Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Eva Marcille managed to lose about 175 odd pounds of dead weight. In March 2023, she filed to divorce her husband, Michael Sterling. RHOA fans will remember Eva marrying Michael in a lavish wedding she may or may not have been able to afford in Season 11.
It looks like Mike might have been quite a handful. Back in 2022, he was cited for a DUI and reckless driving after a car accident. While Michael might have tried to fight his divorce and lost, he fought the DUI and managed to score a victory. Radar has the details.
Dismissed!
Last April Michael was arraigned in court after a motor vehicle wreck that turned into a civil lawsuit. Eva did arrive at the scene of the accident before her husband was taken into custody. Also, this was only a few weeks after the couple decided to end their marriage.
Mike was driving a Ford Mustang GT which allegedly plowed into a 2014 Camry. He plead not guilty in Fulton County State Court on the misdemeanor charges of DUI, following too closely, and reckless driving.
The police report implied Michael smelled like alcohol which he immediately denied. He is still battling it out with the other victims in the crash, they claim to have injuries and emotional distress from the ordeal. They spent over $2k on medical bills and it appears they want to be compensated.
Per Michael’s lawyer, a statement was released after his recent win in court. “After all of the evidence was thoroughly examined, the State dismissed the Driving Under the Influence and Reckless Driving Charges in their entirety. I accepted a traffic violation of following too closely.”
Eva’s ex is “grateful” these charges are no longer following him. He said, “I believe the medical records exonerated me and demonstrated this was a wrongful arrest from the beginning. I was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.”
Additionally, the attorney is thankful “my reputation [was] restored following this embarrassing and misguided arrest.”
