Odell Beckham Jr. Allegedly a Suspect in Assault Investigation, Rep Denies Allegations

Odell Beckham Jr. is allegedly a suspect in an assault investigation, though a rep for the football star denies this and tells POPSUGAR they "haven't been notified of any investigation." On April 21, TMZ reported that law enforcement informed them that a woman had accused the athlete of grabbing her by the throat at Los Angeles restaurant Delilah. Sources also claimed to TMZ that Beckham Jr. and the accuser remained at the restaurant after the alleged incident occurred.

However, Delilah owner John Terzian denies that the incident occurred, telling POPSUGAR in a statement provided by Beckham Jr.'s rep, "We were contacted about an investigation and reviewed the videos, the claim is false. There is no evidence of this person even being in the area where she claims the incident occurred." The LAPD did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment.

The allegations emerge several days after Beckham Jr. signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Baltimore Ravens. He is currently set to return to the field after taking off all of 2022 to heal from a torn ACL.
