Nina Thomas has been accused of allegedly scamming the ex-NFL star of millions to fund her lavish lifestyle.
The estranged wife of former NFL star Earl Thomas, Nina Thomas, has found herself in hot water after being hit with multiple criminal charges.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, prosecutors accuse Nina of orchestrating a scheme to defraud her ex-husband out of millions of dollars.
The alleged fraud began in September 2021, a year after Nina filed for divorce from the former Seattle Seahawks defensive back.

Officials claim Nina, along with an unnamed co-conspirator, diverted money and property from Earl without his knowledge, transferring over a hefty $2.7 million into their own accounts.
The funds were reportedly spent on luxury items, including breast implants and a coveted Hermès Birkin handbag.
The report adds that Nina was arrested on December 16 following a warrant issued days earlier.
She now faces serious charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and aggravated identity theft.
She has since been released but has yet to make a public statement addressing the accusations.
Nina and Earl’s marriage was once the epitome of glamour.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in April 2016, attended by NFL royalty Russell Wilson and his singer wife Ciara.
However, their relationship spiralled into chaos in 2020 when Nina allegedly confronted Earl with a loaded gun after catching him in an alleged affair.
Since then, Nina has continued to promote her career as a real estate agent on Instagram.
According to multiple reports, Earl Thomas never formally retired from professional football, but he played his last season in 2019 for the Baltimore Ravens.
