Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice’s off-the-field legal issues continued on Monday, this time with domestic violations allegations against him.

The lawsuit alleges that, in December 2023, Rice "strangled" Jones at their shared home in Victory Park, Texas, and he "continued to repeatedly assaulted [sic] Dacoda Jones over the court of their relationship through July 2025."

"Defendant Rice has grabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit, and headbutted Ms. Jones, as well as hit her with inanimate objects," the lawsuit alleges. "Additionally, he has engaged in other violent and abusive behaviors towards Ms. Jones, including throwing objects, destroying property, punching walls, and breaking furniture, as well as locking her out in the middle of the night. Many of these behaviors occurred while Ms. Jones was pregnant.

"As a direct and proximate cause of Rashee Rice's assaults on Dacoda Jones, she has endured numerous physical injuries and significant pain and suffering."
