The Kansas City Chiefs have acknowledged recent accusations made on social media against wide receiver Rashee Rice. This comes after his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Nichole Jones, posted serious allegations of domestic violence on Instagram.
In a statement reported by the Kansas City Star, the team said, “The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League. We have no further comment at this time.” The statement did not mention Rice by name.
Jones, who shares two children with Rice, claimed in her post that she endured years of abuse and described her life as “nothing but hell” following their breakup a couple of months ago. As of Thursday morning, Rice had not publicly responded to these allegations.
In her post, Jones shared several images showing bruises and scratches on her body, stating that she was “so tired of protecting his image” and that it was time to prioritize her own well-being and that of her children. She accused Rice of damaging her property, locking her out in cold weather while pregnant, and abandoning her and their children in Kansas.
Jones expressed frustration over Rice”s lack of communication with their sons, writing, “It”s not fair he doesn”t call them. He rather be laid up with hoes.” She further explained that he had left them in Kansas and that she had to plead for financial assistance to relocate to Texas with her kids.
In a report by WFAA, a source close to Rice suggested that Jones”s grievances stem from her anger over his new relationship, labeling her as a disgruntled ex-girlfriend.
This incident follows another troubling event in Rice”s life, where he pleaded guilty to charges related to a high-speed crash in Dallas that resulted in injuries to multiple individuals during the 2024 season. He received a sentence of five years of deferred probation and was ordered to serve 30 days in jail, which he must complete within the probation period. Additionally, Rice faced a six-game suspension connected to this incident and agreed to pay over $1 million to the victims involved in the crash.
The Kansas City Chiefs have reached out to the NFL, as well as to Jones and Rice”s agents, C.J. Laboy, Quincy Peyton, and Alexis Ramos, seeking comments regarding the allegations.
