Alan Ritchson, the actor from Reacher, was reportedly in a physical fight with a neighbor in Brentwood, Tennessee over the weekend. People close to Ritchson say he didn’t start the fight and that his neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, was the one who began the conflict.
Witnesses say Ritchson was riding his motorcycle with his two children on mini-bikes Sunday afternoon when a man, Taylor, unexpectedly ran into the road and confronted him. Ritchson was reportedly pushed, causing him to fall off his motorcycle and suffer minor scrapes, bruises, and a small injury to his finger.
According to a source at TMZ, the incident began with someone pushing actor Joe Ritchson off his motorcycle twice. Ritchson initially tried to de-escalate the situation and leave, but the other person, Taylor, kept provoking him. After being pushed again, Ritchson defended himself, and the encounter was caught on video. The video shows Ritchson hitting Taylor before leaving with his children on his motorcycle.
Sources say Alan Ritchson, the lead actor in “Reacher,” was involved in an altercation with a neighbor in Tennessee on Sunday, reportedly resulting in a physical fight. It appears Ritchson may have mistakenly believed he was still on set during the incident.

Taylor reported to police that Ritchson had been driving his motorcycle dangerously in the area for a couple of days. However, people close to Ritchson claim Taylor actually started and fueled the argument. Ritchson is helping the police with their investigation, and no one has been arrested.
This situation demonstrates that disagreements can happen anywhere, even in peaceful areas, and how rapidly they can get out of hand. Alan Ritchson, known for generally keeping his personal life private, is now unexpectedly at the center of a very public conflict.
