That doesn’t even make sense

Got cut and then 10-game suspension from the NFL for sexually harassing over a dozen massage therapists in Baltimore over a couple years, even as a Ravens fan i have to say he stinks majorly and is now a big smudge on some of the biggest moments in franchise history

Pretty much the same thing actually, but way less accusers

In January 2025, The Baltimore Banner published first-hand testimonies from six massage therapists accusing Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior from 2012 to 2016, alleging that he had intentionally exposed his genitals, brushed his penis on some of the therapists, and left semen on the massage table after three of his treatments. In interviews, several therapists said that Tucker’s behavior led them to end his sessions early or refused to work on him again, and two spas banned him from returning. Attorneys representing Tucker denied the accusations detailed in the Banner’s report, calling them speculative and “impossible to prove”, as well as denying that Tucker was banned from the two spas and that he ever ejaculated at a spa. His attorneys also directed *The Baltimore Banner* to more than a dozen massage therapists Tucker worked with—the *Banner* reached out to eleven and received responses from four, all of which described positive experiences with Tucker—and provided emails showing that one of the spas he was reportedly banned from was “actively inviting him back for additional appointments”.

Another ten massage therapists came forward with accusations against Tucker after the *Banner* published their first story, including one who alleged that Tucker had stroked her inner thigh during a massage and left ejaculate on the table.

Say hi to Kobe when you get there

I am 47 years old. I was mid 20s when that went down.

He got dragged in the media for a few months, and in public opinion for about the same amount of time.

He may have lost some endorsements, but within a year, year and a half at most , people didnt really care

I think it’s a Dave Chappell bit

Its a dave chappelle joke

Mmmm sure

Comments like this remind me how confidently misinformation gets repeated on Reddit.

Kobe was charged with sexual assault, not rape. And the statement he made as part of settling the civil case was not an admission of guilt. Those are important legal distinctions.

If you’re going to speak on a topic like this, it’s worth understanding the relevant facts and terminology first.

she had 6 dudes jizz in her and wanted to do the same bs to other celebs

Fighting in court up to the end is still a lot of money. Very few civil cases go all the way to the end because of the costs. Its almost always cheaper to settle quietly than to try and fight it out to an actual verdict. The PR hit from settle isn’t any different than the accusations really so settling is really just so you don’t waste a ton of money on an outcome you can’t predict.

Kobe settled out of court after changing his story from never having had sex with her to admitting it but saying he thought he had consent.

That’s because Reddit isn’t a court of law. A random person doesn’t have to think someone is innocent until proven guilty.

Youre conflating at-will employees and collective bargained/union contract employees, where the NBA players are the latter. If you have a union-backed contract job, you can bet your ass theyre gonna wait until the verdict.

At will employees get fired because their contributions and the consequences of their firing dont overcome the optics. Optics are oftentimes more important than keeping a potential press headache employed, regardless of guilt.

You fire a collective bargained employee with this timing? Youre in for a lawsuit of he’s innocent.

He wasn’t arrested though. So yes, it’s a horrible allegation and should be investigated, but Walmart employees don’t have millions of dollars to settle allegations that impact their reputation with millions.

I sincerely hope it’s NOT true, but if it is true, then he should be absolutely punished for his actions.

Unfortunately this will likely end in a settlement and we won’t know either way.

What we do know is that he had an affair with this person and he’s a shitty person, but rushing to judgment without evidence is usually a bad idea in my experience.

Totally true, and a fair statement.

Court of public opinion has always shown to be more accurate for sure.

Sure, but why would you “morally” make a decision based on very little knowledge?

True and fair.

No, but the phrasing of the commment i replied to is dismissive of this tenet of the law.

She may very well be telling the truth, but we need to wait to see what the courts decide.

If it gets that far.

I’ll have you know professional athletes have a terrible reputation for sexual assault.

What if…. I’m lying

I mean two of the top comments on this post are people saying that they either forgot or didn’t realize he had accusations. Their point is that it doesn’t seem like his name has been ruined

and all of those proven rapists at one point were unproven rapists, at which point did you also think “wow this is libel and slander”

Nope but you should always presume innocent until proven guilty. Especially in situations like this. The worst about about the women’s right make embers was when a few select people that we don’t claim got people to think that you should “believe all women”, no you shouldn’t as they lie at the same rate as men. You should however take their accusations seriously which was the message before it was hijacked by crazies.

No. I’m saying that all statements say more about you than anything else. Not that all statements are to be believed.

Her name was Moriah Mills (ex adult film star) and she lit him up on Twitter with all kinds of wild claims.

Most women would not recognize zion williamson on the street. They would assume he maybe plays basketball because he is tall but thats it.

he’s a trick , but i don’t think this is true, this guy was smashing and tricking for box so much , why would he need to SA , it doesn’t make any sense , he was with his babymom’s, Moriah mills ,and other countless women, if one women wasn’t giving him , he had more than enough access.

There is something wrong with me. My first thought after reading this was of course he wouldn’t have sex with a go pro attached to his head. That might kill her.

Your comment is shit, your arguments are shit. You are trying way too hard just for the sake of being contrarian.

As if the cannot be more than one basketball related topic being discussed the whole year long on a basketball subreddit.

TF are they doing then????

Simma

This guy gets it!

He didn’t delete his account, the comment got removed by a mod FYI.

100% were. Why would I make that shit up?

There’s no evidence that you’re not a serial killer so I’ll choose to believe that you are

You said there was no assault. How do you know that?

he definetly was, i think he was smashing some white girl
