What happened to Amy Luciani’s daughter?

In a now-deleted Instagram post obtained by The Shade Room, Amy shared that her daughter has been taken away by CPS due to Dwight’s alleged substance abuse issues.

“They took our daughter,” Amy says through tears. “ And I’m just sitting here wondering, do I speak up? Should I be quiet? What do I do?”

She continued: “I caught this man forcing our 12-year-old son to cover for him, his son, to cover for him. I recorded it. He was coaching our son to lie on me and I had to record it.”

She went on to pick up a clear Ziploc bag that appeared to be filled with a white-powdery substance.

“I’ve been trying to tell everybody, he needs some help," she said. “Nobody wanted to listen because he’s got the money. I live with him, and he needs some help. This is what I’m losing my f--king marriage to. I told everyone you got to help him … He is spiraling, and I’m in here with him. I’m trying to love him through it.”

In the caption, Amy explained that they had frequent visits from CPS, which caused her daughter to be removed from the home.

“My husband put himself in a position that resulted in CPS being called to our house 3X in less than two months, but three days ago, they were called again, and they left with our daughter,” the caption read, per CollegeFootballNetwork. “I have personally had to call the police on him three times in a barely 14-month marriage.”

She concluded: “I am deeply heartbroken right now to have to advocate for minors' voices and in return lose a marriage that I was so happy to be in.”

Interestingly, Dwight’s ex and oldest child’s mother, Royce Reed, had a lot to say about what’s going on. According to her, Amy called her "crazy" and made it seem like Royce was hating on her relationship with Dwight.

“You said I was jealous,” Royce shared in an Instagram video. “You said I wanted him when it was always about the damn kids. Now you want to sit here and cry and say, ‘It’s because of what everybody else did to him? No! It’s because of what he does to people.'"

Royce, who has been consistent with her accounts about Dwight’s troubling behavior and how it’s affected their 18-year-old son, Braylon, continued to read Amy for filth. She shared that Amy condoned his behavior and is only crying about it now because he’s lying on her.

“She’s been saying it, and because of [Dwight’s] celebrity, the courts gave him custody — she was right all along,” one person commented.

“Her kid was touched and had a case opened on him; she has every reason to always be upset and speak,” another person shared in Royce’s defense.

“I agree with Royce … [Amy] is only speaking up now cause she was bout to go down. Had that not happened, she would’ve still been covering for him. This is the only reason we got dragged into it. Any other time, she’s been tight-lipped bout everything,” another supporter shared.

For the sake of the kids, we hope that this situation gets handled swiftly.
