Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is facing some serious allegations after a woman in Los Angeles filed for a temporary restraining order, claiming that the NFL star made an antisemitic comment before biting her and breaking the skin.

According to TMZ Sports, the woman claims that Nacua made the comments during a dinner on December 31, 2025, where he shouted: “F*ck all the Jews.”

The woman says Nacua’s comment was the “first act in what became an escalating course of rude or vulgar, threatening, violent, and harassing conduct.” While leaving in a sprinter van, Nacua is accused of dropping his head into the woman’s lap and biting her thumb so hard that he penetrated the skin.

She says that in March 2026, after filing an incident report with police at the beginning of the year, there was a mediation conference where Nacua’s team 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, says the allegations are a shakedown attempt with the woman asking for millions. He claims the bite was nothing but some “horseplay” that left a temporary mark. He also denies that Nacua ever made antisemitic remarks.

The temporary restraining order was denied, and a hearing is scheduled for April 14.
