Marcellus Wiley is back in the news for all the wrong reasons.
The former Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars superstar is facing more accusations of rape. This time, it comes from two women who are accusing him of sexual assault in separate incidents from all the way back in 1994.
At the time, Wiley was playing football as a linebacker and defensive end for Columbia University. The incidents allegedly took place in his dorm room.
According to the NY Post, the first accuser claims she was pressured to sleep with Wiley after accepting an invite to his dorm room on October 27, 1994. The lawsuit claims the woman, who is identified as Jane Doe, “repeatedly” told Wiley to stop, but he told her she was “too uptight and needed to relax.” Wiley then apparently turned up the stereo and aggressively moved in on her.
Via the New York Post:
“Wiley then swung [her] legs on the bed, lunged towards her and overpowered [her],” holding her down as he whispered to her “to relax, enjoy it, stop crying, and stop fighting the feeling,” she claimed in the filing.
The woman claims she tried filing a report with a Columbia University administrator, but was urged not to follow through with it because she “would be known as the girl who destroyed a black man’s NFL dream.”
As for the second accuser, she claims that the incident involving her took place about one month later. It also took place in Wiley’s dorm room, although few further details have been released.
This Is Not The First Time Wiley’s Been Accused Of Rape
Sadly, this is nothing new for Wiley, who was previously accused of sexual assault by another Columbia student. That lawsuit was filed back in 2023, with the incident also taking place in 1994.
That victim claims Wiley took her virginity while raping her in his dorm room. She revealed that the incident caused severe trauma, causing her severe emotional distress to the point where she attempted to take her own life.
Wiley denied those allegations, calling them “B.S.” at the time. He has yet to issue a statement regarding the latest disturbing claims against him.
Marcellus is currently married to his wife and former ‘Real Housewives of Beverley Hills” star Annemarie. The couple share a son and two daughters, while also caring for Marcellus’ daughter from a previous relationship.
