A young woman has come forward with explosive allegations against former NFL star Le’Veon Bell and his brother — claiming the two cousins sexually abused her for years, starting when she was just six years old. A court has now awarded her $25 million.

But Bell says he never even knew about the lawsuit. And he insists the whole thing is a lie born out of jealousy and a single month when he stopped paying her bills.

The case has resurfaced after the accuser, identified only as Jada or Kristen in various reports, posted a emotional video detailing her side. “The long story short of all this,” she begins. “I’m telling my story for me and for anybody it may help.”

She says the abuse began when they were kids living across the street from each other. “We weren’t cousins who saw each other every other weekend. We were cousins who lived across the street from each other.” She used their address to go to a better school, waking up at 5 a.m. to get dropped off. “I was literally doing stuff before I caught the bus and had to go to school normal,” she says. “No kid should have to do that.”

The truth finally came out, she explains, after Bell’s girlfriend at the time, Jalisa, went through his phone. Bell called his cousin in a panic. “He tells me he opened up to her a little bit and he needs me to talk to her… but I need to make it seem like it’s something that we liked to do as kids.”

She was 21 at the time. She had never told anyone her full truth. “I got on the phone with her. She made it seem like a safe space. So I told her my full truth. I didn’t make it seem like anything. I told her exactly what it was.”

She not only spoke about Le’Veon — but also his brother, Levante.

After that call, Bell was furious. He said she opened up too much. And then she learned the girlfriend had recorded the entire conversation without her knowledge.

“Le’Veon made it seem like she maliciously recorded me to hold it over his head.”

When she confronted Jalisa by text, Jalisa sent her a voice message. In that message, the girlfriend said, “When it comes to him flirting with you… I told him that shit is out… me showing him that voice note was trying to defend you… I apologize for that.”

But years later, when the story went public, the same woman turned around and defended Bell. “She goes on to defend Le’Veon like I lied and made everything up,” the accuser says. “Delusional.”

She also tried to tell Bell’s mother — her own aunt, Lisa. They were close. “I felt comfortable telling her what happened, so I did. I’m telling her, crying and all.” Lisa’s response? “I’m sorry that happened to you, but what are you going to do about this information?”

She says Lisa made her promise to tell her before telling her own parents. “I was so brainwashed and manipulated by these people since I was a kid.”

When things went public four years later, Lisa also called her a liar. “Delusional,” the accuser repeats.

Now she works with children — as a nanny and a cheerleading coach. “It’s so important for me to be the big sister to any young girls I’m around because I needed that when I was younger.”

She says telling her truth has not helped her mentally. “It actually did more bad than good.” But she hopes it helps someone else.

For his part, Le’Veon Bell is not staying silent.

“I just found out this was brewing up maybe about two days ago,” the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back said in a fiery live stream. “Suing you for sexual assault? The same cousin that was at all my football games? The same cousin that was in Miami with me? Following my tail everywhere?”

He claims the lawsuit is payback because he stopped giving her money.

“Let’s start from the beginning. I’m lowkey taking care of her. I’m paying every bill. I’m paying for her to eat. She getting her hair done, her toes, all these clothes.” He says everyone around him got the same treatment.

Then came 2022. “I said, ‘Hey look, Jay, I usually show you some love and throw you some money, but I can’t do it this month.’” Her response? “Oh, you can’t pay me? Okay. We going to see who the bad guy is.”

He says he paid no mind. They stopped talking. Then years later, the lawsuit lands.

Bell says he was never served legal papers. His attorney, Thomas Schaefer, argues that a signature on the service of process is not Bell’s — just “a scribble.” Bell was living in California at the time, but the summons was taken to his home in Baltimore, Ohio, which he says was under construction.

“There was workers, construction crew at this particular site,” Schaefer said. “The postal worker came up and said, ‘Will you accept this? Will you sign on behalf of Le’Veon Bell?’”

An Ohio court granted a default judgment of $25 million because Bell did not appear. But Bell insists he had no idea. “They faked my signature and went to the courts. I didn’t even know all this was happening.”

Bell’s attorney says he will file a motion to strike the judgment.

The accuser’s legal team has not responded to requests for comment. No criminal charges have ever been filed. As an advocacy group, Pittsburgh Action Against Rape, noted in a statement, “While every survivor’s journey is unique, we know that speaking out, especially when the accused is a high-profile individual, can be an incredibly difficult and emotional process. A verdict like this validates a survivor’s experience, but it doesn’t erase the trauma.”

Bell is adamant. “Do I need to force myself upon a woman? Anybody? If a girl tells me no, I don’t. My number is so high. Thousands of women.”

He added, “I have seven kids and six baby mothers — all on accident. But I love all my kids.”

Then he turned angry. “I would be living outside in a box before I write that check. That shit will never happen.”

The accuser shared text messages between her and Bell that she says add context. In one exchange, Bell asks her, “Out of all the places, what was the weirdest?” She replies, “All of it was weird for real.” He then says, “I’m about to call you.”

The messages are cryptic. But for her, they are proof of a twisted dynamic that went on for years.

“Nothing that was ever done was for my satisfaction. Ever.”

She forgives herself now. “I never asked for this.”

The $25 million judgment stands — for the moment. But Bell’s lawyers are fighting. And online, the battle of sides continues to explode. One thing is clear: two cousins who once lived across the street are now separated by a courtroom, a fortune, and a story no one can agree on.
