Alan Ritchson’s Neighbor Shares His Version of the Fight with Actor
Alan Ritchson’s neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, has presented his perspective after a fight with the Reacher star.
According to Taylor, the trouble started Saturday when he accused Ritchson of racing his motorcycle through their street. Discussing the following day, Taylor said he was washing his bike in front of his house when Ritchson crossed by twice.
“When he came a second time, I went outside, blocked his way and said, ‘You have to stop. Somebody is going to get injured, ‘” Taylor stated. However, he confessed that he twice pushed the actor, which, he said, the whole issue got out of hand rapidly.
“I believe that the second time he got off his bike, and he punched me badly, ” Taylor remembered. “He hit me from behind my head. I fell to the ground and protected myself.”
Shortly after, a TikTok video of the event allegedly taken from a body camera attached to Ritchson’s chest was posted. However, Page Six couldn’t authenticate the video.
In the footage, Taylor blocked the way of Ritchson and two kids on motorcycles by standing in the middle of the road, which caused the actor to fall off his vehicle.
The two exchanged heated words before Ritchson mounted his motorcycle, revved the engine several times, and told Taylor, “f, king move.” However, Taylor still didn’t move as he shoveled both the bike and Ritchson twice. This provoked Ritchson to push Taylor down; then, he punched and kicked him.
Addressing the incident was not Ritchson’s choice when he was interviewed by the Daily Mail on Monday, but he later shared on Instagram a quote by Napoleon Bonaparte saying, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
