Bradley Beal’s issue with one fan is far from over right now, as this person has sued the Washington Wizards star for alleged assault and battery. This incident took place on March 21 in Orlando, Florida, and less than a month later, the fan is suing the player.
After allegedly being a victim of assault and battery, this fan is asking for damages exceeding $50,000.
“Plaintiff Kyler Briffa of Orange County, Florida, filed suit Tuesday in Florida’s 9th Circuit Court. The suit alleges that after the Wizards lost to the Orlando Magic at Amway Center, Beal was headed to the locker room when he reacted to a remark made by a friend of Briffa’s about losing a bet, turned around, and hit Briffa on the side of his head, knocking his hat off. According to the police report on the incident, Briffa’s friend remarked to Beal, ‘You made me lose $1,300, you f—.'”
“The suit alleges that during the confrontation, Beal told Briffa, ‘When you disrespect me, I’m going to press you about it. Do you think this is a joke, do you think this is a joke, do you think this is a joke, do you think this is a joke … because when I press you about it, what are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing?'”
This wasn’t a pleasant situation for anybody, and things could get more uncomfortable now. It’s been confirmed that this is a pending civil case, but the state attorney’s office has made it clear they don’t discuss any of their ongoing investigations.
Sports bets have become very serious in the NBA, and some players like Kyrie Irving have already raised their voices against some people overreacting when players don’t reach certain goals.
Bradley Beal Reacted To Incident With Fan
Beal knows that bets can be fun sometimes, like the time Ben Simmons missed a free throw after betting with him, but other times, people take things too seriously and don’t hold back when talking to players.
He already reacted to this incident, saying that he understood that people don’t want to lose money, but it doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want against people and their families.
This was definitely a bad situation, and we hope it gets solved in the best possible way. Losing is a part of betting like it is in sports. And if you can’t accept that, you’re better off spending your money on other things.
