Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker released a statement to Outkick.com published on Wednesday maintaining he did not act in an inappropriate fashion during massage sessions and that allegations made against him are untrue.
Tucker has been accused of inappropriate conduct by 16 massage therapists from eight Baltimore-area spas between his 2012 rookie year and 2016, claims that are currently being investigated by the NFL.
"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," Tucker's statement read, in part. "These claims are simply not true. Throughout the last four weeks, I have spent countless hours replaying every interaction I have had with bodywork professionals over the last thirteen years. I can assure whoever is reading this that I have never intended to disrespect anyone, cross any boundary, or make anyone feel uncomfortable in any way whatsoever. 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. 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."
Allegations against Tucker came to light on Jan. 30 when The Baltimore Banner published an article in which six massage therapists claimed Tucker exhibited in appropriate behavior.
Tucker's first denial of the allegations came in a statement later that day on social media.
His latest statement comes a day after Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta told reporters at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that the team was waiting for results from the league's investigation before deciding on how to proceed. DeCosta, in the first public comments from a member of the franchise, called the allegations "serious and concerning."
Tucker, 35, has been with the Ravens for the duration of his career, beginning in 2012 as an undrafted free agent out of Texas, and is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection.
