Former Washington quarterback Mark Rypien is being sued by his longtime partner, who alleges years of physical and emotional abuse, according to The Spokesman-Review.
Rypien is being sued by Danielle Wade. The two were never married, though Wade did take Rypien's name for a few years. Wade filed the lawsuit in April under her maiden name.
The lawsuit alleges years of abuse by Rypien. The allegations, which cover a span of 2008 to 2020, include Rypien striking Wade with a car, shoving Wade and pushing Wade into a car door.
