Puka Nacua's lawyers sent offer to accuser weeks after biting incident: attorney
Key Points:
- Madison Atiabi’s attorney alleges that weeks before suing Rams star Puka Nacua over a New Year’s Eve incident, one of Nacua’s representatives reached out with an offer to "make it all better," leading to an unsuccessful mediation in March 2026.
- Atiabi’s legal filings accuse Nacua of making an antisemitic remark and violently biting her shoulder during a night out, claims that Nacua’s legal team vehemently denies, calling the incident "horseplay" and providing videos to dispute Atiabi’s account.
- Nacua’s attorney threatened to go public and smear Atiabi, which her lawyer condemns as victim blaming and an attempt to divert attention from the alleged physical attack.
- Atiabi filed a restraining order request against Nacua, which was temporarily denied pending a hearing, and has also filed a lawsuit that remains ongoing.
- Both sides maintain contrasting narratives, with Atiabi’s team emphasizing the severity of the incident and Nacua’s team presenting evidence suggesting Atiabi was unbothered during and after the event.
