In a statement, Tucker reiterated that he has never acted inappropriately before, during, or after any professional bodywork session. He also emphasized that no massage therapy provider has ever informed him that he was unwelcome. His response mirrors previous comments he made last month on social media and through his attorney, maintaining his stance against the allegations.
In his latest statement, first published by OutKick on Wednesday, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker reiterated that he never intended to disrespect, cross boundaries, or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Expressing regret, Tucker stated that it devastates him to think that any massage therapist he worked with may have felt disrespected or undervalued. He also offered an apology to anyone who felt otherwise, maintaining his stance against the allegations.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Banner reported that seven more massage therapists have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior, bringing the total number of accusers to 16. The allegations, which span from Tucker’s rookie season in 2012 to 2016, include claims that he exposed himself and inappropriately touched some therapists.
