A strange new twist has added more intrigue to the ongoing situation involving Puka Nacua, with fresh claims from the accuser now circulating. According to the latest version of events, an unexpected interaction allegedly took place while the Los Angeles Rams star was asleep — a detail that has quickly caught attention and sparked debate online. The claim has introduced a new layer to an already complicated story, shifting focus toward the sequence of events leading up to the reported incident. As with previous developments, neither side has fully clarified this specific allegation, leaving fans and observers trying to piece together what actually happened. With each new detail, the narrative seems to evolve — and so does public reaction. But one aspect of this latest claim is what’s generating the most discussion. And it could significantly impact how the situation is ultimately understood.
The Puka Nacua saga continues to get crazier and crazier.
In a video posted by TMZ Sports, a woman in a white ensemble — believed to be Madison Atiabi, who accused Nacua of attacking and biting her on New Year’s Eve — is seen twerking near the Rams star, who is fast asleep in their sprinter van. In the background, Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” can be heard playing.
Per TMZ, the actions occurred after Nacua allegedly bit her in the back.
Madison Atiabi filed a lawsuit against LA Rams Wide Receiver Puka Nacua on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.
Atiabi also said Nacua “collapsed unconscious” in the van for several hours afterward, leading to the actions shown in the video released Wednesday.
Atiabi is currently seeking a restraining order against the star Rams wide receiver for the incident. She also claimed he said “f—k all the Jews” earlier in the night.
Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, denied that the NFL star said the antisemitic remark, but did confirm that the biting occurred. McCathern said the bite happened during “horseplay.”
McCathern described the claims as “an attempt at a money grab” and stated they will be filing a defamation lawsuit in response.
“Let’s be clear about what this case is — and what it is not. This matter is not sexual in nature, nor does it involve any allegation of domestic violence. If it did, the filings would look very different. They do not. It also doesn’t involve any elements of antisemitism. A completely sober witness has stated unequivocally that Puka never made the comments Ms. Atiabi claims,” McCathern said in a statement.
Puka Nacua has been accused of biting and attacking Madison Atiabi.
Once they made their way into the van, Nacua, 24, allegedly sat in between Atiabi and her girlfriend and became “extremely touchy.” Atiabi also claimed he began acting “erratic” and “strange.”
Nacua is also accused of biting Atiabi’s girlfriend’s thumb before sinking his teeth into Atiabi’s left shoulder and scapula, hard enough to “leave a complete circular impression” of this bite mark.
Puka Nacua finished second behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the NFL receiving yards leaderboard last year.
“The bite broke some skin and caused visible injury that was photographed shortly thereafter,” Atiabi wrote in her restraining order request.
Following the incident, Atiabi and her attorney, Nacua, McCathern and Nacua’s “crisis team” had a meeting, in which McCathern apparently threatened to contact TMZ and other outlets to “disseminate exaggerated public statements.” He cited that Atiabi was “sexually promiscuous” and wanted to be bitten by Nacua.
It’s been an eventful few months for the Las Vegas native, who was spotted stumbling and dancing in the street in San Francisco following the Super Bowl, was fined for a scathing referee rant and performed an “antisemitic in nature” dance on a live-streamed podcast.
The events could have major implications on Nacua’s career. He had the best season of his career in 2025, racking up 1,715 receiving yards, second in the league.
Pacua is set to be in line for a major extension next year following Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s record-breaking $168.6 million deal Monday.
