Radio Co-Host Sues Big Tigger's Wife for Defamation

The legal saga surrounding radio host Big Tigger (real name Darian Morgan) has taken a new turn. His on-air co-host, journalist Francesca Amiker, has filed a defamation lawsuit against his estranged wife, Alicia Brown. Amiker claims Brown falsely accused her of having an affair with Morgan, calling her a 'homewrecker' on social media.

In the lawsuit, Amiker insists her relationship with Big Tigger has always been strictly professional. She alleges that Brown's posts triggered a wave of online harassment, damaging her reputation, costing her business deals, and forcing her to hire a crisis management team. The journalist is seeking unspecified damages.

This lawsuit is just one piece of a larger legal battle. Big Tigger himself faces charges of domestic battery and child cruelty stemming from a May incident at their Sandy Springs home. Police allege he assaulted Brown, with Ring camera footage showing him grabbing her by the neck and shoving her into a door, causing a deep cut above her eye that required stitches.

Prosecutors also claim the couple's 13-year-old son was home during the altercation, leading to the child cruelty charge. Morgan has denied all allegations, and Brown has been granted a temporary protective order as the criminal case proceeds.

For Amiker, an Emmy-winning journalist, the defamation case is about restoring her professional reputation. For the Morgan family, it adds another layer of public scrutiny to an already explosive situation, potentially influencing the outcome of the criminal trial.
