Well, folks, this is a story that no one saw coming. Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, widely regarded as one of the greatest kickers in NFL history, is now at the center of a scandal that could seriously impact his career.
Six women have come forward with allegations of inappropriate behavior during massage therapy sessions—claims that Tucker has swiftly and “unequivocally” denied.
Now, let’s break this down. The allegations span from Tucker’s rookie season in 2012 all the way through 2016. According to “The Baltimore Banner”, the women—who remain anonymous—allege that Tucker repeatedly acted inappropriately during sessions.
Some claim he requested massages near his pelvic region while having an erection, while others accuse him of intentionally exposing himself. Two of the women even say he made physical contact with them, while three say they found what appeared to be bodily fluids left behind on the massage table.
It doesn’t stop there. The “Banner” reports that multiple therapists were so disturbed by Tucker’s alleged behavior that they cut sessions short or refused to work with him again. Two Baltimore-area spa businesses even confirmed that they banned Tucker after receiving complaints.
For his part, Tucker is standing firm in his denial. He released a statement calling the allegations “unequivocally false” and insisted he has “never” been accused of misconduct before.
He claims he was never asked to leave a session or told he was unwelcome at any business. He also suggested that the “Banner” had taken “innocuous” moments and twisted them into something far more serious.
But here’s where things could get even more complicated—Tucker may now face discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The league has already stated that it is taking the allegations seriously and will investigate. Meanwhile, the Ravens have also acknowledged the situation and are monitoring developments.
This is a stunning turn for a player who has been a model of consistency and excellence on the field. Tucker, 35, is a seven-time Pro Bowler, owns the NFL record for the longest field goal at 66 yards, and boasts the highest field goal percentage in league history. He’s been a key piece of the Ravens’ success for over a decade, including their Super Bowl run in 2012.
But now, his legacy is at risk. If these allegations hold weight, his reputation—and possibly his career—could take a major hit. If they don’t, this will go down as a serious test of public perception and the ever-intensifying scrutiny placed on professional athletes. Either way, the NFL world will be watching closely as this unfolds.
