Whew! Roommates, a clip of Michael Rainey Jr. guest-starring in Tylil‘s recent livestream is going viral. The clip appears to show the streamer’s sister inappropriately sexually groping Michael’s genital area.
The ‘Power’ actor appeared completely surprised when Tylil’s sister approached him and whispered something while reaching below his belt.
An adolescent child in a green top sitting in front of Michael covers the sister’s hand. Note that two other children—even younger than the girl in the green shirt—were also present when this happened.
When the sister’s hand seemingly made contact with Michael, he immediately said “Whoa” and held the facial expression. He repeated the word while gently pushing her hand away. However, she appeared to try to touch his genital area persistently. Meanwhile, Michael — trying to appear calm — crossed his hands in front of his pants.
When she finally walks away, Michael Rainey Jr. looks at someone off-camera and starts laughing. Then, a man walks across the camera and says something in the actor’s area. By this time, Tylil, also known as TyTy James, realizes something is off and turns around to address Michael Rainey Jr. and the new person on camera. The man tells the streamer, “Bro, we’ll tell you later, we can’t tell you on this sh*t.”
Watch the NSFW video below.
After Tylil’s viewers caught and shared cuts of what looked like a sexually aggressive assault, the streamer was allegedly spammed with concerned messages. After the live stream was cut short, the streamer addressed the incident.
Tylil said the situation really has him “feeling a way.” He admitted that he’s also done “crazy sh*t” around celebrities but that he’s become accustomed to hanging with celebs. As for his sister, Tylil said that she had “never seen somebody of that caliber, so she started…” He added that although he plans to “check” her, he isn’t going to “talk bad about her” because that’s his kin.
“Imma just check her and tell her ‘You don’t gotta be on that. We all the same, we all human. If he’s here for me, he’s here for you,'” Tylil said.
He said that “nothing” has ever gotten him “more mad” than this incident involving Michael and his sister.
As the backlash continued on Monday (June 10), Tylil also issued a written apology via social media. It’s unclear if he’s spoken to Michael since the sexual harassment went viral, but he strongly condemned his sister’s actions after rewatching the viral footage.
“…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,” Tylil’s statement said.
The streamer added that he respects “whatever direction” Michael “wants to go in.” He stated that rewatching the clip surprised him, and he assured his fans that he’ll take “extreme precautions with future streams to avoid similar issues.”
As for lil’ sis, she’s allegedly “banned” from joining his future streams. Additionally, Tylil emphasized that he doesn’t “condone any type of assault.”
There are no additional details about Tylil’s sister at this time, including her age.
However, along with reactions to her shocking actions, social media users are also showing additional clips suggesting lil’ mama was wilding throughout the livestream. Peep another example below.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ lead hasn’t addressed what happened on his social platforms yet.
