Wife of released Buccaneers receiver Deven Thompkins accuses him of abuse
NY Post
The wife of recently released Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Deven Thompkins accused him of physical abuse in a TikTok video.
Maria Castilhos initially posted a video on May 23 featuring photos of her alleged injuries, and this week stated in a since-deleted 8 1/2-minute video that the couple, who have two children and had been together since high school, were going through a divorce case.
“I’m not going to be talking about mine and Deven’s divorce or child custody-related things, because we have an ongoing court case, so I can’t mention any of that,” Castilhos said in the video, according to the Tampa Bay Times. ” … This is strictly going to be the abuse that I’ve had to endure all these years with proof, because I’m being called a liar.”
The photos in the May 23 video show injuries to Castilhos’ face, elbow and wrist.
The first photo shows her hand with a wedding ring and the caption, “But you were an NFL wife, how can you walk away from that life?”
Over the photo of her face bruised, she wrote, “…he would’ve killed me.”
