Paula Marlett has been making headlines of her own – after footage of her husband, Prince George County police officer Francesco Marlett, 34, making out with his mistress in his cop car went viral.
The police officer was spotted by a TikTok user kissing Virginia Pinto outside his cruiser near Oxon Hill High School, before climbing into the back seat together.
The video led Paula to embark on a furious rant on Facebook on September 6, calling Pinto a ‘b****’, and saying that she can ‘rot in h***.’
Pinto then hit back with her own allegations – saying that Paula had already been cheating on her husband.

The affair between Pinto and officer Marlett has been a hot topic since the release of the video on September 5 – which led to Marlett’s suspension and his wife’s fury over the discretion.
But who is Paula Marlett? This is what we know about the scorned wife so far.
She and her husband were living a seemingly quiet life with their three young children in Suitland, Maryland, before their very public spat.
It is unclear what she does for work – but she has taken several selfies wearing scrubs.
In a post following the ‘outing’ of her husband’s affair, she indicated that she had known about the pair’s trysts ‘for years’.
She said: ‘Virginias husband left her a** a long time ago bc she cheated so she and my husband decided to do this behind my back for years.
‘My life is my life. I will make decisions according,’ she continued.
Paula Marlett posted a statement on Facebook after the video of her husband and Pinto’s affair went viral. It has been shared by several users and has received more than 1,000 reactions
Not too much is known about what Paula Marlett does for a living and where she works. However, she has been spotted wearing scrubs in multiple selfies
Pinto replied in a scathing post, saying: ‘Paula Marlett isn’t saying the whole story which I understand but please don’t be mad at me because your husband wants me.’
Paula has yet to reply to Pinto’s claims on Facebook – or to statements she made an interview with the New York Post, in which she said the affair had been going on for two years.
‘In my heart, in his heart, I know that I’ve done nothing. He knows. Paula knows. I’ve done nothing wrong. God is my higher power,’ she said.
However, she did admit via text message that, although Pinto is ‘easy,’ her marriage to Marlett was already in trouble.
She said: ‘I never put our marriage out there bc like all marriages we hit a rough patch.
‘We get thru everything at the end of the day.’
In the meantime, a new video of her husband and Pinto has since been released – showing the mistress jogging over to the police cruiser and, again, climbing into the back seat, proving this was not the officer’s first indiscretion.
Francesco Marlett was suspended following the release of the first video with Pinto. This is his third suspension – his first being in 2016 after being charged with child abuse
Unlike the two women in his life, Marlett has so far remained silent on the subject.
He was put on paid leave following the incident – and the Prince George Police Department opened its own investigation.
This is the Maryland cop’s third suspension since joining the force – his first being in 2016 after being charged with child abuse.
The 2016 incident involved his then-girlfriend’s three-year-old son, who the officer allegedly knocked unconscious while off duty in December 2015.
He was also suspended for a month in May 2023 after being accused of domestic violence – though it is unclear if the accusations were made by his wife.
The officer returned to duty in June, and until the videos were made public, he had not been in any more hot water at the police department.
