Mario Williams met Erin Marzouki in Houston while he was playing for the Houston Texans. In February 2011, just a month before signing with the Bills, Williams proposed to Erin Marzouki with a hefty 10 karat, $785,000 ring. In January 2013, less than a year later, Erin broke up with him. Does she return the ring or is it hers for keeps?
Mario Williams says “No Ma’am!” and he is suing to get the ring back!

The lawsuit details just how much Williams spent on Marzouki during their relationship. Items included an American Express credit card she could use to pay her living expenses — she rang up $108,000 in charges in one year — on top of the $230,000 in other gifts he showered on her that same year, according to the court record.
The lawsuit does smack of bitterness. Williams claims Marzouki used him for his fame — and fortune, according to court documents. Do the math: In one year he claimed he spent $1,123,000 on a fiancée who broke up with him just months after they’d become engaged.
“On or about Jan. 21, 2013, defendant (Marzouki) unilaterally terminated the parties engagement. The termination of the relationship was caused solely by the defendant. Defendant never intended to marry plaintiff (Williams) and used the relationship as a means to get to plaintiff’s money and acquire gifts. Defendant has absconded with the diamond engagement ring,” the lawsuit alleges.
Should Erin Marzouki give the ring back? Here are my thoughts. An an engagement ring is a conditional gift. SHE terminated the relationship, therefore she should give it back. Plain and simple. In my opinion, unless he cheated on her or caused her to break up with him, she needs to turn the ring over. She could have made so much more money marrying him and getting a divorce than holding on to a ring that is probably depreciating in value as we speak.
Honestly, a part of me is just glad she’s white.
