Russell Wilson's Rocky Relationship With Golden Tate Explained

Leading up to Russell Wilson and Ashton Meem's divorce, both Wilson and Golden Tate were playing for the Seattle Seahawks. Although it's unclear exactly how the rumors got started, many fans began speculating that the Wilson-Meem divorce was the result of an affair between Meem and Tate.

Just a few days after Wilson announced his divorce filing, Tate took to Twitter to condemn the "ridiculous rumors." He went on to point out that his girlfriend at the time, Elise Pollard, remained close friends with Meem. Four years after the drama, Pollard became his wife.

While many seemed willing to accept his dismissal, the rumors still followed Tate throughout his career. In 2015, the star took to The Cauldron to pen a blog post clearing up long-standing allegations about his personal life and character. Alongside addressing an alleged fight between him and Percy Harvin, he once again firmly denied a relationship with Meem. "I did not have an affair with Russell Wilson's wife, nor did I have anything to do with his divorce," he wrote. "This is laughable for anyone who knows us."
