LA Prosecutors Launch Investigation into Puka Nacua Alleged Biting Incident

Prosecutors are currently investigating claims against Rams player Puka Nacua, who is accused of biting a woman during a New Year’s Eve outing.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office confirmed to The California Post on Wednesday that they have received the case and are in the process of reviewing it.

Details regarding the incident remain scarce at this time.

This week, Madison Atiabi, 24, filed both a restraining order request and a lawsuit, alleging that Nacua menaced her during a night out with friends in Los Angeles on December 31, 2025.

Atiabi claimed that she and a friend attended a dinner in Century City, where Nacua and others were present, and stated that the Rams player quickly made her feel uneasy.

“Nacua became intoxicated and was acting strange and ‘touchy feely’ with the women at the dinner,” Atiabi wrote in her suit against Nacua on Wednesday.

“While at dinner, and in the presence of (Atiabi) and others,” the lawsuit stated, “(Nacua) made an unprovoked antisemitic statement, ‘F—k all the Jews.”

Atiabi said she’s Jewish and the remark made her feel “uncomfortable and emotionally distressed.”

A short time later, Atiabi claimed Nacua got in the back of a Sprinter van with her and her girlfriend and became “physically aggressive and sexually provocative.”

She alleged Nacua then chomped down on her girlfriend’s finger, before he bit Atiabi’s shoulder and left “a circular imprint of his teeth on her body,” causing her injury and harm.

In her request for a restraining order against Nacua that was filed on Tuesday, Atiabi alleged she went to cops over the issue on Jan. 2 and stated she expected prosecutors to hit Nacua with criminal charges soon.

Atiabi’s request for her restraining order against 24-year-old Nacua was temporarily denied, with an April 14 hearing pending.

In her lawsuit, Atiabi stated she was seeking, among other things, “general and compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial” from Nacua as well as “special damages including medical expenses, past and future, in an amount to be proven at trial.”

Nacua, through his attorney Levi McCathern, has denied Atiabi’s allegations, saying in a statement to TMZ the whole ordeal is nothing more than a shakedown attempt.

“Puka denies these allegations in the strongest possible terms,” McCathern said.
