Kai Cenat’s Bodyguard Cuddy Accused Of Assault At Dominican Day Parade

Kai Cenat’s facing a lawsuit after his bodyguard allegedly beat down a man at the Dominican Day Parade without any reason.

Kai Cenat is facing legal trouble after a man claims the streamer’s security detail left him bloodied at a New York parade.

Dustin Batista filed suit against both Kai and his bodyguard Cuddy, alleging he got jumped at the 2025 Dominican Day Parade in the Bronx without any provocation whatsoever.

The incident happened when Batista crossed paths with Kai and Cuddy while they were out celebrating, and things escalated fast from there.

According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Gilbert allegedly struck and punched Batista repeatedly while working as Kai’s security guard.

Batista’s legal team is arguing he did nothing to justify the attack, didn’t threaten anyone, and never consented to any physical contact.

The whole situation went from zero to a hundred in seconds, and now it’s in the courts.

Batista is coming after Cuddy directly for assault and battery, but he’s also targeting Kai on two separate grounds.

First, he’s claiming vicarious liability, meaning Kai bears responsibility for what his employee did while on the job.

Second, he’s alleging negligent hiring, suggesting Kai didn’t properly vet or supervise his security team before putting them in positions where they could hurt people.

That’s a double hit on the streamer’s legal front.

Kai hasn’t responded publicly to the allegations yet, and his team didn’t return requests for comment when TMZ reached out.

The streamer’s been dealing with plenty of drama over the past year, from the Union Square riot situation to relationship issues, so adding a lawsuit to the pile isn’t helping his reputation.

According to reports, he’s managed to dodge criminal charges in other incidents, but this civil case is a different animal entirely.
