Big Tigger seen in leaked footage wrestling his wife to the floor over phone months before arrest [VIDEO]
The video shows the radio personality attempting to retrieve his cell phone as his wife lies on the floor
Leaked footage has surfaced showing radio personality Big Tigger in a physical struggle with his wife, Alicia Brown, over his cell phone. The 59-second clip, posted by @bigorecap, has gained over 5.6 million views. It comes nearly two months after the incident that led to his June arrest on charges of aggravated battery, battery, and third-degree cruelty to children.
The video shows Tigger and Brown grappling on the floor of their home. Meanwhile, a child’s voice repeatedly yells, “Mister Tigger get off of her now!” The clip provides a visual record of the phone retrieval struggle that authorities say escalated into a physical altercation resulting in Brown’s head injury.
The Phone Struggle Captured on Video
The footage shows Big Tigger, wearing a black sleeveless tank top and light-colored pants, and Alicia Brown, in a black top, engaged in a physical struggle on the floor near what appears to be a staircase. He is positioned over or grappling with her as she lies lower to the ground.
During the exchange, Tigger reaches around Brown’s body. He was attempting to retrieve his phone that she was holding near her midsection, identified as his cell phone. She remains on the floor in a prone or supine position as he reaches over her. Clothing items and clear plastic garment bags labeled “FASHION NOVA” are scattered around them.
A child’s voice, reportedly one of the couple’s children, repeatedly yells, “Mister Tigger get off of her now!” An adult voice, identified as Brown’s older son recording the incident, can be heard saying, “You’re literally stepping on her,” “Give me my phone,” and “Tigger get off.”
Tigger responds, requesting the return of his phone and denying certain physical actions, including “I’m not stepping on her.”
Dispute Over Text Messages and the Cell Phone
The incident began as a verbal dispute over text messages on Big Tigger’s phone. Brown confronted him regarding communications with another woman, with rumors circulating involving his co-host Francesca Amiker. Amiker has publicly denied any affair or inappropriate involvement.
Tigger began recording Brown on his cellphone. She asked him to stop and grabbed or took possession of the phone. The situation escalated physically when Tigger tackled Brown to the floor in an effort to retrieve his device.
Brown then went to the basement office area to unplug a computer. Tigger followed her there, grabbed her arms, and forcefully shoved her toward the exit. She stumbled and struck her head on an office door. This resulted in a deep laceration above her left eye that required stitches and left visible disfigurement.
The entire altercation was captured on the home’s interior Ring security camera system. Tigger drove Brown to urgent care in Dunwoody. There, the medical staff contacted police due to the nature of the injury.
The Injury and the Child Cruelty Charge
Alicia Brown sustained a deep laceration above her left eye that required stitches. A photograph included in the video shows a visible dark bruise or injury mark above her left eye and forehead area. She was later transported to Grady Memorial Hospital.
Initially, Brown reportedly told medical staff she had tripped and fallen, aligning with Tigger’s account at the time. She later provided a statement to police detailing the physical altercation.
The couple’s 13-year-old son was upstairs in the home and heard the physical altercation, forming the basis for the third-degree cruelty to children charge. The child’s voice heard yelling in the video is reportedly one of the children present during the incident.
The Arrest and Court Proceedings
Big Tigger was arrested on June 20 and booked into Fulton County Jail on charges of aggravated battery, battery, and third-degree cruelty to children. He posted surety bonds totaling $10,000 ($9,000 for aggravated battery and $1,000 for child cruelty) and was released the same day.
A Fulton County judge granted Brown a temporary protective order requiring Tigger to stay at least 200 yards away from Brown, the family home, and the children. He was also required to surrender access to the home’s Ring cameras and gate system.
Court documents note allegations that Tigger pressured Brown to deny or downplay the incident. Following his arrest, Tigger posted a statement on Instagram denying the allegations and announcing he was stepping away from his radio show to focus on his legal defense and family.
Fans on X Come to Big Tigger’s Defense
Many users on X defended Big Tigger, arguing Alicia Brown should have returned his phone. One of the highest-engaged replies received over 11,000 likes. It read: “Not sure if this is a child recording, but choosing to flop on the floor with a stolen item tucked in your hands so your ex is baited into rolling around and wrestling with you to get their personal belongings back while your kid watches is manipulative & childish. She’s wrong.”
Another user wrote: “Just give him his phone. […] I’m not a fan of men abusing women but this here clip seems like the wife is being overzealous. Just give him his phone. Why are there clothes on the floor?” A third commented: “[…] this […] set him up, it’s so obvious .. ‘Get off her stop standing on her’.. tigger barely touched her. Just give him his phone.”
The child’s repeated yelling drew significant attention. Some users found it aggravating and part of the dynamic being portrayed. Meanwhile, others noted the impact on the children. The camera operator’s verbal interventions were criticized by several users. One reply stated: “Whoever holding the camera tried his best to gaslight the situation.” Another commented: “she’s clearly acting… Big Tigger is politely asking for his phone.. the girl recording is overly acting too.”
Some people urged caution or referenced other footage from the incident. A smaller portion noted the separate Ring camera footage showing other elements of the altercation, including Tigger grabbing Brown by the neck or arms.
The Ongoing Legal Case
As of press time, the matter remains an active legal case in Fulton County. The leaked video has been widely circulated and discussed as additional visual evidence related to the May incident that led to the June arrest. It has intensified public debate but has not resulted in any reported immediate changes to charges, bond, or the protective order.
Tigger continues to maintain his denial of the abuse allegations and is focusing on his legal defense while stepping back from on-air duties. No public statement from Big Tigger or Brown specifically addressing this particular video has surfaced.
The case involves submitted video evidence from multiple sources, including the interior Ring security camera system and the footage now circulating on social media. The video has been framed as providing additional context to the arrest and prior statements, with some users questioning the charging decisions or suggesting alternative interpretations of events.
