UPDATE — 2/18/25, 11:30 a.m. ET: Seven additional massage therapists have accused Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of sexually inappropriate behavior.

The new accusers claim Tucker, 35, exposed himself during massages, brushed massage therapists’ thighs and, in one case, left ejaculate on the massage table after his session, in a story published Sunday, February 16, in The Baltimore Banner.

Tucker has now been accused of misconduct by 16 massage therapists in total. He previously denied the accusations made by six individuals in a January 2025 story in the Banner. After the story was published, three more individuals came forward with similar allegations.

The kicker has yet to respond to the latest accusations.

Original story below:

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker denied accusations of sexual misconduct.

“The allegations in The Baltimore Banner article about me are unequivocally false,” Tucker, 35, wrote in a lengthy X statement shared on Thursday, January 30.

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism.”

Several hours earlier, The Baltimore Banner reported that six massage therapists accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior. The employees claimed that Tucker exposed himself during visits to a series of four high-end spas and wellness centers in Baltimore. Several of the therapists said that they ended his sessions early and refused to work with him again. Tucker was also allegedly banned from returning to two of the sites.

“I have never 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,” Tucker stated. “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.”

According to Tucker, the events at the wellness centers were “deliberately misconstrued.”

“I have always made a conscious effort to be considerate and respectful in all of the interactions with the community that I love so much,” he continued in his statement. “It is devastating for me to learn that anyone would feel I was offensive in any way. I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during or after a professional bodywork treatment session.”

Tucker added, “I would never intend to offend or hurt anyone, ever. As a matter of principle, I respect when individuals come forward to report misconduct of any kind. I support a process that allows claims to be properly investigated. But, for the sake of myself and my family, I cannot allow false claims to go unchallenged. These allegations are false and incredibly hurtful to both me, and more importantly, my family.”

Tucker married wife Amanda Bass Tucker in 2015, one year before they welcomed son Easton. Bass Tucker, who maintains a private Instagram account, has not publicly addressed the allegations against her spouse.

Tucker has been a placekicker for the Ravens since May 2012. A spokesperson for the team told The Baltimore Banner that, “We take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.”
