Star Trek and Transformers author Roberto Orci is accused of beating and sexually abusing his wife

Adele Heather Taylor, an actress in “The Blacklist,” “Hail, Caesar!” and others, claims in the lawsuit that Orci was bipolar and an alcoholic who had violent temper tantrums. She claims he called her a “slut,” a “whore,” and dragged her around the house and beat her, leaving her with bruises all over her body.

In May 2022, she claims, Orci chased her into the garden, pinned her to the ground and threatened to rape her. The following month, she claims, he sexually assaulted her in the garden, telling her, “You enjoy being raped.”

She also claims that Orci called the police in April 2020 after she tried to fight him off and she was arrested for domestic violence.
