“Scandal’s” Columbus Short is caught in quite the scandal himself. On March 25, Short was involved in a bar fight in which the alleged victim ended up in the hospital. Now, the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating his involvement.
According to reports, the victim angered Short by disrespecting his wife. “You might be richer than me, but I get my girls to buy me everything I want; including your wife,” the other guy said to Short, instigating a brawl.
Eyewitnesses tell TMZ that “Columbus then came up from behind and sucker punched the guy.” The eyewitness says the man’s nose was broken and he was rendered unconscious for several minutes. “We’re told Columbus quickly left the bar.”
The 37-year-old victim was later taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of a broken nose, busted lip and dental damage.
Unfortunately for Short and his defense, his Los Angeles bar fight is just one of a string of violent arrests, dating back to the beginning of this year.
On Tuesday, Columbus pled not guilty to spousal battery and child abuse after physically attacking his wife in front of his children, a 2-year-old and 10-year-old, due to the emotional trauma their children suffered by watching. Two weeks later, the Gladiator star was arrested in Chatsworth, Calif., for a second time for allegedly pushing his wife during a heated argument.
As for Short’s camp, they have been tight lipped about the whole incident. Will Short fans favor a third time or will his sucker punch be three strikes and you’re out? – ruthie hawkins/@ruubabie
