Rashee Rice’s girlfriend, Dacoda Nichole broke her silence by posting an emotional message on Instagram, stating that she has suffered through abuse for nearly eight years. She explained that staying quiet for a long time was to protect the NFL star’s public image and reputation, but she has finally reached her breaking point.
She described Rice as being extremely controlling and claimed that he has tried to force her and their children out of their home for no clear reason. Jones alleged that while Rice presents himself to the world as a great father, he actually does the bare minimum for his children and often ignores them.
According to her claims, the abuse was not just emotional but also involved intimidation and financial control. She alleged that there were times she had to beg him for money just to move her and the children to another state.

I’ve dealt with abuse for years, me and this man decided to break up a couple months ago and since then it’s been nothing but hell.”
The Ex-Girlfriend Shared Graphic Evidence of Alleged Multi-Year Abuse
To support her claims, Jones posted a series of disturbing photos on social media that appear to show the physical toll of the alleged abuse. The images included visible bruises and marks on her body, as well as scenes of significant property damage.
In her detailed caption, she listed several specific and frightening incidents. She alleged that Rice once put his hands on her while she was pregnant and, on another occasion, locked her outside in freezing ten-degree weather after a dispute.
The evidence shared online has shocked fans and the public alike. While Rice has not been formally charged with a crime related to these specific posts, the graphic nature of the photos has led many to believe that the situation is very serious.
Kansas City Chiefs and NFL Launch Investigation into Conduct Claims
Following the social media posts, the Kansas City Chiefs released an official statement saying they are aware of the allegations. The team confirmed they are in contact with the NFL to discuss the matter but declined to give further details at this time.
This is not the first time Rice has faced trouble, which has caused many fans to call for his immediate release from the team. He was previously suspended for the first six games of the 2025 season after a high-speed car crash in Dallas that left several people injured.
If the NFL’s investigation finds that the abuse occurred, Rice could face a long suspension or even be banned from the league entirely. For now, the Chiefs are monitoring the situation closely as more information comes to light. The outcome of this case will likely depend on whether formal police reports are filed and what the league’s private investigators find as they look into the evidence provided by Jones.
