Nacua Faces Assault Allegations, Rehab Amid Lawsuit

An anti-Semitic remark during a group dinner on December 31, she filed a civil lawsuit claiming assault, battery, and gender violence, but so far no criminal charges have been brought against him. The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office is still reviewing the misdemeanor complaint, which could mean up to one year in jail or a $1,000. Meanwhile, Nakua's team says he's voluntarily entered a treatment facility for personal growth and better performance, a move he made before the lawsuit hit.
