Jeffrey Marty Is Stacey Dash’s Ex-husband Who Claims He Was Hypnotized into Marrying Her

Jeffrey Marty and Stacey Dash were married for about two years before the pair called it quits. Their marital journey was marked by a unique and rapid timeline. Marty once admitted that he was pressured into marrying the "Clueless" star.

Jeffrey Marty and Stacey Dash reportedly met in April 2018 and tied the knot just ten days later. Their secret wedding took place shortly after Dash withdrew from her campaign for Congress in California. The details surrounding their whirlwind romance and the decision to keep their union private remained a mystery.

When questioned about the sudden nuptials, Dash's manager, Kerry Jones, remained tight-lipped, revealing that the couple "wanted it on the D.L. [down low]." The choice to keep their wedding confidential left the public curious about the circumstances that led to their swift decision.

At the time, the couple experienced the challenges of a long-distance marriage. According to reports, the two lived in separate locations, with Marty, a lawyer, residing in Florida while Dash, an actress, based in Los Angeles.

Despite having a famous ex-wife, Marty preferred living a private life. Though he has a social media page, he hasn't made any posts or added personal information.

Jeffrey Marty's Wife Was Arrested for Domestic Violence

In 2019, Marty's ex-wife, Dash, made headlines following an incident that led to her being booked into the Land O'Lakes Detention Facility. Based on the arrest report, the incident involved a physical altercation between Dash and a victim.

He claimed the rushed decision to marry Dash ten days after meeting her came after the pastor unexpectedly declared it was God's will for them to get married.

The situation unfolded during a verbal argument at an apartment complex off Trinity Boulevard. According to the arrest report, tensions escalated, and Dash allegedly pushed and slapped the victim's face, leaving red scratch marks on the left upper arm.

Later revelations confirmed that the victim was, in fact, Jeffrey Marty. In a 911 call recording released by the Sheriff's Office, Dash informed the dispatcher that her husband had put her in a headlock during the altercation in the apartment.

Following the incident, Marty's ex-wife took to X (formerly Twitter) to explain what exactly transpired. She wrote:

"Like normal married couples, my husband and I had a marital dispute that escalated. Thank you for your support and love. Please give him th same. [sic]"

Jeffrey Marty and His Ex-wife Split Seven Months after the Alleged Physical Altercation

After two years of marriage, the pair decided to part ways. The "Clueless" actress, who starred alongside Brittany Murphy and Paul Rudd, shared the heartbreaking news through her Instagram page.

In the post, Stacy Dash disclosed that she and Marty had made the difficult decision to end their marriage and expressed gratitude to everyone for their support. She also thanked people for respecting their privacy during that challenging time.

According to court documents, Marty requested the judge to annul the marriage, claiming he only took the vows after his ex-wife's pastor pressured him. He claimed the rushed decision to marry Dash ten days after meeting her came after the pastor unexpectedly declared it was God's will for them to get married.

Marty further contended that he was unable to think clearly through the life-changing decision as he felt manipulated by the use of hypnotic prayer techniques during the process. Dash and her attorney did not fully admit to Marty's claims.
