Chiefs Say They’re Aware of Domestic Violence Allegations Linked to Rashee Rice

The team notified the league following an Instagram post by the mother of his children alleging years of abuse with injury photos.

Overview

  • Dacoda Nichole Jones posted multiple images on Instagram alleging years of physical and emotional abuse by the father of her children.
  • Jones did not name Rashee Rice, though outlets note she shares two children with him and showed bruises and home damage in the photos.
  • The Chiefs said they are aware of the social media allegations and are in communication with the NFL, declining further comment.
  • As of late Wednesday, no police report or criminal charges had been filed in Kansas or Texas related to the claims, and Rice had not publicly responded.
  • Under the NFL personal conduct policy the league can investigate regardless of criminal charges, and Rice previously pleaded guilty in a 2024 Dallas crash case and served a six-game suspension in 2025.
