Addison Russell's Ex-Wife Shares Blog Post Detailing Disturbing Story of Emotional, Physical Abuse

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell's ex-wife, Melisa Reidy, linked to a blog post on her Instagram account Thursday night that details years of domestic abuse at the hands of an unnamed ex-husband.

The couple separated in June 2017 after Melisa posted a now-deleted Instagram photo alleging infidelity. A friend of Melisa's commented on the post and alleged that Russell had also physically abused his ex-wife during the relationship.

The author of the blog post details alleged physical abuse, along with accompanying emotional and psychological abuse. The post aligns with Reidy's previous allegations against Russell.
