Who Is Urban Meyer's Wife? New Details On Shelley Meyer
She has a lot to say.
getty Who is Urban Meyer's wife? The Ohio state head football coach — and his wife, Shelley Meyers, have been in the headlines recently surrounding the domestic abuse scandal of Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith. There are reports Urban Meyer and his wife knew about the abuse. Meyer has been placed on leave and suspended for three games because of the scandal.
The abuse started shortly after Ohio State wide receiver coach Zach Smith and his wife Courtney separated. In 2015, Courtney Smith called police in Powell, Ohio — outside of Columbus, Ohio — after a physical altercation with Zach where he caused bruises on her body — reportedly not the first time. Soon after, she visited the police department in person after another incident with her then-estranged husband after Zach was seen stalking around her house late a night violating a restraining order.
To add to it all, Courtney Smith alleges Zach Smith refused to return their son after a parental visit. She also claims he physically abused her on multiple occasions including before she called the police. No charges were filed. Smith told Stadium the incident when she called the police "was the last time (Zach Smith) ever laid his hands on me." As part of the video interview, Stadium posted photographs Courtney Smith took in 2014 that appeared to show injuries to her arm and neck.
Urban Meyer became implicated because allegedly he, along with his wife Shelley, knew about Zach Smith's abuse of his wife years ago and did nothing about it, according to a bombshell report by Brett McMurphy.
