Roberto Orci Accused of Domestic Abuse by Wife

Roberto Orci, known for his work on 'Star Trek' and 'Transformers', faces serious allegations from his estranged wife, actress Adele Heather Taylor, who accuses him of physical and sexual abuse in a countersuit. Taylor claims that Orci, described as an alcoholic with bipolar disorder, subjected her to repeated assaults, including being pinned down and threatened with rape in May and June 2022. The lawsuit details instances of emotional and verbal abuse, with Taylor alleging that Orci belittled her and manipulated the legal system to instill fear. Following a recorded altercation in December 2022, where Orci reportedly stated, 'I can do whatever the f-k I want,' Taylor left him and filed her countersuit in response to Orci's previous lawsuit against her. Orci has denied the allegations and is preparing for litigation. The couple's history of abuse dates back to 2018, with Taylor claiming Orci used police incidents to maintain control over her.
