NFL wide receiver Puka Nacua is preparing to take the offensive in court after a woman accused him of biting and making anti-Semitic remarks during a New Year’s Eve outing in Century City, Los Angeles.

His attorney has announced plans to file a defamation lawsuit, pushing back aggressively against the claims.

The Allegations Surface

According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the woman alleged that Nacua shouted “f*** all the Jews” during dinner.

She described the incident as the start of a series of “rude or vulgar, threatening, violent, and harassing conduct” by the Rams star.

The complaint further claimed that Nacua engaged in “touchy-feely” behavior and allegedly bit both the accuser and her girlfriend, leaving a visible mark on the woman’s shoulder.

A photo of the bite mark was included in her temporary restraining order application, filed after the incident.

Nacua’s Denial and Legal Strategy

Nacua’s lawyer, Levi McCathern, has strongly denied all allegations, labeling them as a “shakedown attempt.”

He described the claims as false and aimed at blackmailing the NFL player.

“Let’s be clear: this case is not sexual, nor does it involve domestic violence or antisemitism,” McCathern told the Daily Mail.

He added that a sober witness confirmed that Nacua never made the offensive remarks.

McCathern emphasized that the accuser continued socializing with Nacua after the incident, pointing to videos of her partying as evidence that contradicts her current claims.

McCathern also highlighted the timing of the lawsuit—filed months after the alleged incident and around the same time as wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba signed a record-breaking contract—as undermining the accuser’s credibility.

Details of the Alleged Incident

The woman’s account describes a chaotic scene after dinner in a Sprinter van.

She claimed that Nacua became “touchy-feely” with her, then allegedly bit her girlfriend’s thumb so hard she screamed, before biting the woman on her left shoulder.

She contacted police the following day and filed an incident report, though her petition for a temporary restraining order was initially denied pending a follow-up hearing on April 14.

Mediation and PR Tensions

Before filing for the restraining order, both parties attended a mediation session with attorneys and a crisis PR team.

Court documents allege that Nacua’s attorney threatened to go public with false statements if the accusations were pursued—a claim McCathern has not publicly addressed.

He told TMZ that the bite mark occurred during horseplay while the group was partying and that it left only a temporary mark.

Nacua’s Previous Controversy

The alleged anti-Semitic remark came shortly after another public incident involving streamer Adin Ross, who encouraged Nacua to perform a so-called “Jewish dance” after a touchdown.

The gesture was widely criticized for invoking a negative stereotype, prompting Nacua to apologize, saying he had “no idea” about the reference.

Impact and Consequences

This legal dispute has already cast a shadow over Nacua’s career, raising questions about public image, sponsorships, and fan perception.

A defamation lawsuit could further escalate tensions and draw significant media attention to the Rams wide receiver.

What’s Next?

The case is scheduled for a follow-up hearing on April 14 to review the temporary restraining order.

Meanwhile, Nacua plans to file a defamation suit, potentially opening a protracted legal battle in Los Angeles.

Summary

Puka Nacua has been accused of biting and using anti-Semitic language during a New Year’s Eve outing.

He denies the allegations, with his attorney claiming the complaint is a blackmail attempt.

The dispute involves a temporary restraining order, mediation meetings, and ongoing public scrutiny, setting the stage for a legal showdown.
