Former NBA star Dwight Howard filed for divorce from wife Amy Luciani after she accused him of cocaine use when his daughter was removed from his home by CPS.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Dwight filed for divorce from Amy after she made shocking allegations against him online.
Dwight said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and he asked for sole use of his Georgia mansion.
Amy, whose legal name is Amber Rose Howard, appeared distraught in a livestream video, saying through tears, “To know me, you know I am so prideful and so private. It hurt me so bad to have to even protect myself in this type of way. My marriage has landed me in a very dangerous position.”
She continued: “My stepdaughter was just taken by CPS because of her father. CPS and the police have been here three times in less than three months, and I stood in it with my husband even though I was scared for my own self…”
She alleged CPS removed Dwight’s daughter from the residence because the NBA Hall of Famer was using drugs.
Amy said she still loves Dwight… “I don’t want to leave my husband, but this – the positions he keeps putting me in… I have to advocate for the kids and I can’t go down for what he’s doing.”
Amy explained she tried to get help for Dwight to save her marriage. “I told everyone you got to help him… He is spiraling and I’m in here with him. I’m trying to love him through it.”
“And this is it,” she said as she poured a powdery substance in the palm of her hand. “This is what I’m losing my f–king marriage to. THIS SH-T!”
Amy alleged that when CPS showed up at the house, she refused to give him an alibi, so he allegedly coached his son to lie. She said she recorded Dwight coaching his 12-year-old son to lie for him.
Dwight has 5 children with multiple women, including sons Braylon, Dwight III, and David, and daughters Layla and Jayde. Dwight and Amy don’t have children together.
Amy shocked fans when she married Dwight in January 2025 after a whirlwind courtship. In 2023 Dwight, who is bisexual, was sued by another man for s*xual battery at his Atlanta-area home. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2024 and cannot be refiled.
Dwight denied the allegations against him. He said the intimate relations with his male accuser was consensual.
Amy previously filed for divorce from Dwight just six months after their wedding.
Dwight Howard’s wife, Amy Luciani, has shared several shocking allegations against the former NBA star on Instagram.
Luciani claims CPS took their daughter after multiple visits, alleging Dwight has a drug addiction and coached his 12-year-old son to lie for an alibi.
