Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker and his wife Amanda are speaking out after sixteen massage therapists accused the Pro Bowler of sexual misconduct.
Seven additional massage therapists came forward last week, according to reporting by the Baltimore Banner.
The claims detail incidents between 2012 and 2016 at eight Baltimore-area spas, where Tucker allegedly exposed himself and made inappropriate contact.
The Banner has detailed the allegations and claims that at least two of the spas where the accusers worked had banned the record-setting kicker.
Tucker though, insists the allegations are untrue.
“I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session, nor have I ever been told I am unwelcome at any massage therapy provider,” he said in a statement to Outkick. “These claims are simply not true.”
Justin Tucker – The Allegations Against Me Are False
Justin Tucker has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, with legal representatives suggesting any contact or exposure was incidental and expected in a massage parlor.
“It devastates me to know that anyone I have worked with would not have felt respected and valued as a professional, but more importantly as a person, and to anyone who has felt otherwise, I am sorry,” his statement continues.
“I want you to know I am committed to ensuring that everyone I interact with continues to feel that I respect them and care about them as a human being.”
Tucker’s wife, Amanda, is fully standing behind her man against these sexual misconduct allegations.
“The false allegations against Justin have caused so much hurt to our family. I believe my husband, and I love and support him fully,” she said, also in a statement to Outkick.

Facing Investigations
While support from his wife is essential, Justin Tucker’s legal team also provided two sworn declarations from the previous owners of one of the spas that contradict the accusations made against him.
These things will be vital as he faces an investigation by the Ravens and the NFL.
“We take any allegation seriously and will look into the matter,” a league spokesperson said.
“We are aware of the Baltimore Banner’s story regarding Justin Tucker as well as his response,” the Ravens added in a statement. “We take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.”
“Physical therapy and massage therapy are a large part of why I’ve been consistently healthy and available during the football season. In fact, both my wife and I continue to count so many of those professionals as our friends,” Tucker states.
“I absolutely respect the massage therapy profession and more so the individuals who work as massage therapists.”
Tucker has established himself as the NFL’s most accurate kicker, boasting a career field goal percentage of 89.7% through the 2024 season, including a record-setting 66-yard game-winner in 2021.
The seven-time All-Pro and Super Bowl XLVII champion has earned five First-Team All-Pro nods, holds the Ravens’ all-time scoring record with over 2,000 points, and was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
