Court records indicate Omari Palmer, known to WWE fans as Odyssey Jones, was granted an order of protection against his former partner in September 2024, shortly after his reported WWE release.
WWE never publicly commented on Palmer's release. He was reportedly taken off of television and removed from WWE's roster page after the company were made aware of domestic violence allegations against him.
Brandon Thurston of POST Wrestling published the following report on Palmer's order of protection:
In his petition to the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in Orange County, Florida, however, Palmer alleged he was the target of multiple incidents of harassment and threats from his ex-partner, stemming from an incident on a cruise ship in May 2024, which he says included physical attacks against him. Palmer claimed, according to court filings, that his ex-partner’s behavior was escalating and that he felt he was in “imminent danger”
The Florida court on September 6, 2024, first granted Palmer a temporary injunction for protection against dating violence, a court order intended to restrict contact or proximity with the person named in the petition, often in response to allegations of abuse or harassment. Judge Alison A. Kerestes has since extended the order twice: first for two months on September 17, through November 17, 2024, and then again last Monday, January 6, 2025, for an additional three years, into early 2028.
Palmer also stated that he filed a related police report with the Maitland Police Department in Florida, alleging stalking.
The petition reportedly described multiple incidents where Palmer was allegedly attacked by his ex-partner, including one in December 2023 at a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale
Palmer claims, “She has made up lies about me, and went as far as to contact my new place of employment and succeeded in getting me fired this week.”
On Saturday, Palmer released a video on social media addressing the allegations of domestic violence against him. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
