Platform: INSTAGRAM Author: @theybf_daily --- Caption/Description --- Marcellus Wiley has a lot going on these days. A judge has ordered the former NFL defensive end and sports commentator to pay $549,429.82 to Preferred Bank, which is the full amount of a $500K loan he took out in May 2023, plus interest, attorney fees and late charges. The bank sued him back in December after he promised to repay the loan within a year and never did, TMZ reports according to new court docs. This financial hit comes after he was slapped with a restraining order after he was arrested on domestic violence charges in Florida on July 4th. His wife — former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Annemarie Wiley — swiftly filed for divorce. She alleged he physically, sexually, verbally and emotionally abused her, including claims he raped her in 2012 and punched her in the face in 2014 leaving her with a black eye. Marcellus was ordered to vacate the family’s Encino home and has no visitation with their three children at this time. --- On-Screen Text (OCR) --- THE YBF DAILY A JUDGE HAS ORDERED MARCELLUS WILEY TO PAY OVER $549K TO A BANK FOR A LOAN HE TOOK OUT IN 2023 & NEVER REPAID SOURCE PLATFORM: unclear Published: 2026-07-10T17:27:33.000Z ---VERIFICATION_SUMMARY--- Platform: INSTAGRAM Author: @theybf_daily --- HOW TO VERIFY THIS (provenance-first) --- 1.
