About this episode

The episode discusses Marcellus Wiley's recent legal troubles, including a domestic violence arrest and its implications for a 1994 sexual assault lawsuit.

In today's episode of Hollywood Podcast, we unpack the escalating legal battle surrounding ex-NFL star Marcellus Wiley . Following his recent domestic violence arrest, his wife, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Annemarie Wiley , filed for divorce and a restraining order. She alleged that he threatened to kill her during an altercation in a Florida hotel room and claimed he has been violent and sexually abusive multiple times throughout their relationship. Now, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Janine de Novais —a woman who sued Wiley in 2023 claiming he raped her in a Columbia University dorm room back in 1994—is using the details of his recent arrest in her own legal fight. Her legal team is actively leveraging Annemarie's claims and the recent no-contact order to compel Columbia University to hand over crucial documents for her ongoing case. Join us as we break down the latest updates from TMZ on these disturbing allegations, the compounding lawsuits, and Wiley's previous denial of the 1994 claims.
