Allegations from a family dispute
The boxer’s personal life faced public scrutiny when his brother, Marsellos Wilder, posted accusations online. The post appeared on Valentine’s Day 2024.
Marsellos alleged he had caught Wilder with two previous partners. He also claimed Wilder had been intimate with his then long-term girlfriend.
Claims and response
Marsellos said he lost his role as Deontay’s personal assistant amid those issues. He included voice notes and criticised his brother’s conduct.
The post accused Wilder of using boxing earnings to fund affairs. Fans responded strongly in the comments.
None of the claims have been independently proven. Wilder has not publicly addressed the accusations in detail.
