“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson left fans divided after seemingly sharing a cryptic message in the wake of his front yard brawl.

Ritchson can allegedly be seen throwing punches at his Tennessee neighbor as his kids watch from the street in video obtained by TMZ

The 43-year-old model-turned-actor took to social media Monday as conflicting accounts of what led to the physical altercation emerged.

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake,” a quote shared by Ritchson on Instagram read.

Ritchson’s cryptic message didn’t sit right with some in his comments.

“Kind of like getting CAUGHT on camera being a bully,” one user wrote. “Man. Shame on you. True masculinity defends the weak and serves those around us. Not what you do. I stand against bullies. Come on over. You are welcome to try and bully me.”

“Bro beat a guy’s a– and aura farms afterward,” another added.

“Disgusting,” a user wrote. “Don’t talk about Church and Jesus ever again. You should be 100% canceled.”

However, the “Titans” star also received support.

“@alanritchson I know you’re way too good of a dude to do that unprovoked,” a commenter wrote. “I’m with Alan all the way on this one.”

“Need more guys like you around brother,” another added.

“True fans love you @alanritchson i don’t for a second believe you would have acted that way without being provoked or assaulted first,” one said.

Brentwood, Tennessee police have closed the investigation, concluding that the star acted in self-defense, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

No charges will be pursued, per the outlet. 

The actor also declined pressing charges against Taylor.

“After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued. Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense,” Captain Steven Pepin of the Brentwood Police Department told THR.

The actor’s neighbor and alleged victim, Ronnie Taylor, claimed the drama began Saturday, TMZ reported.

According to Taylor, Ritchson was seen riding his green Kawasaki bike through the neighborhood Saturday at an excessive rate of speed. The actor returned Sunday around noon, this time with his two kids in tow on their own motorbikes. Taylor confronted Ritchson, leading to a physical altercation.

Sources close to Ritchson told TMZ that the actor did not instigate the fight. While riding motorbikes around the neighborhood, Taylor allegedly ran into the street in a “really aggressive” manner to stop Ritchson.

The insiders claimed Taylor pushed Ritchson off the motorbike twice before the brawl ensued. According to the outlet’s sources, Taylor allegedly “initiated and instigated” the entire confrontation.

Taylor told the Daily Mail that he did not know who the neighbor was and only found out after the altercation. The actor declined to respond when asked if he started the alleged fight.

“I can’t answer questions about that right now, there’s an active investigation,” he told the outlet.

Hollywood director rips ‘smug’ White liberals, says ‘no group is worse’

Published

on

Hollywood director Adam McKay unloaded on White liberals during an interview on Wednesday in a fiery critique of the Democratic Party.

“I could go on with a list of 400 things, the same party that kept healthcare private,” McKay told host Jesse Damiani during his “Urgent Futures” podcast after railing against prominent Democratic Party members. “That, you know, on and on and on. And it was like, we are being hit with the high grade marketing and no group is worse than White liberals.”

“I mean, they are the worst. I’ve tried to talk to them about climate. They are so smug and captured. And really, it boils down to privilege. I mean, when you talk to White money liberals, they’re getting a lot from this broken system. So at some point, I realized these are bad-faith arguments and conversations,” he said.

McKay said he couldn’t support a party that didn’t back universal healthcare.

“You can’t support a party that doesn’t want universal healthcare. The Democrats don’t have that in their party platform. Kamala, Hillary never brought it up. If you were in like Norway or France or Australia. And you were like, we don’t need universal healthcare. People would be like, ‘You are a Nazi,'” he said.

McKay continued, “Like even the neo-Nazi parties in Europe don’t campaign against nationalized healthcare. So I think the U.S. is essentially an island country and no group of people has, you know, heads full of bees more than White liberals. Like, I’ve heard the craziest s— from White liberals.”

McKay argued that White liberals benefit from the system and only care about their class and social scene.

“I almost can say I despise American White liberals,” he said. “They are the grossest of the gross.”

PROGRESSIVE PROFESSOR DITCHES DEMOCRATIC PARTY OVER ‘DEEPLY PROBLEMATIC’ ISSUE: ‘ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH’

McKay announced in 2024, following President Donald Trump’s election victory, that he would be leaving the Democratic Party.

“It is time to abandon the Dem Party,” McKay wrote on X at the time. “I’m registering Green Party or Working Families. But am open to ideas.”

The director ripped the Democratic Party for what he deemed a series of missteps leading up to Election Day, including how it handled former President Biden bowing out of the race to make way for former Vice President Kamala Harris on the ticket.

McKay has in recent years championed progressive causes and has donated millions of dollars to fight climate change. His activism has also bled into his work. His movie “Don’t Look Up,” for instance, served as a critique of a lack of action when it comes to protecting the environment. The 2021 satire film centered on two scientists who tried in vain to warn the world about a planet-destroying comet.

McKay claimed in December 2024 that “America has never been more right wing and propagandized,” after predicting that the film “Wicked” would eventually get canceled.

“On a pure storytelling level, ‘Wicked Part 1’ is right up there as one of the most radical big studio Hollywood movies ever made,” McKay posted on X.
