Allegations Posted on Social Media
The woman, who likewise did not name Rice directly, shared a set of images on social media that appeared to show signs of physical abuse. She did say the individual in question was the parent of her kids, and reports indicate she has two children with Rice, whom the Chiefs selected in the second round.
No official complaints were on file in the Kansas City suburb where the incident is said to have occurred.
The receiver was absent for the first six games of this season due to an NFL suspension for his involvement in instigating a multi-vehicle accident on a Dallas highway that left several individuals hurt. He was given a month of incarceration and probationary supervision after pleading guilty to serious offenses.
Statistically, Rice concluded the season with 53 catches for 571 receiving yards and five touchdowns as the Chiefs went 6-11 and failed to qualify for the postseason for the first occasion in a ten-year span.
