Puka Nacua Faces Allegations of Assault and Antisemitic Remarks

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is embroiled in serious allegations stemming from an incident on December 31, 2025. A woman has filed for a temporary restraining order against him, claiming he made antisemitic comments and physically assaulted her by biting her multiple times. The woman alleges that during a group dinner, Nacua shouted, “F*ck all the Jews,” which she described as the beginning of an escalating pattern of rude and threatening behavior. Following the dinner, she claims Nacua bit her thumb and shoulder, breaking the skin and leaving visible marks.

According to court documents and reports from TMZ, the alleged victim claims that after dinner, while in a Sprinter van, Nacua became “touchy-feely” and bit her friend’s thumb so forcefully that it caused her to scream. He then allegedly turned to the complainant and bit her shoulder, resulting in a circular imprint of his teeth. The woman reported the incident to the police the following day and included photographs of the alleged bite marks in her filing.

Nacua's attorney, Levi McCathern, has characterized the allegations as a “shakedown,” asserting that the woman is seeking millions of dollars in damages. He acknowledged that some physical contact occurred but described it as “horseplay” that left only a temporary mark. McCathern also denied that Nacua made any antisemitic remarks, citing sober witnesses who allegedly did not hear such comments.

The request for a temporary restraining order was denied by a judge, and a hearing is scheduled for April 14, 2026, where both parties will present further details regarding the incident.

This incident comes at a critical time for Nacua, who is eligible for a contract extension with the Rams. His performance in the 2025 season was notable, with 129 receptions for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning him a Pro Bowl selection. However, the allegations may complicate his prospects for a new deal and could prompt the NFL to review the case under its personal conduct policy.

Critics of Nacua's behavior have pointed to the seriousness of the allegations, particularly the antisemitic remarks, which follow a previous controversy where he was accused of making an antisemitic gesture during a livestream with internet personalities Adin Ross and N3on. Nacua later apologized for that incident, claiming ignorance of the gesture's connotations.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the upcoming hearing on April 14 will be pivotal in determining the next steps for both Nacua and the Rams. The outcome could have significant implications for Nacua's career and the team's future plans regarding his contract.
