LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: American football wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr has straightaway debunked claims stating that he assaulted a woman by grabbing her by the neck at a LA nightclub. The 30-year-old NFL superstar's representatives said they hadn't been contacted by the police and weren't aware of any investigation into the claims. 

The football player, who recently signed a new $18 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens, denies any wrongdoing even though TMZ reports that he had been named as a suspect in an assault investigation. The alleged incident took place in Delilah several weeks ago, although the owner of the hotspot has also said the claims are "false". Both Odell and the woman reportedly stayed at the venue after the altercation although she met with police a few days later and filed a report.

John Terzian, the nightclub owner said the venue had been contacted by police conducting an investigation. "We were contacted about an investigation and reviewed the videos; the claim is false", he said, according to Daily Mail. "There is no evidence of this person even being in the area where she claims the incident occurred."

Beckham Jr claimed that he played 'without an ACL'

The news comes days after Beckham Jr claimed that he played "without an ACL" when he won a Super Bowl with the LA Rams in 2022. He revealed the injury risks he faced in order to keep playing when he joined the Rams midway through the 2021 season. "That whole season, I was playing without [an ACL]," the 30-year-old said. "It was a crazy thing. I signed with the LA Rams, and I remember [team physician Dr Neal] ElAttrache comes down there and he's like, 'I've just got to inform you that you don't have an ACL. You know, we can redo your surgery right now.'' And this was Week 9 of the season."

Despite knowing the severity of his knee's condition at the time, the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver challenged himself to push himself after missing most of the 2020 season recovering from ACL surgery on the same left knee that forced him to sit out all of last year. "I just told him, I was like, I've been through way too much to come here and sign. There was way too much talk on my name. You know, the past year, like I came here to win a championship," Beckham said. "And I told him I'd die on the sword."
