Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua believes this offseason included the “darkest times" in his life. Nacua, in an interview with Netflix's Elle Duncan that aired prior to his club's season-opening game against the San Francisco 49ers, addressed some of the things that he believes contributed to those dark times -- which included an incident that resulted in a civil lawsuit that is still pending. My son is 10 months old, and navigating that co-parenting relationship with his mother, I would kind of isolate myself to feel, like, the weight of all the issues and things that I have was stuck on my shoulders and not being willing to ask for help.
I was never one to share my fears, my worries. I was always finding different ways to escape, I guess, from that tension or that stress. Just kind of drowning myself, so that the issues and the stress that I was feeling never had the opportunity to be addressed,” Nacua said.
According to ESPN, Atiabi alleges that Nacua made an "unprovoked antisemitic statement" and bit her on the shoulder during a New Year's Eve gathering. The suit cites gender violence, assault and battery, and negligence.
