The former partner of Omari Palmer, also known as former WWE wrestler Odyssey Jones, has alleged he engaged in physical abuse against her. Her allegations are outlined in a police report from last year obtained by POST Wrestling and further elaborated on during an interview with us, in which she alleged other incidents of abuse.
POST Wrestling agreed to withhold the name of Palmer’s ex-partner at her request because she is not a public figure and has shared sensitive information regarding alleged incidents of violence.
A police report filed on May 23, 2024, received from the Maitland Police Department, records the ex-partner’s allegations of battery, which allegedly occurred on May 17, 2024. According to the report, she told officers that Palmer became “extremely angry” after discovering text messages she had sent to another man. She alleged that he threw items, grabbed her, and slammed her to the floor twice.
Photos of bruises on her shoulders and both legs, which she claimed were caused by Palmer, were documented by police as part of the report. However, Palmer denied the allegations of battery in the same report. The police report indicates he stated that he became upset and threw objects around the apartment, but denied throwing objects at her. He said neither of them became physical during the incident.
“He got upset over me texting someone and started throwing me around along with household items and my personal belongings,” the ex-partner told POST.
Palmer was contacted and declined to provide comments for this story.
“I respectfully request that charges be filled [sic] on [Palmer] for battery, one count,” the reporting officer, Willington Camargo wrote toward the end of his narrative.
The Orange County State Attorney’s Office confirmed on Wednesday to POST that the case is still under review, with no decision yet on whether to formally press charges. The case is assigned to Kristina Mills, who is the Bureau Chief of Domestic Violence & Human Trafficking for the State Attorney’s Office, according to a LinkedIn profile that appears to be hers.
The ex-partner also alleges that additional incidents of abuse occurred during a Caribbean cruise shortly after the May 17 altercation. Despite the alleged incident at Palmer’s apartment, the pair still went on the trip as planned.
She alleged that he threatened to break her phones before leaving and insisted that she wasn’t going anywhere because the trip was already planned out. Palmer’s ex-partner told POST. “I told him I saw where this was going and I was going to leave because things were not going to go good on the cruise. It was repeated behavior so I saw it coming. He told me to sit my ass down and calm down, that we were leaving the following morning for the trip.”
Once on the cruise, she alleges the abuse continued and that Palmer caused her to suffer a concussion, destroyed their cabin, and threw one of her phones into the sea.
She alleged that Palmer “bashed me against the walls in the cabin a few times because I was leaving the room. I had bruises all over my body.”
Palmer filed a petition for an order of protection against his ex-partner in September, in the days after
he was reportedly released from WWE. His filings present a different account of the cruise, alleging that his ex-partner became physically violent during the cruise, accusing him of inappropriate interactions with another woman. “She became increasingly more irate and started punching, slapping, and kicking me,” Palmer wrote in his petition. “I attempted to defend myself from her attack by hugging her arms to her side.”
Palmer’s petition included a claim that he filed a police report with the Maitland Police Department, alleging stalking against her. However, the department informed POST that no record of such a report exists. The only police report on file involving either party is the ex-partner’s May 2024 battery allegation.
Palmer’s filings claimed his ex-partner subjected him to physical violence, threats, and harassment, which caused him to fear for his safety. He also alleged his ex-partner attacked him at a hotel in December 2023. The court granted the protective order, which was recently extended through January 2028, without making a determination of fault in the underlying allegations.
His ex-partner denies his claims of violence, harassment, and threats, and said she believes Palmer was granted the protective order partly because she lacked legal representation in Florida, as she doesn’t live in the state.
“Omari twisted the story to benefit him and told his lawyer a bunch of lies which clearly were not backed up by evidence,” Palmer’s ex-partner told POST, alleging he manipulated the situation.
Palmer’s ex-partner says WWE conducted its own investigation into her claims and ultimately terminated Palmer’s contract in September 2024.
WWE did not confirm or comment on the nature of Palmer’s separation from the company.
She expressed gratitude toward WWE for taking her allegations seriously, stating that they contacted her to discuss the matter in the course of the investigation.
In a video posted on social media earlier this month, he also denied “false claims… coming from a party I used to prior (sic) engage with,” though he didn’t go into detail.
“He begged me to forgive him every time. It’s like two people live in one body,” she said, recounting instances of alleged violence involving Palmer, who she had been in an intermittent relationship with going back to 2018. “He put me through so much mental anguish,” she claimed. “No one knows what happens behind closed doors.”
Describing his behavior further, she alleged, “He would have violent outbursts and increasingly erratic frustration periods and take them out on me.”
Palmer’s ex-partner says she is supportive of legal action against him in Orange County related to the potential battery charge. “I am no longer scared to speak up after he instilled fear in me for so long,” she said.
“I used to feel bad for Omari and hoped he would change his erratic behavior and abusive ways towards me. He portrays [himself] to be someone else to the public, to his fans, to his parents. No one knows a lot of the things I’ve kept quiet and endured,” Palmer’s ex-partner told us. “I wanted to protect him and love him but it reached a point where enough was enough.”
