An attorney representing Pukankua has denied a woman’s claim that the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver made profane, anti-Semitic remarks and reportedly downplayed the bite marks he left on her body.
According to TMZ, the woman filed for a temporary restraining order but was denied in connection with an incident that occurred on December 31 during a group outing near Los Angeles’ Century City neighborhood.

She reportedly claimed Nacua said “fuck all the Jews” at dinner, which was allegedly the “first step in an escalating pattern of rude or vulgar, threatening, violent and harassing behavior.”
Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCarten, reportedly said the claim was false and that he had spoken to witnesses who did not hear Nacua make anti-Semitic remarks.
After the meal, the woman claimed she and her friend got into a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van with Nakua and others, where Nakua allegedly became “emotional.” According to TMZ, she claimed Nacua then “dropped his head in [her] His girlfriend’s knees and crotch area, and he bit her thumb hard, causing her to scream in severe pain. “She then said he bit her left shoulder, breaking the skin and leaving a visible bite mark.
TMZ has a photo of a TRO bite mark. The day after the incident, the woman said she went to the police station and filed an incident report.
McCarson reportedly did not deny that the bite marks were caused by his client, instead describing them as the result of “some prank.”

A Los Angeles judge denied the request for a temporary restraining order, but a hearing is scheduled for April 14.
The accusations are the latest off-the-field development for Nacua, who ended last NFL season with a slew of negative press. Most notably, he found himself apologizing for a Dec. 16 live broadcast and promising to do an anti-Semitic touchdown dance.
That was 15 days before the night the woman claims he made anti-Semitic comments.
All of this also comes as Nacua awaits his first big contract with the Rams. He will become a free agent after the 2026 season and could seek a contract comparable to the $42 million per year extension offered to Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
