Josh Jacobs: "There's a lot of stuff being said about me that's completely false"

On Friday, Wisconsin authorities released documents in the Josh Jacobs criminal case that included three allegations against him from other women.

Josh Jacobs revealed on Wednesday that he addressed reporters for the first time since several allegations against him resurfaced, expressing that the situation feels like an attack on his character. He emphasized that much of what is being said about him is false and made up, adding that he cannot change these false narratives.

Jacobs reiterated his commitment to staying true to himself throughout the ordeal, striving to remain positive and not allowing the negativity to alter his persona. He expressed his desire to avoid becoming withdrawn and angry due to the stress of the situation. The case took a twist as Jacobs had previously pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge from an incident in May 2026, which complicates his credibility in claiming three other women's allegations are false.

Despite the challenges, he believes the new allegations likely will not lead to more missed playing time, as the league and investigators are already aware of his current status. The Green Bay Packers remain in discussions about potentially trading their running back, Jonathan Taylor, and he could be a possible future for Jacobs.
