Jerry Jones seen at Miami hotspot amid Little Rock photo controversy

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, embroiled in controversy after a photo emerged of him at a pro-segregation rally 65 years ago, was spotted looking carefree in Miami during the city’s Art Week.

Jones, 80, has been in the headlines since last week when The Washington Post unearthed a snap of him at 14, standing in the back of a group of white students at North Little Rock High in Arkansas in 1957 as the mob tries to block black students from entering.

WaPo ran it as part of a larger article on Jones’ failure to hire a black head coach years later.

He told the broadsheet he was there as a spectator, not a participant, saying, “I don’t know that I or anybody anticipated or had a background of knowing . . . what was involved. It was more a curious thing.”

On Wednesday, said a spy, Jones was spotted at Miami hot spot Prime 112 with family, including wife Gene, daughter Charlotte, grandkids and more.

“The whole family was laughing and smiling throughout the dinner,” said the spy, who noted the group had “wine, champagne and caviar.” The source went on to add that many fans asked for pictures as he exited.

He was also seen chatting in passing with “Transformers” director Michael Bay, at the eatery. “Jones and Michael were in front of the restaurant talking about . . . film and football,” the spy said.

Jones has been making the media rounds to discuss the picture, saying, “I respect the people that were involved that were trying to, make their, if you will, change things. And I have a lot of respect for that.”
