The scorned wife of former NFL linebacker Thomas Davis, Kelly Davis, was arrested last week for attacking her husband’s alleged secret side piece while at her office. In a scene from a Tyler Perry movie, Kelly Davis was escorted from the building after putting hands on her husband’s adulterous partner.
A Charlotte-based chiropractor named Laura Watterson is the woman who was allegedly having an affair with Davis. She claimed in court documents that Kelly struck her multiple times on Aug. 26, after suspecting Watterson to be involved in an illicit affair with Thomas, a former All-Pro for the Carolina Panthers (2005–2018), Los Angeles Chargers (2019), and the Washington Commanders (2020).
On August 29 an arrest warrant was issued for Kelly and she was taken into custody according to TMZ.
Kelly Admits To ‘Striking’ Husband’s Alleged Mistress Laura Watterson
Kelly hasn’t denied getting physical with Watterson at the chiropractor’s office, but she’s claiming self-defense. Davis’ estranged wife claims the chiropractor grabbed her arm and dug her nails in, which instigated the physical retaliation by Davis. That will be settled as the legalities are ironed out. In the meantime, Kelly has been charged with one count of misdemeanor assault and battery.
Kelly admits to TMZ that she was in a fit of rage and even as she was being escorted out of the office she hit Watterson again. Kelly then stated that her fight with Watterson was not over, implying that Watterson is a homewrecker, standing in the way of reconciliation between her and her husband. These kinds of nasty love triangles are common in the world of celebrity athletes.
Kelly’s attorney, James J Exum, proclaimed his client’s innocence in the matter and told reporters ‘we look forward to challenging the false allegations once we have a court date.’
