Ryan Shazier, the former NFL star who suffered a serious injury while he was playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers that cost him the rest of his career, is now facing public cheating allegations from a pissed-off wife.
His wife, Michelle, posted and then deleted screenshots of the texts between her husband and the woman he was allegedly talking with on social media.
TMZ Sports and many others dropped the damning messages before Michelle Shazier eventually deleted the posts.
“A person that loves his family… this is what they do to their family… the WIFE.. that has been there for him since day 1! Infidelity at its finest! I can’t sit here and keep hiding anymore. You can have it. I deserve better,” she wrote in a post. “This is Ryan… he’s a liar and a cheater!”
Shazier appeared to send reading suggestions to the woman, including “The Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex For Women” and “Blow By Blow: A Step-by-Step Guide On How To Give B— J— So Explosive That He Will Be Willing To Do Anything For You.”
Shazier, meanwhile, has responded to the accusations in a statement to TMZ Sports.
“Michelle and I have been living apart and are currently separated,” Shazier said. “As we work through what comes next for our family, I ask for privacy and prayers.”

Ryan and Michelle were married in 2019 and it was best remembered for Shazier taking to the dance floor to dance with his wife some eighteen months after a spinal injury almost left him paralyzed.
The Steelers selected Shazier in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He was a Pro Bowler in 2016 and was named to the 2017 Pro Bowl.
In a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in December 2017, he had a catastrophic spinal injury that ended his career. In September 2020, he formally retired and would never set foot on a football field again.
