A Fulton County judge granted a temporary protective order against longtime radio host Big Tigger on Wednesday, requiring him to stay 200 yards away from his wife, Alicia Brown, and their children. The ruling comes days after his arrest on aggravated battery and child cruelty charges.
The former Rap City host, whose legal name is Darian Morgan, must surrender access to the home’s Ring cameras and remote gate controls. Brown was granted temporary custody of the minor children and exclusive use of the family home.
In her petition, Brown claims the altercation occurred in May at their Sandy Springs home. The argument reportedly began after Brown confronted Tigger about text messages he allegedly exchanged with a female co-worker.
According to arrest warrants, Tigger allegedly tackled Brown to retrieve his phone during the bedroom dispute, leaving a bruise on her hip. When she went to their shared home office and unplugged a computer, he allegedly followed her, grabbed her arms, and shoved her into a door. The force caused a deep laceration above her left eye requiring stitches. An interior Ring camera captured the incident.
Brown stated Tigger took her to an urgent care facility that night, claiming she had tripped. Medical personnel contacted police due to the severity of the injury, but Brown initially refused to cooperate, telling investigators she feared retaliation and believed no one would accept her account because of Tigger’s celebrity status.
Brown further alleged Tigger pressured her to deny the incident and threatened that she would “lose everything” if she spoke out. She also claimed he later cut off her access to the home’s security cameras and gate controls.
Tigger was arrested June 20 and released after posting surety bonds totaling $10,000 . He has adamantly denied all allegations. In a statement, he said: “For the past 30+ years, I have built my life around relationships and community. Those who know me know the man, father, husband, and friend I have been”. He maintains confidence in the legal process.
A hearing is scheduled for July 13 to review the protective order .
