Monday, September 8, 2025 - Kelly Davis, the estranged wife of former NFL star Thomas Davis, has been arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina, over allegations that she assaulted a woman she believed was romantically involved with her husband.
According to court documents, chiropractor Laura Watterson accused Kelly
of confronting her at her office on August 26, shouting accusations before
allegedly striking her multiple times. Watterson claimed that Kelly hit her in
the chest in front of a patient and, when asked to leave, knocked off her
glasses and struck her again on the side of the head.
A warrant was issued on August 29, and jail records confirm Kelly was
taken into custody on September 3. She has been charged with one count of
misdemeanor assault and battery.
Kelly’s attorney, James J. Exum, has denied the allegations, calling them
“false” and stating, “We believe completely in Kelly’s innocence and we look
forward to challenging the false allegations once we have a court date.”
Court filings show Kelly and Thomas Davis married in 2008 but separated in
March 2024. In her civil case, Kelly alleged that the former linebacker engaged
in “illicit sexual conduct with at least six women” during their marriage.
Thomas Davis, a first-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, played 13 seasons
with the Carolina Panthers, earning three Pro Bowl selections and recording
more than 1,000 tackles before stints with the Los Angeles Chargers and
Washington Commanders. He and Kelly share two children, including Thomas Davis
Jr., a four-star linebacker committed to play for Notre Dame.
