Darlene Rodriguez's Admirable Support for Her Husband

Love isn’t only about sharing the good moments with your partner but staying beside them in their difficult times. In this regard, our story today is about a woman who has proved her love for her husband by standing with him in during tough times.

If you couldn’t guess, we are talking about NBC’s co-anchor, Darlene Rodriguez.

Even when the world was against her husband, Darlene stayed by his side. Darlene became the source of his strength and helped him overcome.

What Happened to Darlene Rodriguez's Husband?

In 2008, Darlene’s husband, David, got accused of using authority to have sexual contact with a seventeen-year girl. Later, David admitted that he used his influence and pleaded to the misconduct.

David was one of the officers who arrested the girl’s boyfriend on the charge of domestic violence. The girl claimed that David returned alone later and raped her.

Although David got alleged of a rape case, Darlene did not leave him alone. She stayed with her spouse during the court procedures and shared,

"I'm here to support my husband. I believe in him. I love him. He's innocent 100 percent."

Later, David was announced a culprit by the court; however, due to the plea, Rodriguez was given a one-year conditional discharge and was ordered to stay away from the teen for five years.

After being guilty, David resigned from New Rochelle as well.

Even in those times, Darlene stayed with her spouse like a shadow. The couple faced all the difficulties together and coped with them.

However, Darlene Rodriguez got severely criticized for supporting her husband. In this regard, a critic named Ross Decker tweeted,

"I've seen Darlene Rodriguez try to manipulate the news when her husband was arrested. Nothing new for #NBCfail."

Back in January 2011, another critic dropped a rhetorical comment on Twitter asking,

"Didn't Darlene Rodriguez's husband get busted for something last year? Sexual assault or something? He's a cop, right?"

Not allowing the situation to take hold of their relationship, the husband and wife made it through the storm and are still together.

Darlene and Rodriguez live in Croton-on-Hudson, and they have three children. 

Their oldest son and only daughter turned 19 and 16, respectively, in February 2019. Meanwhile, the married duo's youngest child is in his early teens.

The couple is happily spending their life with their kids. She set an example of a supportive and loving wife.

Eleven years on, there's no sign that the Rodriguez family is still reeling from the rape scandal. Instead, as their children make plans for college, Darlene and her husband seem content with the fact that the debacle is now a thing of the past.

More on Darlene Rodriguez

In an interview with Power 105.1's EmEz, Darlene talked about her growing up in the Bronx and how she was inspired to be a Journalist at the age of 8 due to her mother's influence. 

"Well Its Funny because I grew up in the Bronx, as you said, I wanted to do this job since I was eight years old. My mother was just a news junkie, watched it, consumed it, every day, and I just admired the people that I saw, and I wanted to tell stories.

She also explained that her circumstances were challenging as a Puerto Rican and how following her dream was harder than she imagined it to be, saying,

"Being that Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx It's not like I saw a lot of faces like mine in the news growing up. So it definitely took a lot of hustle, a lot of determination, a lot of people telling me 'it's not gonna work', 'you have a new york accent' 'it's not gonna work you don't have any experience, 'it's not gonna work you don't know anybody in this business and just having to tell yourself over and over again 'no no, it's gonna work.' "

She confessed to being a proud New Yorker and shared one of her experiences where the people of New York stood by each other and how the small communities who stick by each other to help each other and the ones in need are the real pride of New York.

She furthermore got into conversations about the current state and outlook of the News media and what she thinks of it right now as well as many other things.
