In a surprising turn of events, Nick Cannon has responded with compassion to shocking allegations made by former "That's So Raven" star Orlando Brown during a recent Twitch livestream.
During the stream hosted by Deshae Frost, Brown, 37, made explicit claims about an alleged sexual encounter with Cannon, 44. Brown also made additional allegations involving Cannon's ex-wife Mariah Carey and comedian Kevin Hart.
Rather than responding with anger or denial, Cannon took to the comments section of Hollywood Unlocked's repost of the video with words of support for Brown. "Man I love this brother Orlando!" Cannon wrote in his since-deleted comment. "Sincerely I believe this young man is brilliant and beyond talented!"
The "Masked Singer" host expressed concern for Brown's wellbeing, stating that it "hurts me to see him crash out like this." Cannon also criticized media outlets for what he views as exploitation of Brown's situation.
During the livestream, Brown made several animated claims, putting his face close to the camera while making explicit statements about the alleged encounter. He also made unsubstantiated claims about Cannon's relationships with Mariah Carey and Kevin Hart.
This incident has drawn attention to both celebrities, with many commending Cannon's measured and compassionate response to Brown's controversial claims.
