Cousins! Michael Rainey Jr has released an official statement following a sexual assault incident that occurred during a livestream at the hands of Tylil James’ sister!
“At this point, everyone has seen the video circulating online. I am still in shock and don’t fully know how to process what happened last night.”
“This is an unfortunate situation that I do not condone in any way. I can’t take it lightly because I know I would be in serious trouble if the roles were reversed,” wrote Michael within a post shared to Instagram.
“The fact is, sexual assault is never okay, regardless of gender or status. We’re all human, and we should respect each other. Most importantly, we should always respect ourselves.”
As we previously reported things got out of hand during a live stream on June 9th as Tylil held a stream amongst fans featuring Michael and rapper Chinese Kitty.
In a series of shared clips across Instagram and Twitter (X), Tylil’s sister can be seen groping Michael’s genitals as he stood up speaking amongst friends.
Appearing in shock of the sudden encounter Michael adjusted the lower half of his body and moved her hands.
It has been stated that following the chaotic incident both Michael and Kitty left shortly.
Within another clip Tylil attempted to excuse his sister’s behavior by insisting she was star struck and was unfamiliar with being around celebrities.
As the incident began to pick up traction on social media Tylil took to Instagram and issued an apology to Michael while directly addressing the issue at hand.
“After the actions that occurred during my stream last night I would like to sincerely Apologize to Michael and his family for what took place. My little sister was completely wrong and out of line. What she did was very inappropriate and unacceptable. I am truly embarrassed and disgusted by her actions. I completely respect whatever direction Michael wants to go in this situation.”
“After watching the clip, I was completely taken back by what she done. I will take extreme precautions with future streams to avoid similar issues and have banned her from participating in future streams. I do not condone any type of assault.”
50 cent took to Instagram following the encounter to share his own opinion of the ordeal while denouncing the incident being deemed sexual assault.
“Wait sexual assault from a male perspective this was an aggressive advance. LOL HE’s fine no charges are being pressed.”
50’s comment sent social media users into a further uproar as they questioned how he could ignore the seriousness of the incident.
