Baltimore Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker had more allegations of inappropriate conduct surface this past weekend.
The accusations continue to mount.
Seven more massage therapists have come forward with allegations of inappropriate behavior against Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, bringing the total number of accusers to 16. The latest report, published by the Baltimore Banner on Sunday, details similar claims to those previously made—allegations of Tucker exposing himself, making unwanted contact, and leaving bodily fluids on massage tables. The reported incidents span from 2012 to 2016. For at least one of the women in Sunday’s report, the resurfacing of these allegations has been deeply traumatic. She told the Banner that she suffered a panic attack after reading the first wave of accusations.
Written in the Baltimore Banner:
The seven new accusers include women who say Tucker acted inappropriately at some of the city’s most luxurious spas, including The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel and the Baltimore Spa & Salon at the Ritz-Carlton Residences, which has since closed and been replaced with a new spa.
Their allegations are largely similar to those of the women who came forward earlier, including that he had an erection for most of the massage, intentionally and repeatedly exposed his genitals, and brushed some of the therapists’ thighs with his fingers. One of the seven new women said he left what appeared to be ejaculate on the massage table after his session.
Tucker Has Yet to Comment Publicly
Tucker has yet to publicly address the latest accusations. His representatives declined to comment to the Banner, instead pointing to his initial Jan. 30 statement, in which he denied any wrongdoing. In that statement, Tucker said he had “never before been accused of misconduct of any kind” and maintained that he had “never acted inappropriately before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session.”
“This week, [attorneys for Tucker] also provided a sworn declaration from the owner of Baltimore Spa & Salon saying she never received complaints about him or suspected he had engaged in any misconduct,” the Banner report said. “The therapists from that spa said they did not report his behavior to their supervisors because they feared they would lose their jobs.”
We’re beyond critical mass with Justin Tucker. Ravens need to publicly and forcefully address this.

The NFL Has Another Serious Problem on Thier Hands
The NFL acknowledged the allegations but said it was unaware of them until Banner’s initial report at the end of January. The league has stated it is now looking into the matter.
The situation echoes the case of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who faced over 20 allegations of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. In 2022, the NFL suspended Watson for 11 games and fined him $5 million. Though Watson has consistently denied wrongdoing, he reached confidential settlements with many of his accusers.
How long are Ravens gonna stand by their man? Disgusting look for them and him. Newsflash: there is no widespread campaign between citizens and media to bring down a megalomaniac who kicks balls for a living. Quite a zero tolerance policy they allegedly have.

Tucker, 35, has been a fixture in Baltimore since signing as an undrafted rookie in 2012. He has built a Hall of Fame-worthy résumé, earning five All-Pro selections and becoming the most accurate kicker in NFL history. However, his on-field performance dipped in 2024—his 73% field goal conversion rate was the lowest of his career, a significant drop from his previous standard of excellence.
As the investigation unfolds, Tucker’s future—both with the Ravens and in the league—remains uncertain. The accusations continue to surface, and the spotlight only grows brighter.
