Puka Nacua, a Los Angeles Rams wide receiver, is facing serious allegations involving an incident with a woman. The claims assert that he bit her multiple times, including on her thumb and shoulder.
Incident Details
The allegations stem from an event that reportedly took place on December 31, 2025. A woman has filed for a temporary restraining order against Nacua, which includes a photograph of what she describes as a circular bite pattern attributed to him.
Legal Representation’s Comments
Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, has addressed the situation. He referred to the interaction as “horseplay” while seemingly conceding to at least one bite. McCathern also described the mark left as a “temporary mark,” a characterization reported by TMZ.
Antisemitic Allegations
The alleged victim claims that earlier in the evening, Nacua made an antisemitic remark. This was cited as the inciting incident in a series of escalating problematic behaviors during the night. McCathern has denied these allegations, asserting that Nacua’s actions were misrepresented.
Interestingly, a separate incident in December involved Nacua unintentionally making a gesture that resembled an antisemitic trope, for which he later expressed ignorance regarding its connotation.
Threats and Counterclaims
The alleged victim further claims that during a mediation session this month, Nacua’s legal team threatened to contact media outlets, including TMZ, to spread false or exaggerated statements about the events. In response, McCathern labeled the entire situation as a “shakedown,” alleging that the woman is seeking millions in damages.
Upcoming Hearings
The request for the temporary restraining order against Nacua was ultimately denied. However, a subsequent hearing is scheduled for April 14, where these serious allegations will continue to unfold in the public eye.
