INDIANAPOLIS -- Steelers safety Sean Davis is the target of a lawsuit filed by the family of a teen that alleges Davis mocked the Chick-fil-A worker on social media while he waited at a drive-thru in the Pittsburgh suburb of Cranberry.
The complaint alleges the teen was the subject of ridicule at school after Davis, who just completed his second season with the Steelers, complained on Snapchat about slow service.
"Chick-fil-A got little kids," Davis said in the Snapchat video. "This kid like 8 years old. No wonder the lines be so long at Chick-fil-A."
MBK Sports Management, which represents Davis, released a statement defending its client.
"We remain confident that when the truth is revealed, Mr. Davis will exonerated completely from these frivolous allegations," wrote MKB CEO and agent Eugene Lee.
"Sean Davis is an exceptional young man of strong character, integrity and faith. We stand behind him and fully support him in the midst of these baseless claims."

The lawsuit includes claims for libel, cyberbullying, intentional infliction of emotional distress and slander and calls Davis' actions "extreme and outrageous" and "intentional and/or reckless."
According to Lee, Davis offered to bring the teen to training camp and take him to Davis' annual football camp in Washington, D.C. but the offer was declined.
