Amid their divorce proceedings, Hollywood actress Stacey Dash’s estranged husband, Jeffery Marty claims he was cajoled into marriage in a spiritual trance while demanding the annulment of their union.
Hollywood star Stacey Dash and her husband, Jeffery Marty, are in the middle of a dramatic divorce. Updates of their divorce proceedings showed that Marty, a lawyer, claimed to have been under a spiritual influence when he agreed to marry the actress.
This he stated in the new court documents, which is a part of their divorce petition. Marty also asked the judge to put an end to his and Dash’s union.

Marty claimed that Dash’s pastor had pressured him into preparing for their wedding on short notice under the guise of “God’s will.” He mentioned that other clergies in the church had a hand in it, hijacking him through “hypnotic prayer techniques,” after which he found himself getting hitched.
The “Getting Played” actress later filed for divorce a day after resolving the domestic violence issue.
Responding to his claims, Dash’s publicist claims that the actress she knows nothing about his speculations had no information about her husband facing any mental issues at the time of their wedding.
Nevertheless, the actress in question seems not to oppose the divorce decisions as she asked the judge not to waste further time in annulling their marriage.
Months before their marital woes came to its peak, the “Mo’ Money” actress and her spouse were in the news over alleged domestic violence issues. At the time, Dash, 53, was arrested for being the aggressor.
However, Marty pressed no charges and even appeared in court on her behalf. The court statement obtained by People shared details that “Ms. Dash’s husband appeared in court today, September 30th, on her behalf, and Ms. Dash was released from the Land O’ Lakes detention facility. No further legal action is pending.”
