Adrien Broner Says Assault Lawsuit Surfaced Because He’s ‘Rich Again’

Lyndon Abioye |

Adrien Broner laughed and walked away after being shown a report that he had been sued by a woman accusing him of repeatedly pressuring her for sex.

The boxer was livestreaming on Kick with DeenTheGreat when viewers began flooding the comments with “TMZ.” After DeenTheGreat said, “I don’t think they’d be spamming that if everything was good,” Broner was shown the report and briefly laughed before leaving the room.

Broner later addressed the lawsuit on Instagram, calling the claims “fake allegations” and suggesting the case surfaced because people believe he has money again.

“If these fake allegations go start all cause people think I’m rich again and trying to get money from me I will stop streaming today,” Broner wrote. He captioned the post, “Money the root of all EVIL #ALLEGATIONS.”

According to TMZ, Havana Saint alleges Broner repeatedly pressured her to engage in sexual acts after she told him “no” and said she preferred women. Saint claims the alleged encounters took place after parties and around a livestream content house.

She also alleges Broner poured ice water on her during a livestream after she rejected him, leaving her humiliated and emotionally distressed. Saint maintains she and Broner never had a sexual relationship.

The lawsuit also names DeenTheGreat, whose real name is Nurideen Shabaz. Saint accuses him of falsely claiming she slept with several people at the content house. She is suing Broner and DeenTheGreat for claims including defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Kick is also accused of negligence.
