This set his mom, Sherhonda Gaulden, off ... and she took to Instagram to claim he's an absent father who doesn't speak to his own kids.

She also claimed to be present for his "Open Thoughts" interview, but then backtracked when she realized she was thinking of a different interview.

08/12/2026 4:00 PM PST -- Marcellus Wiley tells TMZ ... At the time in question, I was with our children during a supervised visit with NO issues and NO violations. Yet, once again, Annemarie is making allegations against me. This marks the THIRD attempt to have me arrested for an alleged restraining order violation. She’s now 0 for 3. This latest accusation looks like a panic filled distraction from the facts that are getting impossible to ignore. The State of Florida dropped the case, and the public conversation quickly shifted toward questioning her allegations, contradictions, and gaslighting. When one narrative collapses, another accusation suddenly appears. Welcome to another episode of ‘The Real HouseLies of Annemarie’ Three attempts. Three failures. At some point, it stops looking like protection and starts looking like a pattern. #AnnemarieFatigue

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's always open about talking policy ... but not her dating life clearly -- because she shut a reporter down who tried to dive into her love life.

The New York Post caught up with the Congresswoman on Wednesday after the news broke that she's officially single ... but, when they asked her about her ex-fiancé Riley Roberts, she shot the question down.

AOC responded with a smile, "I don’t comment on my private life – thank you." She refused to answer any of the follow-ups either.

AOC and Riley actually split roughly two years ago, and called off their engagement, according to Puck's Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell ... who was first to report the couple's demise.

Multiple sources on Capitol Hill tell TMZ, it's felt like ages since the pair were seen together publicly. That's not hyperbole ... Riley and AOC were last photographed at 2021's Met Gala.
