‘That’s a choice he made’

Fred Kerley and his wife are involved in a court battle after Olympic 100m bronze medallist allegedly assault his wife and Angelina explains why they are at loggerheads.

Fred Kerley‘s estranged wife Angelica, has insisted that she wants charges leveled against her husband to proceed.  

Kerley was arrested on January 2 and released two days later on bond in relation to the alleged attack on Angelica and from a separate incident where he was tased by police during a night out in Miami Beach with his new lover.


Angelica Kerley explains the physical torture she went through in the 6 am morning confrontation with the American sprinter Fred Kerley and claims the Olympic medallist leads a double life.


Speaking to the Daily Mail, Angelica, mother of three, said Kerley has to face his consequences  even if it means being jailed. “I feel like if he goes to jail, he’ll leave me alone. I can’t lie about that. I don’t want him to have to miss out on our kids’ lives. But that’s a choice that he made. Now he has to face the consequences of his actions,” Angelica said.

Kerley, Olympic 100m bronze medallist, is alleged to have molested Angelica on a couple of occasions in their marriage that has allegedly lasted  over 10 years. Angelica has been pressing Kerley for a divorce since the alleged attack and years of infidelity.

Fred Kerley: 5 key reasons the Olympian’s jail stay was extended after Miami arrest

The US sprinter was detained in Miami, facing extended jail time due to new allegations tied to a past incident.


The young woman said the final straw was when she was pregnant with her now one-year-old son. She alleged the athlete hooked up with a woman on one of his regularly trips to Germany for medical treatment.

Angelica referred to a jaunt in June 2023 when a woman with the Instagram name islandblanche wrote to her saying: “I just want to let you know that when I was with your husband in Germany I had no idea he had a wife and three kids.

“I just recently found out that he’s married and you were expecting a baby when I was with him. Please accept my apologies as I did not know that Fred has a family. You have my continual prayers that your family will prevail.”

A skeptical Angelica replied simply: ‘Proof?’ The woman sent back a selfie of her with Kerley in the bathroom of what Angelica knew was his hotel room – plus images of flight tickets for her to Germany which appear to be bought in his name. Angelica says she still loves her estranged husband but not in the same way.
