On April 2nd, Los Angeles Rans wide receiver Puka Nakua is currently in rehab, and his attorney says he checked in well before a woman sued him last month. The suit from Madison Atiabi accuses the 24-year-old star of making an anti-Semitic remark and biting her on the shoulder during a New Year's Eve dinner last year. His lawyer, Levi McCatherne, insists the rehab stint is about improving Nakua's overall behavior, not reacting to the lawsuit. Nakua calls the alleged bites, just horseplay, and denies any anti-Semitic comments happened, pointing to sober witnesses who, back that up. Atiabi, who is Jewish, claims Nakua said something deeply offensive that left her distressed, and he also bit her friend's thumb hard enough to cause. Pain. This comes after Nakua apologized last December for a gesture on a live stream that played into anti-Semitic tropes. On the field, Nakua dominated last season with, a league leading 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10. Touchdowns then added 24 more

grabs for 332 yards and two scores in the playoffs. He's up for a massive contract extension this off-season that can make him one of the NFL's top paid receivers, but the Rams haven't said a word on. Talks yet, leaving everyone watching how this all shakes out. That wraps in a film news today brought to you with AI.
