Former world boxing champion Adrien Broner is facing a lawsuit that accuses him of sexual battery, assault, and other claims. The lawsuit was filed by a woman identified as Havana Saint, who alleges that Broner pressured her into sexual acts and later made defamatory statements about her.
Allegations of Sexual Assault
According to the lawsuit, the alleged incidents began on June 2, 2026, when Broner invited Saint and her friends to an after-party. Saint claims Broner encouraged her to drink heavily, leading her to become too intoxicated to drive home. She accepted his offer to stay at the house where the gathering took place.
In the lawsuit, Saint alleges that Broner pressured her into engaging in sexual acts, including intercourse, oral sex, and a hand job. She also claims he exposed himself and grabbed her hand in an attempt to force her to participate. Saint states she repeatedly refused his advances, saying, "No," and made it clear that she was not interested in men and preferred women.
Second Incident and Humiliation
Saint claims she returned to the house the following day, June 3, where Broner allegedly expressed anger that they had not been intimate the previous night. She alleges that Broner attempted to drag her upstairs, which she refused. Saint acknowledged that she laughed during parts of the encounter but said it was a way of masking her fear and discomfort.
The lawsuit further alleges that on June 8, Saint encountered Broner again at a livestream content house in Los Angeles County. After becoming intoxicated, she claims Broner physically pulled or dragged her from the property and pressured her to accompany him to his home in Encino. Once there, Saint alleges that Broner again pressured her to have sex, but she declined. She and her friends stayed overnight, and the following morning Broner allegedly poured ice water on her during a livestream, causing her humiliation and emotional distress.
Defamation Claims
Saint maintains that she and Broner never had sex but alleges he later made comments during a livestream implying otherwise, including claiming she had "made him cum." The lawsuit also accuses another streamer, Nurideen Shabazz, also known as DeenTheGreat, of making defamatory statements by claiming she had slept with multiple people at the livestream house.
Legal Action
Saint is suing Broner for alleged sexual battery and assault. She is also suing Broner and Shabazz for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Streaming platform Kick is named in the lawsuit on allegations of negligence. Broner has not publicly responded to the allegations.
