ATLANTA, Georgia — A newly circulated video appearing to show radio personality **Big Tigger, whose real name is Darian Morgan, and his wife, Alicia Brown, involved in a physical struggle over a cellphone has ignited another wave of discussion online as the couple’s ongoing legal dispute continues.
The footage, which has circulated on social media, is the latest video connected to the couple’s highly publicized domestic dispute. It follows separate Ring camera footage that also surfaced online and appeared to show a physical confrontation involving Morgan and Brown outside a residence.
The videos have prompted sharply divided reactions online. However, the footage circulating on social media does not, by itself, establish the circumstances surrounding the incident or determine whether a crime occurred.
What does the leaked video show?
In the newly circulated clip, Morgan appears to approach Brown as she holds a cellphone near her stomach.
Morgan then appears to wrap his arms around Brown as he attempts to retrieve the phone. During the struggle, Brown falls to the floor onto what appears to be packaged clothing and cries out.
A person recording the incident can be heard shouting, “Mr. Tigger, get off of her now.”
Morgan responds that he did not touch Brown and says that she “dropped” to the floor.
While Brown remains on the floor, Morgan repeatedly tells her that the situation will be “over with” once she gives him the phone.
The video does not appear to show Morgan striking Brown. At the same time, the footage captures only part of the interaction and does not independently establish what happened immediately before the recording began or what occurred afterward.
Those limitations are important when assessing the competing claims surrounding the incident.
Social media divided over Morgan and Brown footage
The release of the video has produced sharply different reactions from social media users.
Some viewers have focused on the fact that the footage does not appear to show Morgan punching or striking Brown. Others have questioned Brown’s fall and debated why the person recording the incident referred to Morgan as “Mr. Tigger.”
Other commenters have taken a different view, arguing that the physical struggle itself is concerning regardless of why Morgan wanted the cellphone.
Some social-media users have also speculated about whether the phone contained evidence of an affair or other private communications. Those claims remain speculation unless supported by evidence or statements from the people involved.
Earlier Ring footage also surfaced
The latest video comes after separate Ring camera footage circulated online that appeared to capture a physical confrontation involving Morgan and Brown outside a residence.
The footage was widely discussed in connection with the domestic-abuse allegations against Morgan, although the video alone does not establish the full circumstances surrounding the encounter.
The emergence of multiple videos has added another layer to an already highly publicized dispute that has moved from social media into the criminal justice system.
What charges does Big Tigger face?
Morgan was arrested by Sandy Springs police on June 21 and faces charges including aggravated battery, battery and third-degree cruelty to children, according to the arrest information described in reports surrounding the case.
The charges stem from an alleged May 9 incident involving Brown.
According to the arrest affidavit, Brown told investigators that Morgan shoved or tackled her into an office door after she confronted him about allegedly communicating with another woman.
The affidavit states that Brown suffered a deep laceration above her left eye that required stitches.
The case also involves an allegation concerning the couple’s 13-year-old son. According to the affidavit, the child was upstairs at the time and heard the altercation, leading to the third-degree cruelty-to-children charge.
These are allegations contained in the criminal case, and Morgan has maintained his innocence.
Alicia Brown previously made abuse-related claims
The dispute between Morgan and Brown has also played out publicly on social media.
Brown previously accused Morgan of being unfaithful and alleged that he had been involved with his co-host, Francesca Amiker. Amiker denied the allegation.
Brown also shared photographs of injuries online that appeared to reference alleged abuse. She later clarified that she had not explicitly called Morgan an abuser and subsequently issued a statement taking accountability for publicly airing details of the couple’s relationship.
The competing statements and allegations have contributed to significant public interest in the case.
Protective order issued against Big Tigger
A judge has since issued a protective order requiring Morgan to remain at least 200 yards away from Brown and the couple’s children, according to information released in connection with the case.
Morgan was also ordered to surrender access to the home’s Ring cameras and security gates.
The restrictions remain separate from any determination of guilt. A protective order and criminal charges do not, by themselves, establish that the allegations have been proven in court.
Big Tigger addresses the controversy
Following his arrest, Morgan addressed the situation publicly on social media.
The veteran broadcaster announced that he would step away from the microphone while he focuses on his family and the pending legal proceedings.
Morgan has continued to deny the allegations against him and maintains his innocence as the case moves forward.
The newly circulated cellphone video is likely to generate further discussion, but its release does not resolve the underlying criminal case.
Ultimately, the allegations against Morgan will have to be addressed through the legal process rather than determined by social-media reactions to isolated video clips.
As the case continues, additional court filings, statements from attorneys or new evidence could provide more context about the incidents involving Morgan and Brown.
