Bo Jackson has won a $21 million verdict in his civil case against his niece and nephew for trying to extort him.
The lawsuit, filed in April, alleged that Jackson\'s relatives tried to extort $20 million from him through harassment and intimidation.
\"Unfortunately for those attempting to extort $20 million dollars from Jackson and his family, Bo still hits back hard,\" Jackson\'s attorneys -- Robert Ingram and David Conley -- said in a news release about the case.
Jackson, 61, claimed the harassment started in 2022 and included threatening social media posts and messages, public allegations that put him in a false light, and public disclosure of private information intended to cause him severe emotional distress.
