Globally, almost one in three women have experienced sexual violence at least once, as per ‘World Bank’. That’s millions of women, making this a pandemic. Women from all walks of life seem to face such circumstances, and recently Jerry Rice’s daughter, Jada Rice, had something important to highlight.
While she is now happily married, back in 2018, she opened up about her then-boyfriend Jeremy Liggins allegedly choking her during an argument. Now, she has opened up regarding another incident where she felt unsafe.

Through her Instagram story, Jada Rice recounted a chilling narrative about an incident that happened to her two weeks ago. She posted, “I got into a lyft two weeks ago with a total CREEP. I literally thought I was going to have to fight for my life.“
Jada Rice went on to mention that she made it clear to the man that she was married. But instead of understanding, the driver remarked on her hips and thighs. And while she was scared to death, she revealed that she maintained her cool by laughing nervously because, technically, her “life was now in his hands.” After all, “PEOPLE ARE INSANE,” as stated by Jada.
The driver who picked her up went on to ask personal questions like her name, her address, and her occupation. But nothing was as alarming as when she found out that the driver’s name was Antiquez and not Robert, which was written on the account. All she could think of was how to defend herself as Antiquez took several wrong turns to extend the ride.

Fortunately, Jada Rice escaped from the perilous encounter unscathed. “I reported him and all, but telling a man you’re MARRIED clearly isn’t enough these days.“
Jada Rice is married to Jasper Friis, a student-athlete who plays as the offensive lineman for McNeese Cowboys.

Back in 2018, when Rice accused her NFL player ex-boyfriend, Jeremy Liggins, of choking her, he denied the claims. Cops got involved and the situation was messy. ‘TMZ Sports’ reached out to Rice, who said, “I do not wish to comment on the incident at this time. I am utilizing this time to heal both mentally and physically.”
However, her fight doesn’t stop there. Last year, NBA player Miles Bridges was arrested in Los Angeles for domestic abuse against his then-girlfriend. He pleaded no contest to a felony domestic abuse charge. Thus, he was given three years of probation and no jail time. Because of the situation, the NBA issued a 30-game suspension to Bridges. Jada Rice had a staunch opinion about the incident. “Do better,” was her message for the world.
