Ex-NFL Star’s Estranged Wife Charged Assault Charlotte Woman

Kelly Davis, the estranged wife of NFL star Thomas Davis, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault and battery after allegedly attacking chiropractor Laura Watterson at her office in Charlotte, North Carolina. The incident occurred on August 26, 2025, when Kelly confronted Watterson, whom she suspected of having an affair with her husband, and reportedly hit her multiple times, including knocking off her glasses. Kelly's attorney denies the allegations, calling them false and asserting they will be challenged in court. Kelly and Thomas Davis, who retired from the NFL in 2021 after a 15-season career, married in 2008 and separated in 2024; Kelly filed a civil case in 2025 alleging Thomas engaged in illicit conduct with multiple women during their marriage. The couple has two children, including their son Thomas Davis Jr., a promising football player committed to Notre Dame. The case is ongoing, with Kelly Davis maintaining she acted in self-defense during the confrontation.
