Adrien Broner Sued for Sexual Battery Over Early-June Livestream Encounters

The Los Angeles civil complaint names a co‑streamer and Kick and could prompt scrutiny of livestream moderation.

Overview

  • A woman identified as Havana Saint filed a civil suit in mid‑June accusing Broner of repeated sexual battery, assault, public humiliation and emotional harm during encounters tied to livestream events.
  • The complaint alleges incidents between June 2 and June 8 that include unwanted touching, pressure while intoxicated, attempts to isolate her, and an on‑camera dousing with ice water that was viewed and clipped by thousands.
  • Saint also names streamer Nurideen Shabazz, known as DeenTheGreat, for allegedly making false statements on air about her sexual activity and sues Kick for negligence for failing to remove or moderate the content.
  • Broner and Deen publicly reacted on a live stream by laughing and dismissing the reporting, and Broner later posted that he might quit streaming over what he called 'fake allegations'; Broner has not filed a formal legal answer in court.
  • The allegations are unproven civil claims; reporting notes a prior 2018 civil judgment against Broner in a separate case, which provides context but does not determine the outcome of this lawsuit.
