Netflix writer accused of sharing wife’s intimate photos around California church in revenge-porn lawsuit

Hollywood writer and producer Andrew Wilder, known for his work on Netflix’s Devil in Ohio and CBS’s Criminal Minds, is facing a civil lawsuit from his estranged wife, who alleges he distributed intimate photos and a video of her around their California church after accusing her of infidelity.

Wilder, 51, was convicted last week of distributing a private image with the intent to cause emotional distress. He and Placerita Bible Church in Santa Clarita are now defendants in a civil lawsuit filed by his wife, Alison.

According to the lawsuit, Wilder allegedly provided nude photos and a video of Alison in August 2024 to church elders and Pastor Adam Tyson, who has led Bible studies for Kanye West after the rapper began attending services at the church in 2019. Wilder allegedly presented the material as evidence that his wife had been unfaithful with “a Mexican man.”

The lawsuit alleges that the intimate material was later shown to Alison’s father, a senior member of the church, on an iPad, with parts of the images obscured.

The suit claims church elders discouraged Alison’s father from telling her about the photographs and from reporting the matter to police.

The alleged distribution occurred about five months after Alison filed for divorce. Court papers characterize the marriage as involving domestic violence and abuse, allegations Wilder has not been convicted of in the material provided.
