The wife of the Maryland cop caught on viral video kissing another woman and taking her into the back of his patrol car sparked a war of words with his “mistress” Wednesday — telling her to “rot in hell bitch.”
“There goes my husband and his Mistress,” Paula Marlett wrote on Facebook alongside the 47-second clip of her now-suspended cop husband, Francesco Marlett, in a compromising position with another woman.
“I’m not doing OK … It constantly pops up on my f—ing newsfeed and I have to constantly re-watch it over and over again,” she said of the viral video, which made the rounds on TikTok and Instagram on Monday.
“This is a very tough time for me and my kids,” Paula also wrote early Wednesday of the “embarrassing and painful” experience.
“Yes I know what’s been going on,” she said, publicly naming the woman filmed with her hubby as Virginia Pinto.
“Virginia’s husband left her ass a long time ago bc she cheated so she and my husband decided to do this behind my back for years,” she claimed in one of her posts..
“I Love you all. Except for you Virginia you can rot in hell bitch.”

Pinto soon hit back, accusing the scorned wife of not “saying the whole story.”
“Not that I owe anyone an explanation, this girl has been cheating on her husband for a while now herself,” she claimed, without offering proof.
“I’ve done nothing wrong. … Please don’t be mad at me because your husband wants me.”
The salacious clip shows Francesco in Prince George’s County Police Department uniform with his arms around a woman in a short, tight dress in a parking area of Southlawn Neighborhood Park in Oxon Hill.

Francesco grabs the woman’s backside before walking her inside his squad car and getting in beside her.
The onlookers who filmed the intimate moment can be heard speaking in Spanish behind the camera, with one crying “Ayy, yo!’ as they watch.
“Johnny Sins wildin on the job,” the caption read, in reference to an adult film star.
“It went from friendly to romantic real fast,” witness Carlos, 22, told JamPress.
“I was disappointed by the attention because if a regular citizen does something like this, they would be arrested.
“It’s power abuse and he didn’t care to even look up to see if anyone was looking,” he continued.
“I felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable explaining to my nephew why she’s getting in the back seat with him if she hasn’t done a crime.”
Since the video went public, Marlett has been suspended pending an investigation, the Prince George’s County Police Department said Tuesday afternoon.
The department previously explained that it was “aware” of the footage and was looking into the circumstances.

Francesco Marlett was previously suspended without pay in 2016 when he was indicted for second-degree child abuse, Fox 5 DC reported Tuesday.
He was watching his girlfriend’s child while she cooked dinner, and allegedly spanked the boy until he hit his head and lost consciousness as punishment for wetting the bed.
It is not immediately clear if Paula Marlett was the then-girlfriend involved in that incident.

Angelo Consoli, the Prince George’s County police union president, told the Washington Post that the union was aware of the investigation.
“We support our officers during any and all investigations, and ask that people reserve any judgment until the facts come out,” Consoli said.
“At which time, we’ll re-evaluate our position.”
