Rams star Puka Nacua sued for alleged assault and battery amid accusations he bit woman

The Buffalo Bills have traded a second-round pick for Chicago Bears WR D.J. Moore. Colin Cowherd reacts to the trade and asks if it’s a good deal for both teams.

Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua has been sued for alleged assault and battery by a woman who alleges he bit her on the shoulder on New Year’s Eve and made an antisemitic remark. 

The lawsuit was filed this week in Los Angeles, according to TMZ. The suit also cites gender violence and negligence.

Plaintiff Madison Atiabi and her attorney, Joseph Kar, claim Nacua made an antisemitic exclamation that emotionally distressed her when they were together in Century City. 

She says Nacua bit her and left teeth marks on her shoulder when they were in a van together later in the night, and she claims Nacua also bit her friend’s thumb.

Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, has already strongly denied Nacua made any antisemitic statements. He described the bites as "horseplay."

McCathern, said "the whole claim is nothing more than a shakedown attempt" and that the bite "left nothing more than a temporary mark," according to TMZ.

Nacua previously apologized for performing an "antisemitic" act on a YouTube stream in December. Nacua discussed touchdown celebrations on YouTuber Adin Ross' stream.
