Ex-All-Star shortstop Omar Vizquel accused of domestic violence
Omar Vizquel has been accused of domestic abuse by his wife, Blanca, who alleged multiple instances of physical violence from the former star shortstop in a report published Wednesday by The Athletic.
Blanca Vizquel, 36, told The Athletic that her husband physically abused her in 2011 before they were married in 2014 and in 2016. She also described a heated argument with her husband this past August, when she decided to leave him and begin divorce proceedings.
Vizquel strongly denied the allegations in a statement issued Wednesday night, saying, I have never hit or been violent towards my wife, Blanca. Any accusation to the contrary is false.
