Rams star Puka Nacua faces new abuse allegations as $150 million payday hangs in balance
Puka Nacua was on track to become the NFL’s next $150 million receiver until his offseason went sideways, with new abuse allegations surfacing as the league reviews his conduct.
Nacua’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Hallie Aiono, has now accused him of abuse and neglect during their four-year relationship.
Aiono made the claims in a TikTok video and then took it down .
"I went from loving somebody so deeply for four years, I felt it in my bones, to experiencing extreme betrayal, abuse, complete neglect from them, in what felt like it happened almost overnight," Aiono said.
She said the private turmoil had taken a greater toll than their public disputes.
"A lot of the things that were public affected my mental health," Aiono said.
"But honestly, the things that were happening in private are what completely crushed me and altered my brain chemistry.
Those parts, what people never saw or knew of, are what broke me." The latest allegations add to a disastrous offseason for the fourth-year receiver, who led the NFL with 129 catches and added 1,715 receiving yards last season.

The filing accused him of biting Atiabi’s shoulder, biting another woman’s thumb and directing an anti-Semitic slur at a guest.
Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, strongly denied the allegations and characterized the legal action as an extortion attempt.
"Puka denies these allegations in the strongest possible terms," McCathern said.
"Our office was contacted with demands of millions of dollars in exchange for not publicizing these allegations.
This is not a legitimate claim.
