Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice finds himself in the spotlight for troubling reasons once again. Following a six-game suspension in 2025 due to a serious car crash in Dallas, Rice is now facing new allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones. She has accused him of domestic violence, revealing years of abuse in a heartfelt Instagram post.
Jones, who shares two children with Rice, described a history of controlling behavior, physical abuse, and neglect. She recounted incidents where Rice allegedly damaged her property and physically harmed her, even during pregnancy.
The situation escalated on February 18, when TMZ reported that Jones filed a lawsuit against Rice, seeking over $1 million for repeated assault over a 19-month period. The lawsuit details a disturbing pattern of behavior, including physical harm that resulted in significant injuries.
Despite these allegations, Rice is currently set to play in Week 1 for the Chiefs. However, the fanbase is vocal about their displeasure. Many are calling for his removal from the team and even the league, emphasizing that such behavior should not be tolerated, regardless of his talent.
The Chiefs organization is aware of the situation and is in communication with the NFL, but they have not made any further comments. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Chiefs will handle Rice's status for the 2026 season.
