Story still doesn't make sense.

Who cares? He's hot!

You would care, if you was the person he knocked the *beep* out.

The authorities should pull his visa and kick him out of the country.

reply

Yeah, because getting drunk at a party and punching someone is wholly unAmerican. Dirty foreigners!

Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!

My understanding is the dink that he knocked back talked some smack about his wife. It was in a couple of articles. You talk smack about someone's family,you get what you get, in my opinion.
I met him at comic con chicago and he couldn't have been nicer to all of his fans.

That is not true information. That was the narrative that Manu tried to spin in order to protect himself.

The reality is that Manu was hitting on the man's girlfriend, and when the guy stood up for himself, Manu clocked him in the face and shattered his nose, requiring plastic surgery. This is what every witness attested to. There were 11 witnesses.

Manu has quietly paid off the man in attempts to have the charges dropped.

Manu has a history of violent behavior that is fueled by alcohol. He needs help.

Where did you get your info from? I got mine from every article I read about the altercation. Yes, media can be spinned,obviously, but there were also eyewitness accounts in the news that the guy kept after him about his wife's health (she has or hopefully has recovered from cancer). My understanding is this also occurred directly after his good friend passed away.
I like to make determinations myself on whether or not to continue supporting my fave actors, actresses, musicians, and sports stars which is why when something comes up, I research the crap out of it...
