Comic Theo Von was in no laughing temper when he grabbed a fan by the throat at a Nashville bar earlier this month — and now we have the disturbing altercation on video.
Test it out … a person holding some birthday balloons goes as much as Theo however would not again down after a fast back-and-forth, clearly antagonizing him.
Theo seems to be like he desires to be left alone, and simply seconds into the video you see him wrap his proper hand across the man’s neck and firmly push him again.
The ‘This Previous Weekend’ podcast host stares the sufferer — who’s clearly shocked by being manhandled — down and offers him a bit of his thoughts earlier than the video cuts off.
And if there’s any query about Theo’s intentions, one eyewitness tells TMZ he used “crushing force” and was not enjoying round.
Nonetheless, a supply linked to Theo — who was within the room — tells us the man with the balloons was with a bunch of people that had repeatedly bothered the comic. We’re advised he stated howdy to them the primary time, however then advised them he did not need to be bothered.
The supply says the group advised Theo stated they had been simply making an attempt to screw with him.
The altercation went down at The Twelve Thirty Membership in Nashville on Might 2 — in the future earlier than Theo introduced his stand-up tour “Return of the Rat” to Bridgestone Area proper throughout the road.
TMZ spoke with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Division, who confirmed they responded to a misdemeanor assault criticism in regards to the incident on Might 4. The investigation decided there will probably be no motion taken regarding the criticism.
