From Page Six: Alan Ritchson is “happy to be back” after a “crazy week” that involved a wild fight with his neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, in Tennessee.
The “Reacher” star took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that he wrapped production on Season 4 of the hit action crime series.
“Here we are in the ADR booth for the very last time for Season 4 of ‘Reacher,’” Ritchson, 43, began in the clip, which marked his return to social media since being caught on camera fighting neighbor Ronnie Taylor over the weekend. “We are dunzos. This thing is going to be hitting the airwaves very soon. Best season yet.”
In the caption of his Instagram video, Ritchson wrote, “Happy to be back in the booth after such a crazy week! That’s a wrap for me on post-production — #Reacher Season 4.”
“This is, without a doubt, the most gripping season yet. I think we hit our stride. Firing on all cylinders … as it were,” he said.
Ritchson became the focus of a disturbing moment caught on video this week during a dispute with a neighbor.
According to witnesses, the actor was riding through his neighborhood on a motorcycle, followed by his kids on their own bikes. Taylor apparently took offense to the noise they were producing and proceeded to confront Ritchson. The confrontation ended with Ritchson being knocked from his bike before he pummeled Taylor with several blows.
While Ritchson declined to comment on the incident, citing an active police investigation when questioned by the Daily Mail on Monday, Taylor has been sharing his side of the story with media outlets. He admitted to confronting Ritchson and said he only pushed the actor off his bike because Ritchson appeared to be trying to run him over.
Ritchson later shared what appeared to be a pointed quote on Instagram, attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, that said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
Then, footage from Ritchson’s own body camera was released. It told a very different story.
In the video, Ritchson was driving along a curved road when Taylor can be seen stepping out in front of the bike, causing Ritchson to halt quickly and fall. Taylor then launches into a foul-mouthed tirade about Ritchson disturbing the peaceful neighborhood. As Ritchson tries to leave the situation, Taylor appears to block him and then knock him from his bike, ignoring several warnings from Ritchson to stand down.
At that point, Ritchson retaliates and lands several blows to Taylor’s abdomen.
According to media personality Collin Rugg, Brentwood Police are not filing charges against Ritchson as he acted in self-defense.
JUST IN: Brentwood Police say ‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson acted in self-defense, say no charges will be filed.
The development comes as new footage appears to show Ritchson’s neighbor blocking the road while he was on his motorcycle.
