Rams star wide receiver says he will sue his accuser for defamation
Puka Nacua's lawyers say the accuser is trying to shake him down.
All-Pro Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua says he will sue the woman who made claims against him. A woman in Los Angeles requested an order of protection from the 24-year-old NFL star after she accused him of making anti-Semitic remarks and biting her. Well, now the star wide receiver and his lawyers say they will sue his accuser for defamation.
"Puka denies these allegations in the strongest possible terms," Nacua's attorney Levi McCathern told TMZ after the woman filed the TRO. "We will be filing a defamation lawsuit and pursuing all available legal remedies in response to these false and damaging statements. ” According to TMZ, McCathern is adamant her story is pure fiction ...
and he points to the woman's behavior later that night. He says he has video evidence of the accuser "twerking and partying at a club" with the Rams star after the alleged incidents. He also accused her of trying to shake down the star wideout.
"That is not a legitimate legal claim -- it is blackmail," McCathern said. "The timing of the claimant’s recent legal action -- nearly three months after the alleged incident and just after JSN’s record-breaking contract as a wide receiver -- further underscores the complete lack of credibility behind these accusations. ” This article originally appeared on Touchdown Wire: Rams star wide receiver says he will sue his accuser for defamation
