“I am still in shock and don’t fully know how to process what happened last night. This is an unfortunate situation that I do not condone in any way.”
Rainey is not ready to take the incident “lightly” because he “would be in serious trouble if the roles were reversed.”
He continued, “The fact is, sexual assault is never okay, regardless of gender or status. We’re all human, and we should respect each other.”
“Most importantly, we should always respect ourselves.”
Rainey's statement follows shortly after a video depicting an alleged incident of him being groped by James' sister emerged online.
The video features James, a podcaster known for creating and hosting the independent Twitch channel ‘The Tylil Show,’ along with Rainey and a small group of individuals, as they begin a livestream in a confined space.
Soon after starting the livestream, James' sister, Jahgee, is observed behaving inappropriately towards the "Amateur" actor, who appears visibly surprised by the incident.
