Ex-NFL Star Marcellus Wiley Arrested for Domestic Violence

Former NFL star Marcellus Wiley was arrested for domestic violence after his wife Annemarie alleged he threatened to kill her and poked her in the cheek. The incident occurred at a hotel in Orlando, Florida, over the Fourth of July weekend.

According to the police affidavit, Annemarie told officers that Wiley stood over her while she sat on the bed and intentionally poked her in the cheek with one finger in front of their 7-year-old daughter. She also stated she plans to divorce Wiley and claimed he has a history of unreported violence against her.

The couple's three children and other kids attending a basketball tournament were present in the hotel room. Annemarie called police because she feared for her life after Wiley's death threats.

Wiley denied the allegations, telling police there was no physical altercation and he never touched his wife. He showed officers text messages where they exchanged cordial messages. However, based on Annemarie's written statement, police found probable cause for arrest.

Later, Wiley wrote on social media that he is grateful for support and completely denies the allegations, expressing confidence that the truth will prevail. Annemarie is known for appearing on Season 13 of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' after which she was let go.

The case has drawn public attention due to the former athlete's and reality TV star's profiles. Media will follow developments, including potential court proceedings.
