Big Tigger Celebrates After Domestic Violence Charges Dropped, Admits He’s Not Ready To Date

Big Tigger walked from a domestic violence case after prosecutors decided not to move forward with the charges, and the Atlanta radio personality made sure everyone knew how rare that decision actually is.

The Fulton County District Attorney’s office issued a public declination statement, which Big Tigger emphasized doesn’t happen often in these types of situations.

He released a video explaining that most DA offices keep their decisions private, but this one came with a full public explanation of why they declined to prosecute.

“I got them charges dropped,” he said. “The district attorney, this is not normal. When they decide to not do the charge, it’s called a declination. Usually they don’t put out a public declaration. I think you should Google the district attorney and the reason she declined my charges. It’s all in there. Like the entire story. It’s like the entire story,” Big Tigger said.

The whole situation started back in May when Sandy Springs police investigated an alleged domestic dispute at Big Tigger’s home involving his estranged wife, Alicia Brown.

According to police records, Brown told investigators that an argument over his cellphone escalated into a physical confrontation where she claimed Big Tigger pushed her into an office door, causing a facial injury that needed medical treatment.

Their teenage son was inside the house during the altercation and heard what happened. Big Tigger denied the allegations from the start.

In June, Sandy Springs police arrested Big Tigger on aggravated battery, battery, and third-degree cruelty to children charges.

He was booked into the Fulton County Jail but released after posting bond.

A judge then granted Brown a temporary protective order requiring Big Tigger to stay at least 200 yards away from her and their children, and she got temporary custody of the kids and exclusive use of their family home.

The situation spiraled from there, with videos circulating online that appeared to show physical altercations between the couple.

The legal chaos expanded when Francesca Amiker, Big Tigger’s V-103 cohost and a former 11Alive anchor, filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Brown in late June.

Amiker alleged that Brown used multiple social media accounts to spread false statements claiming Amiker was having an affair with Big Tigger and was somehow responsible for Brown’s injuries.

According to the lawsuit, Brown posted things like “Someone ask my husband why my face happened @francescaamiker ,” which Amiker says falsely implied she either assaulted Brown or was connected to violence against her.

Amiker claimed the posts went viral, led to harassment and threats directed at her, cost her career opportunities, and forced her to hire a crisis management firm under a 12-month contract.

Meanwhile, Brown’s own legal troubles mounted when she was arrested on July 6 during a traffic stop on Interstate 85 on a Maryland kidnapping warrant connected to the 2019 disappearance of a 10-year-old child.

She wasn’t prosecuted for that arrest, but she filed a federal lawsuit against Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat and his office, alleging the warrant was erroneous and that her arrest violated her constitutional rights.

Brown claimed she had a court order granting her custody of her children less than two weeks before the arrest, and the warrant was later recalled.

She also alleged that Big Tigger received preferential treatment from the sheriff’s office and had unusual access to law enforcement, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

Reflecting on his case being dropped, Big Tigger acknowledged that public perception shaped how people viewed his situation.

“There’s one thing I learned through this process. People going to think what they want to think. People want to believe what they believe. Luckily for me, my name, my history, my character, and all of that, I have 30 years of that on display. And luckily, the majority of people believed in me, stood by me, and represented me. So, thank you for those that did,” Big Tigger said.

Looking ahead, Big Tigger indicated he’s taking time to rebuild his personal life.

When asked about dating, he made clear he’s not ready.

“Am I dating? No, I’m going to need a minute. My trust level in new people is at an alltime low,” he explained.
