Rashee Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been accused of multiple instances of domestic violence during the pregnancy of his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones. The allegations, brought forth in a civil lawsuit, detail a series of physical assaults allegedly committed over a year and a half, from 2023 to 2025, during which Jones was pregnant. She claims that these incidents left her with severe and lasting injuries.

The lawsuit outlines these allegations, presenting a grim account of physical attacks including choking, hitting, and other forms of abuse, as Rice allegedly subjected Jones to various forms of violence throughout their relationship. In light of these serious charges, Rice, who has a prior criminal record, denies the allegations, stating that they are untrue.

The implications of this lawsuit extend beyond Rice's personal life, potentially affecting his career in the NFL and image as a professional athlete. With domestic violence being a sensitive issue in sports, the case could also spark discussions about accountability and the NFL's response to violence both on and off the field, contributing to ongoing debates surrounding player conduct and the league's efforts to address such serious allegations.
