On a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the hosts tackled the mounting allegations against Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, who has been accused by multiple massage therapists of inappropriate behavior during sessions. The accusations include exposing himself, engaging in unwanted touching, and leaving bodily fluids on massage tables. Some therapists reportedly cut sessions short or refused to work with him again, which ultimately led to Tucker being banned from at least two Baltimore-area spas.
The panel dissected the severity of these claims, questioning the potential fallout for Tucker’s career and what this means for the larger conversation surrounding professional athletes and misconduct. They also explored the blurred lines between legitimate massage therapy establishments and those that may offer illicit services, emphasizing the need for clear boundaries and consent in these settings.
While the discussion remained serious, the hosts infused their signature mix of humor and critical analysis, touching on societal perceptions of massage therapy and the accountability expected from public figures. They acknowledged the impact on the alleged victims while also examining how the NFL might respond to the situation.
This conversation was part of a broader episode that also delved into topics such as a new documentary on Diddy, a plane crash in Washington, D.C., and an investigation into Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier.
As allegations continue to surface, all eyes are on the NFL and how the league will handle yet another controversy involving player conduct.
