The incident comes just a year after Broillett returned to regular operations after accusations of misconduct. In mid-2022 Tired Hands had found themselves at the center of a series of allegations that included sexism, racism, and misogyny, which would result in the brewing company ultimately removing Broillet from daily operations for a short period of time until his eventual return.
As of this writing court documents show that Broillet is awaiting trial as of June 9th, 2023.
