The already tense atmosphere at Shaquille O’Neal’s new upscale restaurant in downtown Los Angeles reached a boiling point last night when the legendary NBA star physically ejected acclaimed actor Robert De Niro from the premises. Eyewitnesses report that the altercation began with a heated verbal exchange that quickly turned violent.
According to sources, the incident started when De Niro, who was dining with a group of friends, made a series of comments that Shaq perceived as insulting towards his business venture and his acting abilities. O’Neal, who has appeared in numerous films over the course of his career, took offense and began berating the Oscar-winning actor, calling him a “creepy woke jackass” who “wouldn’t know good acting if it hit him in the face.”
The situation escalated rapidly, with both men standing up from their tables and squaring off against one another. Shaq then allegedly grabbed De Niro by the collar and forcibly dragged him towards the exit, all while hurling a steady stream of profanities. Terrified patrons watched in shock as the 7’1″ basketball legend physically threw the 78-year-old actor out the front door onto the sidewalk.
In the aftermath, Shaq made a brief statement to reporters, making it clear that he has no tolerance for what he called “liberal elitist nonsense” and that he will not allow his establishment to be “polluted by the likes of Robert De Niro.” He went on to accuse the actor of being part of the “woke mob” that is “ruining Hollywood and society as a whole.”
De Niro’s representatives have strongly condemned Shaq’s actions, labeling them as “unprovoked aggression” and “an egregious violation of Mr. De Niro’s rights.” They have indicated that the actor is considering pursuing legal action against O’Neal and his restaurant.
This latest high-profile clash between two titans of the entertainment industry has sent shockwaves through the celebrity world. Fans and observers alike are left to wonder what could have possibly escalated the situation to such an explosive conclusion. One thing is certain – this incident is sure to be a source of intense debate and speculation for days to come.
