Marcellus Wiley Denies Rape and Domestic Violence Allegations Amid Legal Battle
Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley has publicly denied all rape and domestic‑violence accusations made by his estranged wife, former *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* star Annemarie Wiley. In filings submitted in July, he asserted he “never forced, coerced, or sexually assaulted” his wife and said the claims are false. Wiley also posted statements to X, saying he expects the truth to prevail and that his focus remains on protecting his children.
Court documents reveal that Wiley was arrested on July 4 after deputies responded to a battery call and alleged the incident occurred in front of his children. He described the arrest as “humiliating” and “heartbreaking,” noting he was released the next day on a $1,000 bond. Annemarie Wiley filed for divorce and sought a domestic‑violence restraining order, alleging a pattern of abuse dating back to 2012. Wiley’s legal declarations contest these allegations and emphasize his innocence.
The case also references prior accusations of sexual assault against Wiley from the 1990s, which he has similarly denied.
