LA prosecutors investigating Puka Nacua biting allegations

Prosecutors are looking into allegations that Rams star Puka Nacua bit a woman during a New Year’s Eve night out.

“We have received the matter,” a spokesperson for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office confirmed to The California Post on Wednesday, “and it is under review.”

No further details surrounding the case were released.

In two separate court filings this week — an application for a restraining order and a lawsuit — 24-year-old Madison Atiabi alleged Nacua terrorized her while they were out in Los Angeles with a group of friends on Dec. 31, 2025.

Atiabi alleged that she and a girlfriend attended a dinner in Century City that Nacua and others were at, and she said the Rams receiver quickly made her uncomfortable.

“Nacua became intoxicated and was acting strange and ‘touchy feely’ with the women at the dinner,” Atiabi wrote in her suit against Nacua on Wednesday.

“While at dinner, and in the presence of (Atiabi) and others,” the lawsuit stated, “(Nacua) made an unprovoked antisemitic statement, ‘F—k all the Jews.”

Atiabi said she’s Jewish and the remark made her feel “uncomfortable and emotionally distressed.”

A short time later, Atiabi claimed Nacua got in the back of a Sprinter van with her and her girlfriend and became “physically aggressive and sexually provocative.”

She alleged Nacua then chomped down on her girlfriend’s finger, before he bit Atiabi’s shoulder and left “a circular imprint of his teeth on her body,” causing her injury and harm.

In her request for a restraining order against Nacua that was filed on Tuesday, Atiabi alleged she went to cops over the issue on Jan. 2 and stated she expected prosecutors to hit Nacua with criminal charges soon.

Atiabi’s request for her restraining order against 24-year-old Nacua was temporarily denied, with an April 14 hearing pending.

In her lawsuit, Atiabi stated she was seeking, among other things, “general and compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial” from Nacua as well as “special damages including medical expenses, past and future, in an amount to be proven at trial.”

Nacua, through his attorney Levi McCathern, has denied Atiabi’s allegations, saying in a statement to TMZ the whole ordeal is nothing more than a shakedown attempt.

“Puka denies these allegations in the strongest possible terms,” McCathern said.
