A woman is seeking a restraining order against Puka Nacua over alleged conduct and comments she says occurred at a New Year’s Eve party.
The NFL player is facing allegations from Madison Atiabi, who claims she was bitten during the gathering and later heard what she describes as an antisemitic remark.
Atiabi filed the request in Los Angeles on Tuesday (March 24), alleging that Nacua harassed her on December 31, 2025. She also claims that at a later point, Nacua and his attorney threatened to damage her reputation through media coverage.
In the filing, Atiabi says the remark she heard at the party was ‘f**k all the Jews’.
In comments to TMZ, Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, denied that Nacua made the antisemitic remark. However, he did acknowledge the 24-year-old bit Atiabi, as well as other people in the group that night.
The request states the two had not met before the party, and Atiabi says she did not know Nacua would be there.
Atiabi alleges Nacua was ‘extremely touchy with the girls and had said ‘F**k all the Jews’ in the course of his conversation when he was at the other side of the table.’ during a meal that evening.
The document further notes that Atiabi is Jewish and was ‘immediately offended and emotionally distressed hearing those words’.
She also alleges that after dinner, she, her girlfriend, Nacua, and others got into a van to travel to a different location.
According to the filing, Nacua then sat between Atiabi and her girlfriend ‘without invitation or consent’ and ‘began behaving in a strange, erratic, and physically intrusive manner [and behaving] unwantedly ‘touchy feely’ with both (Atiabi) and her girlfriend’.
The filing claims he then bit Atiabi girlfriend’s thumb, and later bit Atiabi on her left shoulder, leaving a visible impression, as described in the restraining order request.
Atiabi also states that on March 11 she attended a mediation conference with her attorney, Nacua, and his attorney. In the filing, she alleges that Nacua and his attorney threatened to go to media outlets and make ‘to disseminate false, inaccurate, and/or deliberately exaggerated public statements about the events of December 31, 2025’.
As for the court process, a judge has so far declined to grant the restraining order, writing that ‘based on the totality of the circumstances the court needs more information at a properly noticed hearing prior to issuing any orders’.
A hearing is currently scheduled for April 14.
