[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
Justin Tucker, one of the best NFL kickers to ever play the game, is facing accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior and sexual misconduct brought forth by six massage therapists in Baltimore, Maryland.
The superstar Baltimore Ravens kicker is considered by many to be one of the greatest kickers of all time. Swifties may know him better for his fracas with Travis Kelce last year. He left his gear where Patrick Mahomes was practicing before their game, and Trav tossed it off the football field. His kicking hasn’t been quite the same since, something Taylor Swift fans have attributed to that ol’ Tayvoodoo. But karma is the least of his worries now.
According to a jaw-dropping report by the Baltimore Banner this week, Tucker did a lot worse. He allegedly did some disturbing s**t at multiple Baltimore-area spas.
Per that outlet, Tucker is accused of exposing himself to massage therapists during sessions at spas and rubbing his genitals on them while they were working on his body as professionals. The report even claims that he once left his c*m behind on a massage table after a session. Uh… WTF?!?!

The Banner reports that Tucker is said to have spent time at four luxury spas around Baltimore — and he’s now banned from two of them. In turn, six women spoke to the outlet about the kicker’s alleged behavior. The women claim the incidents occurred between 2012 and 2016 — and they’ve spoken out before. But nobody has EVER believed them when they bring it up! Ugh, that’s all too common…
One therapist, who spoke anonymously to the news outlet, said:
“I’ve told people about this over the years, and they either act like it’s hot goss[ip] or a joke, but it was really degrading.”
Another massage therapist, who would only identify herself to the outlet as J, said she is still traumatized about her interaction with Tucker after nearly a decade. She claimed the kicker showed up for his appointment while decked out in Ravens gear:
“He made it a point to tell me, ‘I’m a kicker. I play for the Ravens.'”
Then, when the session started, she claims he asked her specifically to focus on his butt and inner thighs. OK, fine, whatever. He uses those muscles. But during that work, he allegedly kept exposing himself to her. She recalled:
“I tucked him in like a baby, but he kept repositioning himself so I would brush against [his exposed private parts].”
She recalled thinking at the time:
“That is not normal massage behavior. I did hundreds of massages and I never ever had someone else do that.”
In the end, J says the experience tarnished everything about sports for her — and still has to this day:
“I can’t watch sports anymore. I see his face everywhere.”
Gross…

In response, Tucker has came out swinging — HARD.
For one, he had his legal team share a statement with the Banner in response to their story. His lawyers slammed the allegations in the report as being “impossible to prove,” denied Tucker had ever been banned from the spas, and added:
“Mr. Tucker has never behaved inappropriately during any massage therapy session, and certainly never in the manner described. Any suggestion to the contrary is a fictitious and utterly baseless claim.”
Tucker also released his own long statement on his X (Twitter) account. In it, he wrote a flat-out denial of the accusations against him:
“The allegations in the Baltimore Banner article about me are unequivocally false. Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism. I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork. I have never received any complaints from a massage therapist, have never been dismissed from a massage therapy or bodywork session, and have never been told that I was not welcome at any spa or other place of business.”
While he also added in part:
“In accusing me of misconduct, the article takes innocuous, or ambiguous, interactions and skews them so out of proportion they are no longer recognizable, and it presents vague insinuations as fact. This is desperate tabloid fodder.”
