The girlfriend of Island Boy Kodiyak Redd is the subject of a lawsuit reportedly being brought by controversial comedian and motivational speaker Charleston White. White is renowned for his ruthless criticism and high-profile celebrity boxing matches.

The confrontation allegedly began when the lady spat on White's wife. Since this action is legally considered an offense, White has pledged to pursue both criminal and civil prosecutions.

White goes on in the social media video that spitting on someone else is a Class B misdemeanor assault in Texas with a six-month possible jail term. He made it apparent that the lady would be charged both civilly and criminally.


The reason why Charleston White is suing Island Boy KodiyakRedd's girlfriend

Charleston White, 48, is an activist and musician from Fort Worth, Texas. Growing up in harsh environments, including an early incarceration and losing his right eye in an accident, White's life altered dramatically. Later, he earned a degree in criminal justice and founded Helping Young People Excel. He has recently been a regular guest at celebrity boxing bouts, often generating discussion with his candid attitude.

One of the Island Boys that gained notoriety in 2024 for their beach-style rap videos that went popular on TikTok and YouTube is Kodiyak Redd, often known as the Island Boy. Redd's public image blends laid-back tropical pictures with forceful, attention-grabbing gestures as a great juxtaposition to Charleston White's no-holds-barred insult comedy.

The June 22, 2025, boxing fight between White and Kodiyak Redd was discussed on Adin Ross's Brand Risk 008 program. White talked about the alleged altercation, where Redd's girlfriend spat on White's wife.

Texas Penal Code Section 22.01 says that if physical contact is "unconsented" and "offensive," it might be deemed assault. Texas courts have ruled that spitting constitutes an assault because it is a harmful or insulting touch, even though it is more frequently associated with hitting or hurting someone.

If the state chose to go after Redd's partner, she may get fines, jail time (up to six months), and a misdemeanor conviction. In this case, Charleston White's wife could ask for compensation to cover the shame, emotional pain, and any physical injury that the incident may have caused.

White's quick ascent to fame in the boxing world has come with a lot of public feuds, including this one. White dislocated his opponent's shoulder at the weigh-in for their Island Boy fight in April 2025. And in the past, he had legal difficulties in 2022 with rapper Soulja Boy.
