Former ESPN media personality and NFL star Marcellus Wiley was arrested Saturday, July 4 on alleged domestic battery charges after an incident in Florida. Wiley was booked into the Orange County jail.
Records indicate that Wiley is currently being held without bond.
This isn't the first time Wiley has found himself in legal trouble. Earlier this year, the podcast host faced several sexual assault allegations, which he vehemently denied. In his response to the accusations, which he posted to his YouTube channel, Wiley said that he worried what his son would think when he searched Wiley's name.
"To me, it’s about my son’s name that he will one day Google and think that this is about him, but he’s gonna know it’s about his dad. And how dare you stain the brain of my child," said Wiley.
Wiley later posted to his X account that three prior cases had already been dismissed.
Details of the incident that led to Wiley's current circumstance are unknown.
After ten years in the NFL, Wiley worked for ESPN through 2018 as a host on the show "SportsNation." Afterwards, he moved to Fox Sports. Wiley was with FS1 through 2022 as host of the show "Speak for Yourself" alongside Jason Whitlock and eventually Emmanuel Acho.
