Following Bowe's Olympic defeat to Lennox Lewis in 1988, Newman welcomed and hired the fighter as his manager. Bowe, his wife, and their two children were relocated to Washington by him. He appointed the seasoned Eddie Futch as Bowe's trainer and persisted in assuring him that he could win the heavyweight title.

In Nevada, Newman is accused of misdemeanor violence and might face sanctions from the Nevada Athletic Commission. After Elijah Tillery, a journeyman boxer kicked Bowe after the first round of their bout at the Convention Center in 1991, Newman jumped up on the ring apron and grabbed him. As a result, he was fined $2,500 by the D.C. Boxing Commission.

The court in D.C. Superior filed a lawsuit alleging that local TV and radio host, trustee of Howard University, and "beloved prodigal son of the DMV," Rock Newman, approached comedian and impressionist Sylvia Morrison-Pitt from behind while she was performing, reached into her dress, stuffed napkins into her bra, and touched her left breast. The incident happened at the annual March on Washington Film Festival at the Burke Theatre in July 2018. 

Morrison-Pitt charges Newman with violence, assault, and causing emotional distress in the complaint. She is asking for $9 million in compensation. If you want to know the case in detail, here is the link.
