The Kansas City Chiefs are reviewing fresh domestic violence allegations after wide receiver Rashee Rice’s former partner shared images of bruises and property damage on social media.
## Chiefs Respond to Instagram Post
Docada Nichole published the photos on Wednesday, Jan. 7, saying she survived domestic abuse. She did not identify Rice in the caption, but the Chiefs quickly linked the post to their second-year receiver.
Team statement to News Of Los Angeles:
> “The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League. We have no further comment at this time.”
Rice’s Recent Legal History
This is the second off-field incident involving Rice in less than a year:
- April 2024: Street-racing crash in Dallas injured multiple people and damaged six vehicles
- July 2025: Pleaded guilty to two felony charges; received 30 days jail and five years’ probation
- 2025 season: Served six-game NFL suspension before returning to the roster
Rice, 25, was selected by Kansas City in the 2023 draft.
## Key Takeaways
– Allegations surfaced via Instagram; no legal action yet
– Chiefs coordinating with NFL on next steps
– Rice has not spoken publicly and agent did not reply to News Of Los Angeles
The team and league must now decide whether the social-media claims warrant discipline under the NFL’s personal-conduct policy while Rice prepares for the postseason push.
