The news has sparked strong reactions: NFL star Rashee Rice, accused of assaulting his pregnant partner, is now facing a civil lawsuit filed in Dallas, Texas.

According to the complaint filed this week, the player's former partner is seeking $1 million in damages for what she describes as “severe and permanent injuries.” The court document details episodes of alleged physical abuse spanning an 18-month period. It is alleged that some incidents occurred while the plaintiff was pregnant.
The lawsuit also mentions violent acts and acts of property destruction. Previous social media posts showing apparent injuries had already attracted attention, but did not explicitly name an attacker at the time.
A case now under review by the NFL
In response to these accusations, the lawyer for Rasheed Rice told ESPN that the complainant had previously signed an affidavit stating that the player had not hit her. The defense says it wants to let the legal process run its course, with no further comment at this time.
A spokesperson for the National Football League confirmed that the case was “under review.” The league has a personal conduct policy that allows it to impose sanctions regardless of the outcome of civil or criminal proceedings. For their part, the Chiefs have not publicly commented on the situation at the time of writing.
This case comes as Rice remains an important part of the Kansas City offense.
A Super Bowl winner in his rookie season, he had established himself as a reliable and promising target on the team.
It should be noted that these allegations are the subject of a civil lawsuit and that no judgment has been rendered at this stage. As in any proceeding of this type, the facts will have to be examined by the competent court. In the meantime, the media and sporting impact could be significant, both for the player and his organization.
