Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has issued a new statement denying any inappropriate conduct while receiving professional bodywork treatments. Tucker also expressed regret over the situation and issued a public apology.

“I am deeply devastated to know that anyone I’ve worked with may not have felt respected and valued as a professional, but more importantly, as a person. To anyone who feels otherwise, I am sincerely sorry,” Tucker said in the statement, which was shared by his publicist. “I want to ensure that everyone I interact with feels that I respect and care for them as human beings.”

Recent reports by The Baltimore Banner reveal that 16 massage therapists from eight spas and wellness centers across the Baltimore area have accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta has referred to the allegations as “serious” and “concerning,” and the NFL is actively investigating the matter.

Tucker previously addressed the allegations late last month, asserting that he has never received complaints from massage therapists or been told he was unwelcome at any spa or professional business.

In his latest statement, Tucker described the allegations as “shocking and heart-breaking,” reaffirming his innocence.

“I maintain that I did not act inappropriately at any time during or after a professional bodywork session. I have never been told I was unwelcome at any massage therapy provider. These claims are simply false,” Tucker said. “Over the past four weeks, I have spent countless hours reflecting on every interaction I’ve had with bodywork professionals over the last thirteen years. I assure you, I have never intended to disrespect anyone, cross any boundaries, or make anyone feel uncomfortable in any way.”

Tucker’s statement aims to clarify the situation while reinforcing his commitment to respecting others in all professional and personal interactions.
