Can’t we just all get along? This must be the year of it being on sight because everybody is fighting at these award show parties. Actor, Tom Arnold, and The Apprentice producer, Mark Burnett, allegedly got into a physical altercation at a pre-Emmy’s party.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
“Mark Burnett just went apeshit & choked me at this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain. I’m waiting for LAPD,” Arnold tweeted.
Monday morning, Los Angeles police told The Hollywood Reporter they were aware of an alleged incident between the two men, but a report had not be filed.
Marty Singer, Arnold’s lawyer, confirmed the incident occurred to The Hollywood Reporter and said that Burnett “attacked” Arnold.
Downey tweeted that Arnold “tried to ambush” her and Burnett alongside a photo of a bruised hand, which is presumably hers: “Got this bruise tonight when Tom Arnold tried to ambush my husband Mark and me at a charity event. Is your TV show worth it Tom?”
Arnold later replied to Downey’s tweet: “Bullshit. You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psycho. I’m filing police report & suing you for defamation.”
Arnold is set to debut his upcoming show, Viceland’s The Hunt for the Trump Tapes, on Tuesday. The show will depict Arnold’s attempts to find tapes that Arnold says show Donald Trump expressing bigoted views on the set of Apprentice. Some speculated that the scuffle could have been a stunt.
In recent months, Arnold has been railing against Burnett — executive producer ofThe Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice, on which Arnold was a competitor — over a purported N-word recording of Trump. He also insisted that the so-called “golden shower” tape exists during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
I can’t believe they are acting like this at this types of events. Ratchet activity at its finest.

Roma knocked Bryan Fogel’s phone out of his hand after Mark Burnett chocked me. Bryan came with me. He won the Oscar this year for his amazing documentary Icarus. He has tape. https://t.co/nPJyDAarsE
