one involving the cheerleaders and the other a Cowboys senior executive, are included in the report. Dalrymple, who spent 32 years with the franchise, declined both accusations in a statement.
Dalrymple announced his retirement on Feb. 2 as senior vice president of public relations and communications. Sources confirmed to The News the settlement was reached.
People who know me, co-workers, the media and colleagues, know who I am and what Im about, Dalrymple said in his statement to ESPN. I understand the very serious nature of these claims and do not take them lightly. The accusations are, however, false. One was accidental and the other simply did not happen. Everything that was alleged was thoroughly investigated years ago, and I cooperated fully.
