Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua is reportedly accused of biting a woman and making anti-Semitic remarks, according to TMZ.
The woman made the allegations in a dismissed request for a temporary restraining order after the incident that took place on December 31 in Los Angeles.
Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, said, according to TMZ, that “the entire claim is nothing more than a fluke” and that the bite “left nothing but a temporary mark.”

Nacua discussed the touchdown celebrations on YouTuber Adin Ross’s broadcast, as Nacua’s Rams are scheduled for Thursday night’s game in Seattle against the Seahawks.
However, many believed that the celebration perpetuated a dangerous anti-Semitic ideology.
In the video, Ross instructed Nacua to counter the ball, bend over and rub his hands together. Ross, who is Jewish, called this movement his “dance” or “emotion.”

Nacua received massive backlash and apologized Thursday, hours before his Rams were to play against the Seattle Seahawks.
“When I appeared the other day on a live social media broadcast, it was suggested to me that I make a specific move as part of my celebration of the next touch. At the time, I did not know that this move was against nature and perpetuates harmful ideas for the Jewish people,” Nacua said in a statement.
