Kai Cenat says he's going ahead with a defamation case against Reggie, and he brought it up right after talking about a McDonald's run that caught him off guard. On November 8, a McDonald's employee asked Cenat whether he “Ra*ed” RaKai during a livestream. Cenat later admitted the question was totally unexpected and that dealing with the accusations in person was “crazy.” On the legal side, he said the first part was over and he was now moving into a second phase. He didn't say a defamation lawsuit had been filed already, only that it was “on the way.” The comments came after the clip started circulating.

Kai Cenat Admits the McDonald's Encounter Threw Him Off as He Gives a Legal Update

Cenat talked about it during a follow-up livestream, and he made clear the employee's question was the one thing from the McDonald's visit he couldn't shake off.

“That shit was fun. The only thing that threw me off was that McDonald's thing,” he told viewers.

He also said facing the allegations outside the internet was hard to handle. “Having to deal with shit like that in real life is crazy, dude,”Cenat said.

He didn't spend much time on the employee or the exchange itself. Instead he moved to the dispute with Reggie and said his plans hadn't changed.

“This shit's still going on. Defamation on the way,” he said. Cenat then added, “We got done with the first part, which we won. And now we're going for the second part now.”

Reggie Had Previously Claimed Kai Cenat Never Sued Him After Their November Court Hearing

This update sits on top of a separate legal fight with Reggie, who made allegations about the streamer and RaKai in September. Cenat denied the claims, and RaKai also publicly rejected allegations that he had experienced abuse.

Cenat's legal team sent Reggie a cease-and-desist letter dated October 2, asking him to take down videos that contained the disputed statements. The letter called the allegations“categorically false” and accused Reggie of damaging Cenat's reputation.

Then came the November 3 court hearing. During a livestream, Reggie claimed a judge had ordered him to stay away from Cenat for 12 months. He also insisted Cenat had never sued him for damages.
