Overview
- Ex-partner Dacoda Nichole posted an Instagram thread alleging years of physical and emotional abuse, sharing photos that appeared to show injuries and home damage.
- Kansas City issued a brief statement saying it is aware of the social-media allegations and is in communication with the NFL, declining further comment.
- As of publication, no arrests or new legal filings have been reported in connection with the claims, and Rice has not publicly responded.
- Rice’s attorney noted his client has not been arrested or charged for domestic violence, and a family member publicly disputed parts of Nichole’s account.
- The accusations surface after Rice’s 2024 guilty plea in a Dallas crash and a six-game suspension, and analysts expect an NFL review under the personal conduct policy.
