The Kansas City Chiefs are aware of allegations of domestic violence against wide receiver Rashee Rice made by his ex-girlfriend on social media.
“The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League,” the Chiefs said in a statement. “We have no further comment at this time.”
The team is aware of the accusations and is in communication with the NFL office. Rice, who recently completed his third season in the NFL, also has not addressed the allegations publicly after Dacoda Nichole Jones, Rice’s ex-girlfriend posted on her Instagram account Wednesday afternoon photos that show bruises and wounds on multiple parts of her body, alleging abuse for numerous years.
Jones does not name Rice or anyone else in the post, but she says that the person who abused her is the father of her children. Rice has two children with Jones. The Chiefs also did not specify that the allegations involve Rice. As of Wednesday night, Jones has yet to file a police report of domestic violence in Overland Park, Kansas, or in Dallas, the two places mentioned in her post where she says abuse occurred.
Rice previously served a six suspension for his involvement in a fatal car crash in 2024 and received a five year probation and 30 days jail time as part of the legal consequences. Despite these off-field issues, Rice has been a key contributor to the Chiefs’ offense, particularly in his rookie season when he helped the team win a Super Bowl.
