Annemarie Wiley, the estranged wife of former NFL star Marcellus Wiley, just scored a major legal victory amid their nasty court battle.
NFL Star's Estranged Ex-Wife Granted Restraining Order After Court Battle
Marcellus Wiley's Wife Granted Protective Order & Full Custody
According to court documents obtained by the California Post, Wiley is being ordered to stay 100 yards (also known as the full length of a football field) away from her. As well as their children. The only exception will be when he is allowed to have supervised visits.
The former ESPN analyst was arrested back in July on domestic battery charges. Annemarie claimed that Marcellus poked her in the cheek. And threatened to kill her during a heated argument in their hotel room over the 4th of July weekend.
It was after that incident that she ultimately decided to file for divorce from the former star pass rusher. She further alleged that Wiley had continually intimidated her during their years of marriage.
After presenting her evidence, a court official concluded that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star had "met the burden of proof. By a preponderance of the evidence.
Following their decision, Marcellus released a statement and expressed his gratitude for the court's decision.
"I'm grateful for the court's decision and welcome the opportunity for our family to finally begin healing after an incredibly difficult and trying time," Wiley said of the ruling in a statement to The Post on Thursday. "From the beginning, my fight has been about being present in my children's lives, loving them, supporting them, and being their father every day.
He also added:
"I'm thankful I get to return to that role. Annemarie deserves the space to protect her peace, our children deserve the love and presence of both parents, and our family deserves the opportunity to move forward without conflict defining us. My hope now is simple: healing, peace, and getting our family back to a place where love leads the way."
