His ex, Dacoda Jones, filed the lawsuit in Dallas County District Court on Monday (February 16), per People.
Dacoda claimed she was “physically assaulted by Defendant Rashee Rice at their homes located in Victory Park, Texas, and Lee’s Summit, Missouri” between December 2023 and July 2025.
She said that they left her with “severe and permanent injuries,” and that he “grabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit, and headbutted” her, as well as “[hitting] her with inanimate objects.”
“Additionally, he has engaged in other violent and abusive behaviors towards Ms. Jones, including throwing objects, destroying property, punching walls, and breaking furniture, as well as locking her out in the middle of the night,” the lawsuit reads, and that “many of these behaviors occurred while Ms. Jones was pregnant.”
She is seeking at least $1 million in damages.
An NFL spokesperson said in response that this “remains under review,” via ESPN.
“The club is aware [of the lawsuit] and remains in communication with the National Football League,” the Chiefs added in a statement.
“On October 9th, 2025, well after the parties’ relationship had ended, Ms. Jones stated under penalty of perjury in a sworn Affidavit for Non-Prosecution that ‘Mr. Rice and I had a verbal argument, but he did not punch me.’ We will allow the legal process to run its course and have no further comment at this time,” his attorney, Sean Lindsey, said in a statement to ESPN.
Dacoda claimed she was a victim of domestic violence back in January in a since-deleted post, sharing photos of bruising on her body and alleged damage to her home without naming names at the time.
Rashee previously pled guilty to two third-degree felonies following a March 2024 crash, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years probation.
