Adrien Broner Faces Backlash After Inappropriate Behavior on Live Podcast

Adrien Broner’s Disturbing Incident on Live Podcast

This week, Adrien Broner, the former four-division boxing champion, faced significant public embarrassment after a disturbing incident during a live podcast. The occurrence took place on September 16, 2025, at a Las Vegas recording of the show ‘It Is What It Is’.

Inappropriate Behavior and Intervention

Within moments of starting the segment, Broner began making inappropriate comments aimed at co-host Treasure Wilson, making advances even while her boyfriend was present in the studio. Despite clear protests from Wilson and others on set, Broner continued his behavior, even commenting on another female co-host, Arabia Tillery.

“Cam’ron intervened by abruptly ending the segment and informing Broner that he would be removed from the program.”

Cam’ron went as far as to offer Broner a token payment for his time before the former champion exited the set. The episode quickly went viral, racking up millions of views shortly after the podcast aired. Observers noted Broner appeared to be under the influence during the incident, raising concerns about his state of mind.

Public Reaction and Broner’s Troubling History

Viewer reactions were predominantly supportive of Cam’ron’s intervention, applauding his composed yet assertive approach to managing the situation. This latest incident adds to Broner’s troubling history, which has been marred by personal issues, legal troubles, and erratic behavior outside of the boxing ring.

Just weeks prior to this episode, Broner acknowledged his financial struggles and unsuccessfully sought another fight date from his longtime promoter, Don King. Broner’s issues are compounded by his checkered legal history, including a sexual battery charge in 2018 and a 2019 ruling that required him to pay damages related to a separate assault case.

“While he remains adamant about his aspirations to make a comeback in the boxing ring, each public appearance increasingly raises doubts about his fitness—for combat and his overall well-being.”

Future Prospects

Don King previously hinted at a possible fight for Broner in October or November, but no dates have been finalized as of yet. Broner’s last bout, which took place in June 2024 against the relatively unknown Blair Cobbs, ended in disappointment for the athlete, marking a unanimous decision loss that many viewed as a clear indication of his decline in the sport.
