Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley issued a detailed statement on X on July 8, 2026, following rape allegations made by his wife, Annemarie, who also filed for divorce. Wiley emphasized his commitment to protecting their children and maintaining their relationship with both parents. He denied the accusations, accusing Annemarie of lying and blaming her for the collapse of their marriage.

Wiley stated he has been compelled to respond with evidence rather than emotion due to the public nature of the allegations. He claimed to possess "videos, photographs, text messages, emails, and other evidence" to support his position.

Annemarie’s allegations come just months after four other women accused Wiley of sexual assault in April 2026, including a former ESPN production assistant, according to Rolling Stone.

Photographs show Annemarie and Marcellus Wiley attending public events together in California in 2024 and 2025, including a basketball game at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and The Pump Group VIP Summer Soiree at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
