Rashee Rice Sued For $1M By Mother Of His Children Alleging Domestic Abuse While She Was Pregnant

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, who has had multiple legal problems — most stemming from his hit-and-run driving accident in 2024, which led to a jail sentence and a six-game NFL suspension — is the subject of a troubling new lawsuit by the mother of his children.

And although the suit filed by former girlfriend Dacoda Jones, filed Monday in Dallas County, Texas, is a civil matter, it is quite possible that if the allegations are proven, Rice may be found to be in violationof the conditions of his probation agreement and face added jail time.

Through attorney Ron Estefan, Jones is seeking monetary damages of "over $1 million."

According to the suit, the plaintiff brings the action as a result of being physically assaulted by Rice at their homes located in Victory Park, Texas and Lee's Summit, Missouri over the course of many months, from approximately December 2023 through July 2025.

These assaults, the suit claims, caused Jones "severe and permanent injuries to her."

"Defendant Rashee Rice and Plaintiff Dacoda Jones lived together. Following an escalation in violent behavior, in December, 2023, Defendant Rashee Rice strangled Plaintiff Dacoda Jones at their shared home in Victory Park, Texas.
