Terrell Owens is unfazed by a lawyer’s humiliating response to his ongoing demands for justice for Nolan Wells. Owens has been outspoken about the need for accountability in the tragic passing of the 18-year-old since July. Wells’ body was found on the shore of Horn Island two days after h e disappeared following Independence Day festivities with friends in the area.

The athlete was doing a meet and greet at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s 2026 Homecoming when a man walked up and handed Owens a stack of papers bound by a binder clip. ‘Don’t Threaten Us’: Terrell Owens Demanded Answers for Nolan Wells’ Family, Now a Lawyer Wants to Make Him Pay for It Terrell Owens Exposes Longtime Manager for Allegedly Boosting Her Salary and Taking Money Behind His Back Owens glanced down at the documents, then set them on a nearby table. The server never stopped his stride and was already several feet from Owens by the time he realized he was holding legal paperwork. The lawsuit was filed on Oct. 5 after Owens reposted a video from “The Trent Out Loud Show.” The controversial clip called for Wells’ friends Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour to be arrested. Trent harped on claims the teens erased content from Wells’ phone, presumably after the teen had already passed. Owens tweeted, “ARREST THEM IMMEDIATELY!! LIKE YESTERDAY!!” setting off a firestorm of reactions, including the lawsuit. The teens are represented by attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik. Paltzik reveled in the homecoming disruption on X, saying that his servers “finally caught up” with Owens in the “place he least expected.” “As TO waited to sign autographs and bask in the adulation of his fans at an intimate meet-and-greet in the Mocs Bookstore, he was instead handed a copy of our powerhouse federal defamation suit. No autograph required. Luck always runs out,” the attorney tweeted. “Even sunglasses couldn’t hide TO’s disgust,” the boast continued. Video of this important leap forward in our historic defamation dragnet will be available tomorrow at @Unshakablewapr with our unshakeable friend April Chapman, and posted right here as we continue to play Backtrack City’s Greatest Hits.” The six-time Pro Bowl football player retweeted the post with the following message: “Hey Edward. Not worried. God is good.” Social media users erupted as the seconds-long clip of Owens being served and Paltzik’s showboating was circulated. A fan asked, “Why are they harassing you?” while a heckler commented, “You about ready to enter the FO stage of FAFO!” “That attorney is an idiot for posting this online. That may have saved you a lot of money,” a third person wrote. A fourth user wondered, “If you were not worried then why did you avoid service for so long?” In an Oct. 30 tweet, the attorney tweeted a screenshot of Owen’s “arrest them immediately” post with a caption claiming the superstar was “evading process servers.” Owens, however, has since doubled down on his justice crusade. After being served, he reposted a video from Danny F. Collins reminding everyone “it’s still justice for Nolan Wells.” ABS has reached out to Owens team for a statement. Hey Edward. Not worried.
