Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua is back in the headlines. According to new reports, the NFL standout has been accused of biting a woman and making antisemitic comments during a night out. While his lawyer has denied the claims, football fans are sharing their reactions to the news, and they don’t appear to be on his side. The claims surrounding Nacua come just months after the 24-year-old sparked controversy after appearing in a video with popular livestreamer Adin Ross.
NFL Star Puka Nacua Being Accused Of Biting A Woman During A Night Out And Shouting Anti-Semitic Language
According to TMZ Sports, a Los Angeles woman has filed a restraining order against Nacua, claiming that on December 31, 2025, the BYU alum bit her, breaking her skin, and made an offensive comment.
In the documents, the woman alleged that things between her and Nacua were already off to a rough start when he reportedly yelled “f— all the Jews” during dinner. Elsewhere in the documents, the woman claimed Nacua displayed more distressing behavior when they were in a Sprinter van, becoming “touchy-feely.”
The legal paperwork then alleged Nacua “dropped his head into [her] girlfriend’s lap and crotch area and bit her thumb so forcefully that she screamed in acute pain” before reportedly turning to her and biting her left shoulder so hard that it broke her skin and left an imprint of his teeth.
More Allegations About Puka Nacua Come To Light Amid Latest Filing
The woman reportedly filed a police report the following day, according to TMZ.
She later met with Nacua’s legal team, who allegedly threatened to “contact TMZ and other press and media outlets and to disseminate false, inaccurate, and/or deliberately exaggerated public statements about the events of December 31, 2025.”
Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, blasted the woman in a recent statement, claiming she’s using Nacua to make a moment and secure a massive payday.
TMZ shared that McCarthen said Nacua was engaged in “horseplay” that night, leaving a bite mark on the reporting party. He then dismissed the claims that Nacua recited offensive language, saying he’s communicated with sober witnesses from that night who completely deny the allegations.
Despite the claims, a judge in Los Angeles denied the woman’s request for a temporary restraining order.
NFL Fans React To The News About Puka Nacua
NFL fans are reacting to the latest allegations involving Nacua, and many are expressing little surprise at the claims.
“JFC, remember when we never heard anything about Puka?” someone wrote, while another said, “CTE tailspin in full force.”
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, is a medical condition caused by repeated head injuries, and has been seen in many NFL players, including former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez.
Another netizen wrote, “It’s always the ones you most suspect,” while a fourth shared, “This guy is a total moron. He’s really lucky this incident is likely to be waved off as he said, she said. … This will hopefully be the wakeup call that he needs to completely cut the sh-t.”
Nacua Was Under Fire In Late 2025 After Appearing In A Livestream
This isn’t the first time Nacua has drawn negative attention, according to The Blast.
In late 2025, Nacua faced backlash after appearing in a video with Ross, a popular Kick livestreamer. During the event, Ross asked Nacua to rub his hands together while staring into the camera. After that, Nacua learned that many people interpreted the gesture as antisemitic.
The Rams issued a statement after the moment went viral, denouncing hate and bigotry, while Nacua released a statement, claiming he was unaware of the harm his actions had caused.
“When I appeared the other day on a social media livestream, it was suggested to me to perform a specific movement as part of my next touchdown celebration,” he said. “At the time, I had no idea this act was antisemitic in nature and perpetuated harmful stereotypes against Jewish people.”
Drama In The NFL
The 2025–26 NFL season was riddled with scandal. From the opening clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys to the postseason, controversy was never far behind.
According to The Blast, Cincinnati Bengals player Ja’Marr Chase faced backlash in November 2025 when he was seen spitting at Pittsburgh Steelers player Jalen Ramsey.
The tense exchange happened late in the second half of their contest after the pair were seen snapping back and forth at each other. Both players were involved in a physical scuffle after that, resulting in ejections from the game.
Chase was slammed by current and former NFL players, including Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson.
“The most disrespectful thing you can do [is spit on someone],” Sharpe said. “You’re telling me I’m the ground. That’s the lowest thing you can do—and he lied.”
Johnson added, “As much as I love you, you can’t do that. You can’t do that. You can be angry. You can be mad. You can say what you wanna to say to a player on the field, but you can’t spit on nobody.”
Chase was suspended for one game without pay, resulting in more than $500,000 in losses.
