As TV and radio host Big Tigger officially broke his silence — following his wife Alicia Brown seemingly alleging abuse and an affair — his co-host Francesca Amiker joined him in releasing a statement on-air.
As we previously shared, last Saturday (June 6), Brown took to her Instagram with a graphic video. In the post, which she quickly deleted, she showed off a black and blue eye, with a line of stitches starting from her eyebrow to the middle of her forehead.
In the caption, Brown wrote, “Someone ask my husband why my face happened.” She continued to tag Tigger’s new morning show co-host, Francesca Amiker — who joined Atlanta V-103’s ‘The Big Tigger Morning Show’ as of May 11. While appearing to respond to social users, Brown allegedly continued to speak on Tigger and Amiker:
“He is my husband actually and he asked me to respond to you. Yes we are getting a divorce over his relationship with Francesca but it was not your place to tell everyone. However I do thank you for confirming what I already knew!”
Big Tigger And Francesca Amiker Take To Radio Show To Break Silence On Alicia Brown’s Abuse And Affair Allegations
On Tuesday (June 9), Amiker released an initial statement denying Brown’s “completely false” affair allegations. While Tigger continued to remain silent, TMZ reported on Thursday (June 11) that police identified the radio host as a suspect in a domestic dispute investigation — stemming from an alleged assault in May.
Court documents reportedly identified Tigger, born Darian Morgan, as the suspect in the incident, which showed Brown sought medical treatment for her injures before police were called and opened an investigation. She went to a hospital, with non-life-threatening injuries.

On Friday morning (June 12), all three parties released official statements. Both Tigger and Amiker took to their V-103 radio show to address the abuse and affair allegations. Elsewhere, Brown released an official statement as well, which we previously reposted via Loren Lorosa.
Tigger said:
“I received an Over the past several days, there has been significant public discussion and speculation regarding my personal life.
I understand this can happen when you are a public figure, and I appreciate the support and concern that so many people have shown. I want to say categorically that these allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false. Additionally, it’s important to clarify that Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues. I’d like to apologize to her for the impact of these last few days.
Out of respect for everyone involved, I ask for grace, privacy, and restraint as my family navigates this difficult moment. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving my community through music, entertainment, and connection, and I remain grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me throughout that journey. I intend to continue living and leading in a manner worthy of that trust.”
Brown said:
“I want to be clear: I have never called my husband an abuser. Social media has drawn its own conclusions from information that was shared, but those conclusions are not statements I have made. I respect the legal process and believe law enforcement should be allowed to do its job without interference from anyone, including me.
In recent days, many claims, opinions, and narratives have circulated publicly. While I understand that people will form their own views, I remain confident that the facts will speak for themselves in due time. Until then, my focus remains on my family, my peace, and protecting those I love.
I love my family and I will not engage in public debates, speculation, or personal attacks and bitterness. I am not hiding, and I stand firmly by my character and integrity. I respectfully ask for patience as I follow the guidance of my legal counsel and allow the process to unfold.
Thank you to those who have extended prayers, support, and understanding during this time.”
Amiker, in-part, said:
“This week has been the most challenging moment of my personal and my professional life. Throughout my 16-year career, I’ve worked tirelessly to build a reputation that is rooted in professionalism, integrity and respect. … Those values remain unchanged for me.”
