More information is coming to light in Alan Ritchson’s neighborly brawl!
Over the weekend, the Reacher star got into a grisly battle with a neighbor in his Brentwood, Tennessee neighborhood over some unwelcomed motorbike riding. Alan was cruising up and down the neighborhood on a motorcycle followed by his two kids when peeved resident Ronnie Taylor darted out into the street, blocking Alan’s path, causing him to crash.
In footage recorded by another neighbor, you can see Alan delivering some major blows to Ronnie, who fell to the ground. Sources quickly reported it was Ronnie who instigated the whole mess as he allegedly pushed Alan back down to the ground multiple times as the actor attempted to pick up his bike and ride off, resulting in the blowout. Watch HERE.
On Monday, Ronnie showed his bumped and bruised face in an interview with TMZ to give his perspective on the situation. He claimed Alan’s incessant “revving and speeding” began on Saturday, and that he tried to ask politely that day to slow it down, unaware of who was behind the helmet. The next day, he was outside of his home cleaning his own motorbike when more of the same occurred, prompting him to block the road leading to the confrontation:
“I walked out in front of him and said, ‘You’ve got to stop, someone is going to get hurt.’ It escalated quite quickly from there. I did push him because he was coming towards me on his bike. He did it a second time, I pushed him a second time, and I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap out of me.”
We all saw that for sure!
He concluded:
“I don’t wish the guy any malice or ill will, but we just don’t need people riding through neighborhoods like this, and I just decided I’m going to take a stand because someone has to. It’s going to end up way worse than it could.”

Alan went on to share a cryptic message on Instagram on Monday night about an “enemy.” See (below):

Now, the Fast X actor’s own body cam footage has been released, revealing just how tense things truly got!
In the blow-by-blow footage, everything we’ve heard is seen… Ronnie runs into the road, Alan crashes, and then Alan unleashes his fury. But a TON of expletives were also thrown back and forth in the altercation! Ronnie accused Alan of riding “like a f***ing lunatic,” and Alan yelled back that the neighbor was out of his “f**king mind” and even asked if he had been drinking. Alan also told Ronnie he should have just ran him over. Watch the violent footage (below):
Yeesh!
Alan has since been cooperating with cops but no charges have been filed… it might just end up being a case of mutual combat!
Reactions??
