As earlier said by The Shade Room, Michael appeared on ‘The Tylil Show’ live stream on June 9. The final season of ‘Power’ is now airing and Rainey was on the stream to promote the program.
Tylil, also familiar as Ty Ty James, had his family in the mix as he streamed with the actor. During the shooting, his sister, Jahgee, enters the frame and seemingly starts to grope Michael.
A little girl in a green shirt is standing in front of him blocking the assault from view. There were also 2 more little girls present in addition to other men in the room.
Michael says, “Whoa,” as soon as Tahgee seemingly makes contact with his private area, and looked to be in shock. He slowly moves her hand away. But, Jahgee is seemingly persistent and tried to continue to grope him.
A man off-camera sees what happen and walks up to Rainey. He and the guy laugh. Tylil notices something is happening but doesn’t know exactly what. When he inquires, the man says, “Bro, we’ll tell you later. We can’t tell you on this s***.”
Rainey released a statement on June 10 condemning Tylil’s sister’s actions. He said that he was “still in shock” and “sexual assault is never okay, regardless,
