Justin Tucker’s wife breaks her silence after Ravens star is accused of sexual misconduct by 16 women
Justin Tucker’s wife Amanda insists she ‘fully supports’ her husband and ‘believes’ the Ravens kicker has been wrongly accused of sexual misconduct
Sixteen massage therapists – from across eight spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area – have made allegations against the married NFL star.
Tucker denies wrongdoing and, in a statement to Outkick, his wife confirmed she is standing by him.
‘The false allegations against Justin have caused so much hurt to our family. I believe my husband, and I love and support him fully.’
Last week, it was reported that NFL investigators visited Baltimore to interview massage therapists who have accused the Ravens kicker of sexually inappropriate conduct.
Among the allegations leveled against Tucker are that he repeatedly – and deliberately – exposed his erect genitals.

Two therapists say he brushed them with his penis. More than once, meanwhile, the kicker is accused of leaving what appeared to be ejaculate on the massage table.
The 35-year-old married Amanda Bass in 2015 and the pair have one child together. The NFL kicker is also a practicing Catholic and has spoken regularly about his faith.
Tucker reiterated his denials on Tuesday night, telling Outkick: ‘I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session, nor have I ever been told I am unwelcome at any massage therapy provider. These claims are simply not true.’
Earlier this week, Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta spoke out on the future of the kicker in light of the ‘serious and concerning’ allegations.
Speaking at the NFL Combine, DeCosta refused to rule out terminating the player’s contract.
‘The allegations are serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning,’ he said.
‘I think we’re fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We’ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can, and we’ll make our decisions based on that.’
DeCosta later added that he had met with Tucker, but declined to share the specifics of the conversation.
