Speaking out: Speaking after practice this weekend, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insisted the racy pictures of him with two women were taken five years ago

The man who published the photos, which appeared on websites including TMZ, claimed they were taken by someone else to extort Jones, who is worth an estimated $2.7 billion.

Shortly after the pictures surfaced, the two women who are seen posing with Jones insisted they were so drunk on the night in question that they can remember very little.

On Sunday, Jones, who had previously refused to publicly comment on the images, also refused to shed more light on the situation.

'I don’t want to comment on it anymore, but I have known about it for five years,' he said, the Star-Telegram reported.

Previous reports by TMZ, claimed that the strippers - Lindzie and Jordan - contacted their lawyers out of fear that the married billionaire would go after them in court.

'There was a lot of alcohol involved,' the women said, denying that they had anything to do with leaking the photos or being a part of an extortion plot against Jones.

The photos show Jones grabbing one blonde woman's breasts some five years ago. In another shot, a brunette woman on her knees grins as she leans her head against the man's pelvic area.

Jones appears to be in a restroom with both women in the two pictures.

Despite their poses, the women told TMZ that a third friend snapped the pictures and that neither of them had noticed photos were being taken.

The women deny that they wanted the pictures to go public.
