Adrian Wilson’s attempt to kill himself and choke his wife

Wilson had a heated argument with his wife, Alicia, at around 5 AM on June 1. As per TMZ, he told police that he threatened to kill himself. The five-time Pro Bowler added that he also broke some stuff in his home. 

It all began when Alicia found out about Wilson’s affair. She filed for legal separation from the former NFL star. She had left the guest house where Wilson was staying. Wilson went out of control moments after confronting her in the bedroom. Alicia claimed that he threw multiple objects in the room. 

After breaking a lamp and an incense folder, Wilson grabbed his wife by the neck. He tried to choke Alicia while calling her a liar, b***ch, and a w***e. His wife told the cops that the athlete pulled out a gun from the safe. TMZ reported that when Alicia told him the kids were home, Wilson responded, “F*** those kids.”
