Amanda Bass, the wife of Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker who is currently being investigated for alleged sexual misconduct, has broken her silence to publicly back her husband.
Last month, the Baltimore Banner published claims of sexual misconduct against the Ravens star between 2012 to 2016 from massage therapists. They alleged Tucker had exposed his genitals and brushed his penis on them, adding he also left what the massage therapists believed to be semen on the treatment table.
The 35-year-old, who has spent his entire career with the Ravens who he joined in 2012, denies the allegations made against him. In total, 16 massage therapists across eight spas and treatment facilities across the Baltimore area have made allegations against Tucker.
The NFL has launched an investigation into the alleged sexually inappropriate behavior, with league officials having interviewed the massage therapists who have accused Tucker.
And following the allegations made against her husband, Bass, who has been married to Tucker since 2015, has outlined her intentions to stick by the Ravens kicker, branding the claims against him as “false”.
Bass, who met Tucker during their freshman year at the University of Texas, told OutKick: “The false allegations against Justin have caused so much hurt to our family. I believe my husband, and I love and support him fully.”
The Baltimore kicker added: “I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session, nor have I ever been told I am unwelcome at any massage therapy provider. These claims are simply not true.
“I can assure whoever is reading this that I have never intended to disrespect anyone, cross any boundary, or make anyone feel uncomfortable in any way whatsoever.”

Justin Tucker denies the allegations of sexual misconduct
Earlier this week, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta admitted Baltimore were waiting “patiently” for the outcome of an NFL investigation into Tucker’s alleged behaviour before making a decision on his future.
Speaking at the NFL’s Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, DeCosta said: “The allegations are serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning.
“I think we’re fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We’ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can, and we’ll make our decisions based on that.”
