Julian Newman faces social media backlash and abuse allegations

Julian Newman, a former basketball player and social media personality, is facing scrutiny regarding two separate personal controversies.

First, Newman addressed backlash after admitting he encouraged his sister, Jaden Newman, to join OnlyFans when she turned 18. He clarified that his suggestion was intended as a business opportunity to monetize her large social media following through non-explicit content, such as workout clips and lifestyle posts, rather than sexually explicit material.

Separately, Newman is facing allegations of physical and emotional abuse from his former girlfriend, Janaya Berry. Berry released TikTok videos and photographs showing bruises, alleging that Newman was physically abusive during their relationship. One video appears to show Newman in a confrontation with Berry. Newman has denied the allegations, describing the claims as a ‘one-sided’ portrayal of an ‘unhealthy and toxic’ relationship and stating he possesses evidence that provides further context.
