On April 22nd, Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall was hospitalized with stab wounds. The following day, his wife was placed under arrest and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Marshall’s wife was arrested again in June for violating a protective order.
The two-time Pro Bowl receiver has remained silent about the incident, but tells Omar Kelly of the Sun-Sentinel that he wasn’t stabbed.
“I can’t talk about the details of the incident because it’s still an open case, but I did talk to the state attorney’s office last month and the one thing I made clear was my wife did not stab me. She didn’t assault me. We were having a marital dispute that got heated, but it didn’t happen as reported,” Marshall said.
“Like any young couple we have issues and hope to work through it. But it’s hard to pick up the pieces and try to move forward with the distance that the situation has created. I’m hopeful that we can move forward because I love my wife.”
