Puka Nacua denies womans claim that he made

Puka Nacua has denied a lady’s claim that he made an antisemitic remark, says the Rams extensive receiver’s attorney.

Madison Atiabi made the claim this week in an software for a momentary restraining order obtained by The Times.

Atiabi asserted in the court submitting that during a group New Year’s Eve dinner, Nacua made an offensive comment about Jewish people “in a manner audible to [her] and others at the table.” Atiabi added that Nacua’s “vulgar, threatening, violent and harassing conduct” escalated as the night progressed.

After dinner, Atiabi said she was in a car with Nacua and others when the Rams star bit her on the left shoulder, leaving a substantial chew mark that was photographed. Nacua also is alleged to have bitten the thumb of Atiabi’s pal “so forcefully that she screamed in pain,” according to the submitting.

Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, said he has spoken to witnesses — including other Rams gamers who have been current — who didn’t hear Nacua make the antisemitic assertion. He also said the chew was harmless “horseplay.”

“Puka denies these allegations in the strongest possible terms,” McCathern said. “We will pursue all available legal remedies in response to these false and damaging statements.”

The request for a momentary restraining order was denied by a Los Angeles Superior Court judicial officer and a listening to is scheduled for April 14.

“Our office was contacted with demands of millions of dollars in exchange for not publicizing these allegations,” McCathern told GWN. “This is not a legitimate claim — it is blackmail.”

In December, Nacua apologized for an antisemitic gesture he made while showing on a livestream with Adin Ross and N3on.

The livestreamers, with Nacua out of earshot, mentioned whether or not Nacua would get in hassle if he carried out a transfer that references an offensive stereotype about Jewish people. Ross is Jewish, but he often performs the transfer in his livestreams.

They urged Nacua, who led the NFL with 129 receptions and was named an All-Pro in 2025, carry out the gesture the next time he scored a landing.

“At the time, I had no idea this act was antisemitic in nature and perpetuated hateful stereotypes against Jewish people,” Nacua wrote in his post. “I deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions as I do not stand for any form of racism, bigotry or hate of another group of people.”

The Rams distanced themselves from Nacua’s gesture in a assertion.

“There is no place in this world for antisemitism as well as other forms of prejudice or hostility towards the Jewish people and people of any religion, ethnicity, or race,” the staff said.
