Shocking video shows ‘Power’ star Michael Rainey Jr. is groped by a woman during a live broadcast on Twitch
‘Power’ star Michael Rainey Jr. is speaking out against sexual violence after hundreds of thousands of social media users witnessed him being groped on livestream.
The actor appeared on TyTy James’ Twitch stream on June 9 together with several other people when the incident occurred. While James talked to the three young girls, Rainey stood within the background with two other men.
At one point, James’ sister, Jahgee, suddenly appeared next to the 23-year-old actor, whispered something in his ear and appeared to grab his crotch. The “Power Book II: Ghost” star appeared visibly uncomfortable as he tried to thwart her advances by reaching down along with his hands and shielding his genitals from unwanted touching.
In her June 10 Instagram Story, Rainey wrote: “I’m still in shock and never entirely sure the best way to process what happened last night. This is an unlucky situation that I don’t condone in any way. I am unable to take it flippantly because I do know I can be in real trouble if the roles were reversed.”
He continued: “The fact is that sexual assault is never okay, regardless of gender or status. We are all human and should respect each other. Most importantly, we should always respect ourselves.”
I’ve never even heard of this streamer, but his response (being offended by Michael Rainey Jr’s departure after which making excuses for his terrified sister) is disturbing and dangerous as hell. Men don’t really care about sexual assault and men’s mental health. https://t.co/wUHwJzEbKy

Throughout your complete interaction, James focused on the three young women. However, inside seconds of the groping, Rainey’s friend appeared on camera they usually bantered, presumably about what had just happened.
At this point Jacob asked, “What happened?” Rainey’s friend replied, “We’ll tell you later, brother. We can’t tell you that live.” Much to James’ dismay, the young star reportedly left 20 minutes later.
The steamer was then bombarded with news of the indecent encounter, and the problem was raised in a later broadcast. “My little sister was completely mistaken and out of line. What she did was very inappropriate and unacceptable. “I am truly embarrassed and disgusted by her behavior,” he said.
In his later remarks, he stated that he didn’t feel the have to be more aware of the corporate he kept during live performances. When he released an official statement on the matter, he gained a recent perspective.
In the tweet, James wrote partially: “After watching the clip, I was completely amazed at what she did. I will take special precautions in future streams to avoid similar issues and have banned her from future streams. I do not tolerate any type of assault.”

“Your sister sexually assaulted you and the children were in the room. It needs to be charged and you canceled” – read a comment left under James’ most up-to-date Instagram post from May 4. Next tweet she stated, “Now imagine doing this in a room full of other people and children while being recorded and broadcast live!”
While Rainey has not publicly expressed plans to press charges, it is clear that many individuals who observed the breach consider that Jaghee should face consequences aside from being banned from accessing her brother’s live streams.
