Antisemitism allegations against Rams' Puka Nacua 'false and damaging,' lawyer says
Puka Nacua is accused of biting a woman and making an antisemitic comment. The Rams WR's lawyer acknowledged the allegations but said his client denies them.
Puka Nacua’s attorney acknowledged allegations made against the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver in legal filings but said in a statement that his client denies wrongdoing. A woman alleges Nacua made an antisemitic comment and bit her during a group outing on New Year’s Eve 2025. The allegations were first reported by TMZ on Tuesday.
The alleged victim filed a temporary restraining order against Nacua, according to TMZ, and filed a police report. Nacua, through his attorney, denied the allegations levied against him. “Puka denies these allegations in the strongest possible terms,” attorney Levi G.
McCathern, II said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. “We will be filing a defamation lawsuit and pursuing all available legal remedies in response to these false and damaging statements. ” Nacua’s attorney also said that the alleged victim asked for millions of dollars in exchange for not publicizing the allegations.
“Let’s be clear about what this case is — and what it is not,” McCathern said. “This matter is not sexual in nature, nor does it involve any allegation of domestic violence. If it did, the filings would look very different.
