The RAMS Forum

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is now embroiled in a heated off-field controversy. His former girlfriend, Hallie Aiono, who is pregnant with a baby boy due this fall, has publicly labeled him a “narcissist” while pursuing a paternity lawsuit. The situation has escalated rapidly, shifting from joyful pregnancy announcements to bitter accusations and legal battles. The drama reached a new peak on August 13, 2025, when Aiono reposted a social media graphic titled “Six things to expect when you’re pregnant by a narcissist”.

I have no idea whether or not Puka Nacua is a narcissist, although there are plenty of them around these days, including numerous athletes.

Hopefully he will get this situation resolved *tout de suite,* the Rams definitely don't want him distracted during the season... :? ;) :geek:

RAM SEASON!!

Puka is a 24 year old talented NFL player who will make millions. I don't know about you but most 24 year olds including myself are/were narcistic. I think it comes with the territory.

No it really doesn't. Some are, but I would not say most. I know I never was and given how many people have self esteem issues and so on, I'm going to say "most" is a longshot

I have no idea what the deal is, I certainly am not going to take her posts at face value, nor would I take his. Going to go public, post specifics or STFU until you hit court. Given the current climate I would probably lean toward a woman who now thinks she has a good payday lined up and can stay single and play. I would doubt however that Puka is entirely blameless. A line here, a comment there. Shit happens.

The key phrase here is STFU.

The person that posts vindictive crap on social media is the person who is the idiot.
Good it happen now before he gets a massive contract extension.

When I was in college and graduate school, my fellow students and myself generally had contempt for narcisisstic people, it was considered to be an extremely negative characteristic. Of course, successful pro athletes certainly are given more impetus to develop narcissism, based on the fan adultation they receive.

That Greek myth never made much sense to me, because an emaciated individual is hardly all that attractive... :o

I'll grant that is likely be true with athletes and celebrities, I'm just saying I don't believe so with the general population
