URGENT UPDATE: Kelly Davis, the estranged wife of former NFL superstar Thomas Davis, was arrested on September 3, 2023, following allegations of a violent attack on a woman perceived to be involved with her ex-husband. This shocking incident unfolded in a chiropractor’s office in Charlotte, N.C., on August 26, raising eyebrows and igniting public interest.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, chiropractor Laura Watterson claims Kelly assaulted her after suspecting a romantic connection with Thomas. The incident escalated when Kelly allegedly confronted Watterson while she was with another patient. Watterson describes the confrontation as chaotic, stating, “As I tried to guide her out the door of my office, she hit me and knocked my glasses off then hit me again on the other side of the head.”
A warrant for Kelly’s arrest was issued on August 29 based on these allegations. She now faces a charge of misdemeanor assault and battery. Despite the serious accusations, Kelly’s attorney, James J. Exum, maintains her innocence, asserting, “We believe completely in Kelly’s innocence and we look forward to challenging the false allegations once we have a court date.”
The couple, who married in March 2008, have been embroiled in a tumultuous separation. In a civil case filed in February 2025, Kelly revealed that the two split in March 2024 after Thomas allegedly engaged in “illicit sexual conduct with at least six women other than” her during their marriage.
This incident adds another layer of drama to the already complicated relationship, which has garnered significant media attention. The former All-Pro linebacker, known for his stellar 15-season career, primarily with the Carolina Panthers, has two children with Kelly, including Thomas Davis Jr., a promising four-star linebacker committed to play for Notre Dame next season.
As this story continues to develop, the implications of the allegations and the ongoing legal proceedings will likely hold the interest of fans, followers, and the public alike. Updates are expected as Kelly prepares to contest the accusations in court.
Stay tuned for the latest developments in this gripping legal saga involving a former NFL star and his estranged wife.
