Twitch streamer Kai Cenat announced his legal team is pushing forward with a defamation lawsuit against former associate Reggie, confirming the case has entered a second phase after an in-person confrontation during a live broadcast brought disputed online claims into public view.
Cenat addressed the litigation directly to his audience following an unscripted clash at a fast-food counter. The streamer was midway through an endurance broadcast attempting to clear every title in the Grand Theft Auto franchise ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto VI. Dressed as protagonist CJ from San Andreas and accompanied by fellow streamer Pudgie, Cenat pulled into a McDonald's drive-thru window during an in-real-life segment. The stop took a sharp turn when an employee questioned him through the vehicle window about unverified allegations circulating on TikTok involving 17-year-old streamer RaKai.
Cenat stepped out of his vehicle to confront the worker inside the restaurant, rejecting the claims on camera.
"You gotta understand, you can't be sayin' that," Cenat told the employee inside the establishment. "That's what they say, but you can't be sayin' that. I'm not joking, bro. That's a crazy accusation to be making. You don't even know what's going on."
Cenat later addressed the toll of having internet rumors spill into public spaces before delivering an update on his legal proceedings against Reggie. The two former collaborators parted ways following a public dispute that erupted between late September and early October, during which Reggie leveled public accusations against Cenat and members of the Clover Boys group. Reggie recently stated that a court ordered him to stay away from Cenat for 12 months.
"The lawsuit is still going on. Defamation is on the way," Cenat told viewers after the incident. "We're still pushing; we got done with the first part, which we won, and now we're going for the second part."
Cenat did not disclose specific court dates or formal filing numbers for the ongoing action. His legal team is expected to advance the next phase of civil proceedings against Reggie in court as Cenat resumes his broadcast schedule.
