Josh Jacobs
Their accounts reportedly described separate incidents from 2021 and 2022, raising more questions about the Packers star just as he was getting back to football. One woman alleged that Jacobs slapped her during an incident in January 2022, according to the police records. Another woman described an alleged incident from April 2021. A third woman came forward with allegations involving an incident in May 2022. Jacobs later pleaded no contest to both charges on September 10. He was also placed on the NFL’s Commissioner’s Exempt List and missed the first six games of the 2026 season.
Because she remained friends with Jacobs and was afraid that nobody would believe her, she reportedly explained that she had not contacted police earlier. Because she was not a US citizen at the time, she also reportedly explained why she had stayed silent for so long, saying she feared deportation. The three women came forward while authorities were investigating the battery case involving Jacobs and his former girlfriend, according to newly released police records.
She also reportedly told authorities that she suffered bruising and swelling around her ribs. She also claimed he threw her phone into a swimming pool, grabbed her by the hair and pinned her down. The woman further alleged that he threatened to kill her. She claimed Jacobs grabbed her arms, pushed her against a wall and threw her belongings outside. She claimed Jacobs grabbed her by the head and neck, dragged her, scratched her chest and took her phone. He eventually returned to the Packers in October, with his football career seemingly getting back on track. However, these newly surfaced allegations could bring renewed attention to his situation.
However, the earlier police response reportedly documented no visible injuries.
Meanwhile, the NFL has confirmed that it will review the newly surfaced allegations as part of its ongoing investigation. His attorneys have also pointed to the investigation that resulted in only two misdemeanor charges in the May case. For Jacobs, the timing could hardly be more complicated. After missing six games and making his return to the field, the Packers running back is once again facing questions away from football. What happens next could depend on what the league finds as it reviews the additional allegations.
Jacobs’ legal team has pushed back against the latest claims, describing the allegations as old, uncorroborated and previously unreported.
