American football team Baltimore Ravens kicker’s Justin Tucker has denied allegations from six women who claim he engaged in inappropriate behavior during massage therapy sessions between 2012 and 2016, according to media reports.
Five of the women alleged that Tucker requested massages of his pelvic area or inner thighs while aroused and intentionally exposed himself.
Two women claimed he brushed against them with his exposed genitals, while three others reported finding what they believed to be “ejaculation” on the massage table.
Several therapists reportedly ended their sessions early or refused to work with him again due to his behavior.
In a statement posted on social media, Tucker called the allegations “unequivocally false” and maintained that he has always conducted himself with “the utmost professionalism.”
He denied ever being dismissed from a massage therapy session or banned from any business, stating that the article exaggerated “innocuous” or “ambitious” interactions. However, two spas confirmed to The Baltimore Banner that Tucker had been banned following complaints.
One woman described taking extra precautions to keep Tucker covered during sessions, saying she tucked him in “like a baby,” but he repeatedly repositioned himself, causing her to brush against his genitals. She expressed disbelief, saying, “I did hundreds of massages and I never had someone else do that.”
Michael Belsky, an attorney representing four of the women, described the allegations as “voluminous, very similar, and very troubling,” noting the lasting impact on his clients.
The National Football League (NFL) has said it will investigate the matter under its personal conduct policy, while the Ravens stated they take such allegations seriously and are monitoring the situation.
Tucker, 35, is widely regarded as one of the greatest kickers in NFL history, holding the league’s best career field goal conversion rate (89.1%) and the record for the longest successful field goal (66 yards in 2021).
A seven-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl XLVII champion, Tucker has been a cornerstone of the Ravens since being drafted in 2012.
