Jones has accused Rice of domestic abuse over the eight years they were together.

Jones posted multiple photos on Instagram on Wednesday showing bruises and cuts all over her body. She also shared pictures of property damage, which she alleges was caused by Rice. Jones also accused the Chiefs WR of hurting her while she was pregnant.
