‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson’s neighbor speaks out after wild street fight
“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson’s neighbor detailed how the actor allegedly “kicked the crap” out of him in his front yard over the weekend.
Ronnie Taylor told TMZ on Monday he confronted Ritchson after the latter was allegedly repeatedly driving his motorcycle too fast down their street in Tennessee.
Taylor claimed he didn’t know Ritchson was famous when he told the Prime Video star on Saturday to slow down to prevent anyone from getting hurt.

“Then, on Sunday, when I was cleaning my bike outside my house, he rode past once, twice, and on the second time, I walked out in front of him, and I said, ‘You got to stop. Someone’s going to get hurt,’” Taylor recalled.
“Then it escalated quite quickly from there. I did push him because he was coming toward me on his bike,” Taylor admitted.
Taylor alleged that Ritchson approached him a second time on his bike and that he “pushed him again,” adding, “I think the second time he got off his bike, and he kicked the crap out of me.”
“He hit me in the back of my head [and] I went to the ground and covered myself,” Taylor claimed, explaining he doesn’t wish the “Fast X” star any “ill will.”

Taylor has also admitted to giving Ritchson, 43, the middle finger, which was returned.
The incident occurred in front of two kids, who appeared to be the actor’s sons, whom he has with his wife, Catherine Ritchson.
Taylor showed off some marks, revealing a bruise and scratches on his forehead, nose and chin.
A rep for Ritchson wasn’t available to Page Six for comment.
On Sunday, the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” star was allegedly seen in a video obtained by TMZ beating a man in broad daylight.
Footage showed Taylor kneeling on the floor as Ritchson appeared to hit him “at least four times.”
