Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is facing scrutiny after his ex-girlfriend shared allegations of abuse on social media. The claims, which she detailed in a lengthy Instagram post, brought public attention to Rice. Both the Chiefs and the NFL acknowledged awareness of the allegations but declined further comment.
Rashee Rice’s ex-girlfriend accuses him of domestic violence
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been accused of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, in a social media post on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Jones claimed she “dealt with abuse for years” and has experienced “nothing but hell” since their recent breakup. Although she did not name Rice directly, the context of her statements strongly implied he was the alleged abuser. Jones and Rice share two children, further linking him to the accusations.
Jones posted 14 photos on Instagram that showed cuts to her lip, bruises on her arms and legs, marks on her face, and damage to property. She alleged Rice was “very controlling” and said he broke into her new home, assaulted her while she was pregnant, and locked her outside overnight in 10-degree weather after she caught him cheating. “I’m so tired of keeping quiet l’m so tired of protecting his image,” Jones wrote. “I’ve had ENOUGH!”
The Kansas City Chiefs acknowledged the situation in a statement: “The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League,” but declined further comment and did not mention Rice by name (via PEOPLE).
Jones further alleged Rice destroyed her clothing and shoes, left her with “nothing,” and was not actively parenting their children. She claimed he was “trying to remove me and my kids from our home for now apparent reason.” “It’s time to protect my peace, protect my children and stand up for myself,” she wrote.
Rice has not made any public statement. A person close to Rice told WFAA that Jones is allegedly upset about Rice moving on with a new relationship. Rice is currently serving a five-year deferred probation related to a high-speed crash in Dallas. As part of the sentence, he must also serve 30 days in Dallas County Jail.
