Derrick Ward’s ex-wife, Naomi Lee Allen, has two children with the former NFL player. The couple married in 2012 but divorced in 2018. Derrick’s abusive behavior prompted Naomi to file for divorce from the runner. Lee-Allen claimed that Derrick verbally and emotionally abused her during their relationship.
Ward began physically abusing Naomi in 2017, prompting Naomi to file a lawsuit. Naomi and Derrick have been keeping a low profile since their split, but the former NFL player is now accused of robbery. Ward was a seventh-round pick by the New York Jets in 2004. He won a Super Bowl with the Giants in 2007. Ward has been charged with robbing several businesses, but details have not been released.
Derrick Ward’s Wife: Is Ex-RB Still Married?
Derrick Ward’s ex-wife, Naomi Lee Allen-Ward, filed for divorce from the NFL player in 2018. Derrick’s abuse of her was the cause of their separation. Naomi filed a restraining order against the former Giants player in January 2018, claiming he abused her verbally, emotionally and physically. Naomi stated that Derrick abused her, even in front of their children.
Naomi and Derrick married in 2012, but already have a daughter named Jaida, who was born in 2010. Derrick and Naomi’s second child, a boy named Xavier, was born the same year they married. Derrick previously shared several photos of himself holding his baby boy on X (formerly Twitter). He also posted several photos of his daughter, Jaida, on his social media account. Not many people know that the NFL player’s ex-wife was also a singer. She was a member of the all-girl R&B group Electrik Red. She also appeared in the Oscar-winning film Dreamgirls in 2006.
During their time in the spotlight, the group released only one album, 2009’s How to Be a Lady: Volume 1. According to her Facebook page, Naomi is the CEO of marketing company Super Smart Social. Naomi graduated from the University of Toronto and produced two seasons of the MTV show G’s to Gents. Naomi hasn’t shared much information on her Facebook page, and rarely posts on social media.
Derrick Ward’s arrest and charges
Ward, a former Giants running back, was arrested in Los Angeles in connection with the business robberies. Derrick was arrested Monday night by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. NBC reported that the case has not been presented to prosecutors for consideration of criminal charges. Derrick is accused of robbing at least five businesses, including gas stations.
According to the latest reports, the runner did not use firearms during the robberies, but instead relied on force and fear. His bail was set at $250,000. Ward’s X bio says he works behind the scenes in Hollywood. But it doesn’t seem like his career went anywhere, as he decided to rob others. Derrick was once linked to Khloe Kardashian, but that seems to be a distant memory.
