"He needs some help": Amy Luciani makes explosive drug allegations against Dwight Howard as her tearful plea goes viral
Amy Luciani alleges Dwight Howard's cocaine use led to multiple Child Protective Services visits and removal of their daughter, with three calls made within two months, she claims.
- This past week, Amy Luciani posted tearful Instagram videos accusing Dwight Howard of cocaine use and saying CPS removed their stepdaughter after visits to their Georgia home.
- Luciani filed for divorce in July 2025 after six months of marriage and previously sought a protective order alleging drug use and abuse, according to her claims.
- Luciani showed a clear bag and small silver vial she said contained cocaine, said she called police three times during their 14-month marriage, and alleged Howard coached their 12-year-old son to lie.
- Public scrutiny intensified as the resurfaced allegations met consistent denials from Howard's team, with the July 2023 lawsuit dismissed with prejudice in August 2024 and his lawyer calling claims fabricated.
- Howard, a 39-year-old, eight-time All-Star with three children, faces risks to his NBA comeback and custody disputes as he seeks exclusive use of his Georgia mansion, amid allegations from Luciani.
