Justin Tucker allegations: Three new massage therapists accuse Ravens kicker of inappropriate behavior

Earlier this week, The Baltimore Banner released an alarming report Thursday alleging Justin Tucker was involved in “inappropriate behavior” with multiple female massage therapists.

On Saturday, three additional massage therapists accused the Baltimore Ravens kicker. According to The Baltimore Banner, one of the additional accusers “said he stroked her inner thigh during a massage and left what she believed to be ejaculate on the table.”

That brings the total to nine massage therapists from five high-end spas and wellness centers have sharing their accounts with The Baltimore Banner regarding Tucker, putting his immediate and long-term NFL future in serious jeopardy.

In the meantime, Tucker has released a strong rebuke of The Banner report, calling the allegations “unequivocally false,” via a statement on social media.

“The allegations in The Baltimore Banner article about me are unequivocally false,” Tucker’s statement released over X/Twitter read. “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.”

Before Saturday’s additional report, The Baltimore Banner cited six massage therapists who claimed Tucker allegedly exposed his genitals, including brushing against at least two of the therapists, and allegedly leaving what they believed was “ejaculate on the massage table” after three of his treatments, according to the Banner.

Multiple therapists alleged Tucker’s behavior “was so egregious that they ended his sessions early or refused to work on him again,” per the Banner, and at least two spas banned him after the fact.

Justin Tucker: Baltimore Banner’s report ‘desperate tabloid fodder’

“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,” Tucker’s statement continued. “It is no surprise that the paper’s interactions with me were marked by journalistic failures at every turn.

“When I first learned that the newspaper was writing this article, they refused to reveal the full claims they were planning to make against me. It wasn’t until I was forced to hire the leading defamation law firm in the U.S. to write to the paper that they finally revealed what they were planning on writing. Then, when they did finally provide some of this information, they gave me next to no time to provide a response. It is clear why — they had no interest in what I (or anyone else) had to say.”

The Baltimore Banner says it began investigating Tucker’s alleged behavior after receiving a tip on Jan. 9, and spoke with six massage therapists that recounted “troubling firsthand experiences” with Tucker between 2012-2016, his first few seasons in the NFL following a successful collegiate career with the Texas Longhorns.

Moreover, Tucker’s attorneys denied the allegations of inappropriate behavior to the Banner, describing them as “speculative and impossible to prove,” while also denying the Ravens kicker has been banned from the two spas in question.

Both the Baltimore Ravens and NFL declined comment to the Banner. It remains to be seen where Justin Tucker goes from here, and the football world will simply have to let the investigation play out, it seems.
