Antonio Pierce got the best news of his life when he was named the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Just months away from his official debut as head coach, Pierce is getting the worst news ever when it comes to his finances.
Jocelyn Pierce, the wife of Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, has reportedly filed for bankruptcy. This news comes as a result of the couple investing in several car dealerships that ended up defaulting on their loans.
Unfortunately for Antonio Pierce, he was named as a guarantor of judgments, which comes out to over $28 million, and lenders want their money.
Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation and Hyundai Capital America want what is owed to them.
Per Jason Morrin:
“Jocelyn Pierce, wife of Raiders Coach Antonio Pierce, files for bankruptcy. Per the filing, Mr. Pierce invested in car dealerships that defaulted on their loans. He was named as a guarantor of judgments = over $28M. Lenders now seek to satisfy judgments from marital assets,” Jason Morrin reported.
“Mrs. Pierce filed for bankruptcy on 6/12/24 but claims she did not sign any personal guaranty on the loans. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (holding a $23M judgment) and Hyundai Capital America ($4.5M judgment) recently attempted to garnish Mr. Pierce’s wages.”

Antonio Pierce and Jocelyn have three children together, and Antonio has several other children from before he met Jocelyn.
