Justin Tucker is facing some troubling sexual misconduct allegations, but the Baltimore Ravens kicker wasted no time vehemently defending himself.

In a story that was published by The Baltimore Banner on Thursday, six different massage therapists who worked at spas in the Baltimore area alleged Tucker of “inappropriate sexual behavior,” taking place between 2012-16.

Five of the six female massage therapists say Tucker “asked them to massage his pelvic region or inner thighs while he had an erection,” according to the report. Two of the therapists accused Tucker of brushing against them with his exposed penis.

Shortly after the story was published, Tucker issued a lengthy statement calling the allegations “unequivocally false.” The 35-year-old also ripped The Baltimore Banner for publishing “desperate tabloid fodder.”

The allegations against Tucker are similar to those that led to Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson being suspended in 2022.

Tucker just finished his 13th NFL season, all of which have been spent with the Ravens. He is one of the best kickers in league history, though the seven-time Pro Bowl selection had some uncharacteristic struggles this year.
