American actor, Samuel L. Jackson and his wife of 42 years LaTanya Richardson reportedly got into a fight at a theater gala which led to him leaving early despite the couple being honored.
The celebrity couple were in attendance at the Theatre Communications Group gala in New York City when the alleged incident occurred.
A rep for the gala released a statement which read: ‘As the top-billed star of The Piano Lesson, Mr. Jackson is extraordinarily cautious about the risk putting the production in jeopardy by exposing himself to COVID-19. Ms. Jackson accepted on behalf of both she and her husband simply to minimize his risk of exposure. Mr. Jackson had only ever planned on doing photos and then leaving, as everyone involved with planning the event knew in advance.
