Almost a month after the Baltimore Banner first reported that Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by six massage therapists, he has finally publically responded for the first time.
Tucker and his wife Amanda provided exclusive statements to OutKick, denying that he ever acted inappropriately with a massage therapist and claiming that all allegations against him are false.

I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session, nor have I ever been told I am unwelcome at any massage therapy provider,” said Tucker via OutKick. “These claims are simply not true.”

Since that initial report, more massage therapists have made similar claims against Tucker, bringing the total number to 16 across eight different spas. All of them accuse Tucker of engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior during massages between 2012 and 2016. Allegations range from claims that he intentionally and repeatedly exposed his genitals, brushed two therapists with his exposed penis, and left ejaculate on the massage table following the session. Two spas have said they have banned the Ravens’ kicker from their facilities.

The NFL is investigating the claims and speaking with some accusers, per ESPN. The Ravens have said the allegations are “serious and concerning,” but they will wait for the results of that investigation before making any decisions about Tucker’s future with the franchise.

“The false allegations against Justin have caused so much hurt to our family. I believe my husband, and I love and support him fully,” Amanda said in a statement.
