A pair of old social-media messages about Baltimore Ravens Justin Tucker's conduct have resurfaced after a chilling report accused him of inappropriate advances to massage therapists. Both messages are from 2021, one in January and the other posted in November, put a chilling image into the public eye of how Tucker acted, nearly four years before the hefty allegations became public. The kicker, 35, who has been married to his wife Amanda since 2015, is alleged to have exposed his genitals, brushed two workers with his exposed penis and left what was believed to be ejaculate on massage tables following three of his treatments.

The accusations have been made by therapists who worked on Tucker between 2012 and 2016 at four different high-end spas and wellness centers across the Baltimore region, according to the Baltimore Banner. Social-media sleuths only needed a few hours to find damning messages about Tucker, who has called the claims 'unequivocally false' in a statement. 'Justin Tucker is canceled but it's not my place to provide the reason,' one social-media statement read. 'Let's just say he's been told by many massage places to never come back.'.

A pair of old messages about Baltimore Ravens Justin Tucker's conduct have resurfaced. Both messages are from 2021, one in January and the other posted in November, about him. Tucker has called the claims 'unequivocally false' in a lengthy statement with the NFL aware. 'Justin Tucker must not have received his happy ending that he forced the masseuse to give him this week. Probably because he's banned from every spa in Baltimore,' another post on social media stated.

Two of the spas are said to have banned him from their facilities. Other therapists claimed that Tucker's behavior forced them to cut sessions short, while some refused to work with him again. Tucker is a practicing catholic and vehemently denied the report's accusations against him in a lengthy statement. 'Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism,' Tucker said.

'I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork. I have never received any complaints from a massage therapist, have never been dismissed from a massage therapy or bodywork session, and have never been told that I was not welcome at any spa or other place of business.

'In accusing me of misconduct, the article takes innocuous, or ambiguous, interactions and skews them so out of proportion they are no longer recognizable, and it presents vague insinuations as fact. This is desperate tabloid fodder.'. He added: 'I have always made a conscious effort to be considerate and respectful in all of the interactions with the community that I love so much. It is devastating for me to learn that anyone would feel I was offensive in any way. I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session. I would never intend to offend or hurt anyone, ever.

'As a matter of principle, I respect when individuals come forward to report misconduct of any kind. I support a process that allows claims to be properly investigated. But, for the sake of myself and my family, I cannot allow false claims to go unchallenged. I cannot be any clearer. The kicker has been married to his college sweetheart, Amanda Bass, since 2015. The alleged incident began in 2012 - the year of Tucker's rookie season with the Ravens.

In 2022, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh cited the team's 'zero-tolerance policy'. 'These allegations are false and incredibly hurtful to both me and, more importantly, my family.'. Five of the six women who detailed their experiences to the Banner claimed that the NFL star had asked them to massages him pelvic area or inner thighs while he had an erection. They alleged he would then maneuver his pelvis in a way that would cause the sheets to fall away, either partially or full exposing his genitals.

Two of the therapists, who have all wished to remain anonymous through fear of retaliation from the Ravens organization or fans, alleged that Tucker went as far as to brush them with his exposed penis. On other occasions, three of the women claimed when they returned to the treatment room following their work on Tucker, they discovered 'a large wet spot on the massage table,' which they believed to be ejaculate.

Ojas, an upscale local spa chain on the outskirts of Baltimore, 'immediately terminated' Tucker as a client in 2014 after one of its therapists reported an incident, a spokesperson told the Banner. Tucker played a key role in the Ravens' 2013 Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers. Deshaun Watson was suspended for 11 games following allegations for sexual misconduct. Studio 921, a now-closed center in Locust Point, said that it took similar immediate action to ban Tucker from its premises in order 'to ensure a safe environment for all.' A lawyer for the spa is said to have called Tucker personally to inform him he was no longer able to return.
