What Caused The Jesse Metcalfe Fight?

February 10th, 2008

‘Desperate Housewive’s’ star Jesse Metcalfe and UK rapper Mams Taylor came to blows outside of a Hollywood club on February 7, with Taylor revealing what prompted the sidewalk scuffle.

Video footage of Metcalfe being punched in the face, after talking with actress Taryn Manning and her boyfriend, Taylor, circulated around the internet after the altercation occurred on Thursday night.

Taylor explains to US magazine InTouch that, "I’m an old fashioned guy and I stood up for my woman. Jesse said some inappropriate things and when I tried to diffuse the situation he grabbed my neck, so out of self-defence I knocked him right on his butt."

The up-and-coming rapper also explains that it was him doing all of the punching, saying, "He didn’t get in one good punch but to Jesse’s credit, I lost one my shoes."

Taylor also told OK! Magazine, "Of course I’d rather the incident did not take place. But Jesse was arrogant, insulting and unnecessarily very rude to me as well as my girlfriend. I was also physically attacked first before I defended myself."
