Buccaneers football players wife claims she was attacked and abused by her husband
Deven Thompkins the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star return man was cut recently which was a shocker. The wide receiver was waived with an injury designation, but now it is being reported, there could be more to the story.
His wife posted a video on her social media page making allegations of domestic violence. Maria Castilhos posted a video on May 23rd, containing a series of photos picturing bruises on her face, elbow, and wrist. In the video, she wrote that she’s walking away from her marriage because, “he would’ve killed me.”
His wife then posted another video with the caption “You should be afraid, the NFL will interrogate you. He wants an apology video posted within 24 hours so he won’t sue you for defamation of character.” Both videos gained over 1.5 million views.
Castilhos detailed the alleged abuse in a third video over eight minutes in length. She opens the video stating that she won’t be speaking about the ongoing custody battle and divorce. The video contains screenshots of her conversations with Thompkins’ family and additional photos of injuries from the alleged abuse.
The videos are pretty detailed. We always say a person is innocent until proven guilty, but this could get ugly.
