Le'Veon Bell Denies Sexual Abuse Allegations Following $25M Verdict

The former NFL star claims he was not served legal documents and vows to challenge the court's default judgment.

Le'Veon Bell has publicly denied allegations of sexual abuse made by his cousin, Jada Bell, in a March 2024 lawsuit.
Jada Bell alleges that the abuse began when she was six or seven years old and continued for over a decade, ending when she turned 18.
In October 2024, a judge issued a default judgment against Bell, and a jury recently awarded Jada Bell $25 million in damages.
Bell claims he was unaware of the lawsuit until recently, alleging his signature on service documents was forged and that he was not properly served.
Bell's attorney announced plans to contest the default judgment, asserting that the case has not been litigated and his client's due process rights were violated.
