Adrien Broner touches streamer Aya Tanjali’s buttocks on live Kick stream, she considers pressing charges [VIDEO]

The 19-year-old said she “low key wanted to cry” after the former boxing champion made contact as she stood up from the couch.

Adrien Broner, the former four-division world champion boxer, made physical contact with 19-year-old streamer Aya Tanjali’s buttocks during a Kick livestream yesterday (May 21). Tanjali immediately left the broadcast and later stated she “low key wanted to cry” in the moment.

The incident took place during a “20 vs 2” style group interaction stream hosted by DeenTheGreat. Tanjali was seated next to Broner on a black leather couch. As she stood up to leave or reposition herself, Broner touched her buttocks area. Witness descriptions and circulating clips characterize the contact variably as a tap, slap, or grab.

A 58-second compiled video clip posted to X by @Kick_Champ this morning has amassed over 5.7 million views. The clip contains studio footage of the incident and Tanjali’s emotional outdoor statement in a parking lot afterward, with scrolling chat overlays from the livestream visible throughout the second segment.

Tanjali Left the Stream Immediately and Spoke Out in a Parking Lot

The first segment of the compiled video shows the indoor studio setting. Aya Tanjali is seated on a black leather couch wearing a sheer black sleeveless top with “UPPER” visible across the chest, shorts, a gold necklace, hoop earrings, and a high ponytail. Broner sits to her right, shirtless beneath an unbuttoned green-and-white short-sleeved shirt with a silver chain necklace. He appears to be speaking and gesturing with his hand as the contact occurs.

Tanjali immediately displayed visible discomfort, stood up, and left the stream area. The video then cuts to an outdoor nighttime parking lot under artificial lighting. She is now wearing a different black sleeveless top but retains the same gold jewelry. While walking, she speaks directly toward the camera in an emotional tone. On-screen subtitles transcribe her statements.

“Slap my […] or try some […] on me like ever like ever,” she says. “But being drunk doesn’t excuse your behavior. I low key wanted to cry in that moment. Like that’s never happened to me ever.” Tanjali emphasizes that this was the first time such an incident had occurred to her and expresses hope for an apology.

AB Was Intoxicated on Stream and Later Called the Contact Accidental

Adrien Broner appeared intoxicated during the livestream, according to multiple viewer accounts and subsequent reports. Following the incident, he described the physical contact as accidental, stating it was an attempt to get Tanjali’s attention rather than a deliberate inappropriate act. He later issued both a private apology via phone call and a public apology.

However, Broner also gave comments to The Shade Room in which he downplayed the incident. “Man, ain’t nobody violated that girl. She over doing it,” he said. While acknowledging the contact occurred, he maintained it was not malicious and attributed his behavior partly to his intoxicated state and the overall stream environment.

Broner has a well-documented public history of legal issues, personal controversies, and prior incidents involving women. His appearance on the stream was part of his recent activity on the Kick platform. The broadcast took place in a party-style setting with multiple guests and crew members present, and the incident occurred in full view of the live audience.

Tanjali Consulted a Lawyer but Later Decided Not to Press Charges

Following the incident, Aya Tanjali consulted a lawyer and initially considered pressing charges for the unwanted physical contact. In the video clip, she directly addressed the possibility of legal action while expressing her discomfort in the moment. However, she later publicly clarified on social media that she would not pursue any charges or court proceedings. She changed her mind receiving a private apology from Broner via phone call. However, she also requested and received a public apology from him.

In her clarification statements, Tanjali explicitly noted that early reports claiming she was still considering pressing charges were no longer accurate once the apology had been made. She accepted Broner’s private apology. However, she continued to emphasize that the incident had made her significantly uncomfortable. Tanjali stressed that intoxication does not excuse such behavior and that similar actions should not be normalized, particularly in streaming environments involving young creators.

The entire incident and its immediate aftermath unfolded rapidly over the past 24 hours, fueled by the viral spread of multiple clips and intense social media commentary. As of the latest updates, no formal charges or court filings have been reported. The situation has sparked wider discussions about streamer culture on platforms like Kick, the importance of consent education, age and power dynamics in group streams, and Broner’s public persona.

Viewers on X Were Polarized Over Clothing, Consent, and Accountability

The original X post by @Kick_Champ received thousands of comments and quotes. The audience was notably split. Many commenters were emphasizing consent. Those people believe that non-consensual physical contact is unacceptable regardless of clothing, setting, or intoxication.

Statements such as “Just because she wearing what she wearing does not mean you should touch her without consent” and “Women don’t lose their right to respect just because they’re in shorts or on stream. Being drunk isn’t a hall pass to grope someone” were common. Additionally, several users also highlighted the age difference between Tanjali and Broner.

Other users questioned Tanjali’s choice of clothing — her sheer top and shorts. These people suggested her participation in the “20 vs 2” stream environment invited the contact. Comments included, “Maybe don’t wear shorts where half your […] is hanging out,” and “Not excusing Ab but damn shorty out here with no clothes on talking bout that never happened. That’s a hoe outfit n you got treated like one.”

Several replies downplayed the incident as minor or unintentional. That group of the audience described it as “just a tap” or “he just trying to grab her attention.” Others called for better education on consent, with one user writing, “After reading the comments i think we send all of internet users back to secondary classes and make them learn about the term consent.”

The Stream Was Hosted by DeenTheGreat in a “20 vs 2” Format

The livestream took place on the Kick platform and was hosted by streamer DeenTheGreat. The “20 vs 2” format is a popular dating-style, group interaction show that typically features multiple guests in a party-like setting. Tanjali participated as one of the guests and was seated directly next to Broner on the couch. The environment included alcohol consumption, several participants, and crew members on site.

DeenTheGreat responded to the viral clip with a brief post on X stating, “Aye gang delete this.” The full stream has not been publicly archived in its entirety. However, multiple clips of the incident and its immediate aftermath have circulated widely across social media. As of press time, the Kick platform itself has not issued any official statement regarding the event.

Livestream environments on platforms like Kick frequently blur the lines between entertainment and personal boundaries. Group streams involving alcohol, large numbers of participants, and real-time audience interaction can place pressure on individuals to tolerate behavior they might otherwise reject. Tanjali’s choice to immediately leave the stream and address the incident publicly stands out as a notable departure from how such situations are often handled in streamer culture.

Final Word: What the Incident Reveals About Boundaries on Livestreams

The incident has drawn attention not only to Adrien Broner’s actions but also to the broader culture of livestream platforms like Kick. At 19, Aya Tanjali was significantly younger than the 36-year-old former champion. This highlights the notable power dynamics between a well-known athlete and a young female creator.

Broner’s history of legal issues and personal controversies are well documented. His growing involvement in streaming marks a new chapter in his public life. The event has prompted wider conversations about whether platforms are doing enough to protect participants — especially younger creators — from inappropriate behavior during live broadcasts.

Tanjali has since moved on after accepting Broner’s apology, and no charges were filed. However, the viral clip continues to circulate. The discussion about consent, personal boundaries, and accountability on livestreams remains ongoing.
