Rashee Rice Files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy After Multi‑Million‑Dollar Crash Liabilities

The filing makes public large civil judgments and fee arrangements that could require liquidation of nonexempt assets to pay crash victims.

Overview

  • Rice filed for Chapter 7 in the Northern District of Texas on Wednesday, listing about $677,054 in assets and more than $3.2 million in debts with some reports citing $3.45 million.
  • The bankruptcy lists over $2.1 million tied to civil suits from the March 2024 Dallas crash and notes at least one civil judgment and settlement remain unpaid.
  • Rice disclosed his Super Bowl LVIII ring and deferred compensation among assets and used the ring as collateral in a legal‑fee arrangement with his attorney.
  • Plaintiff lawyers say the Chiefs have been garnishing Rice’s paychecks to satisfy a roughly $1 million judgment for crash victim Kathryn Kuykendall while other claims remain disputed.
  • Rice’s criminal plea, a 30‑day jail term served this year for a probation violation, and a six‑game NFL suspension are already part of the record and the bankruptcy process will determine how remaining civil claims are resolved.
