Le’Veon Bell goes on unhinged rant after cousin accuses him of sexual abuse

Le’Veon Bell vehemently denied rape allegations, which were made in a March 2024 lawsuit filed by his cousin Jada Bell, and claimed he was never served in a Twitch live stream on Tuesday.

Bell claimed in the live stream that he was made aware of the allegations this week — and that his signature was forged on documents stating he was served, according to TMZ.

The former NFL running back, along with his brother, LaVonte Bell, are accused of engaging in “incestual relations” while the alleged female victim was “just six or seven years old” and that it “continued through at least 2017,” according to court documents obtained by The Post.

A jury in Franklin County, Ohio determined at a damages hearing on Feb. 26 that Le’Veon owes $20 million in compensatory damages, plus $5 million in punitive damages to the alleged victim.

“Jada Bell is my cousin… I just found out this was brewing up maybe about two days ago… when TMZ hit me up, they got my number,” Le’Veon said, adding that he had his lawyer call TMZ, who was first to report the story.

“… The same cousin that was at all my football games. Do y’all think Le’Veon Bell, do I need to force myself upon a woman? Anybody? Do I need to force myself upon them? I don’t.”

Le’Veon’s attorney, Thomas W. Shaffer, said his client “adamantly denies any and all allegations” in a statement to TMZ, adding that Le’Veon was “never served any documents” of a civil suit.

In the Twitch live stream, Le’Veon denied ever forcing himself on any female and bragged about having “slayed so many women” in his past sexual encounters.

“I put this on all my kids life, my mom’s life, I put this on everything, I never ever pushed myself on a girl when she ain’t want that s–t,” Le’Veon said. “I’ve never forced myself on nobody. I got my pick of the litter.

“Stop this s–t right now. Let alone my cousin? My number is so high, thousands of women, slayed by the dragon. I done slayed so many women it’s like a f–king dragon bro. I’m a dragon slayer out here.”

Le’Veon’s Twitch stream lasted one hour, according to TMZ.

His younger brother La’Vonte was said to have owed the alleged victim another $11 million in damages, per court documents.

“The default judgment granted was based upon violations of his Fifth Amendment rights of due process for failing to be served,” Shaffer said. “My client is in the process of filing a motion to open and reverse the default judgment because the narratives of the case have never been litigated.”

Bell played for the Jets, Steelers, Chiefs, Ravens and Buccaneers before competing in celebrity boxing events.
