According to the therapists, who requested anonymity, Tucker’s alleged behavior was so appalling that they ended several of his sessions early. Additionally, two spas reportedly banned him from using their facilities in the future.

The women who spoke to The Baltimore Banner about their alleged experiences described their encounters with Tucker as “degrading.”

They also opened up about the massages themselves, adding that Tucker would allegedly request treatment on his pelvic region or inner thighs while visibly aroused.

Two therapists claimed the NFL veteran touched them with his exposed p-nis, while three others claimed they saw what appeared to be ejaculate on the massage table after the football player left.

Several weeks later, in February 2025, seven additional therapists accused the Baltimore player of similar behavior, and one claimed that Tucker made “intense eye contact throughout the massage while exposed.”

“I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session,” he finished.
