Multiple news outlets are reporting on an altercation that happened earlier this morning at BWM Inc. HQ in Stamford, CT.
According to several eye witness accounts, the incident involved “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey and Miss Athena Star. Witnesses stated that Rousey had been at HQ most of the morning, waiting to shoot promotional videos for the upcoming Hell Hath No Fury PPV.
Rousey was allegedly upset that she was left waiting over an hour after her appointment time, as a meeting between Athena Star and Director of Commentary and Communications Renee Young ran long.
When Star exited, Rousey confronted her and an argument took place. Several EWA staff rushed to break up the altercation, which escalated into shoving and punches. Star reportedly suffered a laceration on her temple that required stitches and bruising on her cheek below her right eye. She was treated and released from a nearby hospital.
Star did not respond to requests for comment.
Rousey’s spokesperson released the following:
“Ms. Rousey’s time is valuable and she deserves to be respected. Rousey has several acting projects currently, and the former UFC champion is one of the most recognizable personalities in entertainment. Unfortunately, Miss Athena Star decided that her time was worth more, and left Rousey waiting in a blatant show of disrespect. While we do apologize for this morning’s altercation, Ms. Rousey refuses to be disrespected by yesterday’s news.”
Benny Mouse is reportedly aware of the altercation, though he is refusing to comment at this juncture.
