'Self-defense can be unavoidable, but the defense of any woman, especially my wife, is not debatable. I consider my reaction subdued considering what occurred, and I hope the man in question learns a lesson and changes his disregard for women.' He went on: 'The violent behavior of a out-of-control security guard should not cast a shadow on the accomplshment of a great young man on the rise [Victor]. 'The blame should fall on the coward who did this, the people who hired him without proper vetting, and a systemic culture of disregard for women within sports and entertainment.' Sam 'can't imagine a scenario where an unarmed female fan showing any kind of excitement or appreciation for a celebrity would cause her to be physically assaulted, much less being hit in the face for tapping someone on the shoulder.' He finished: 'The changes needed will have to come from the top, and I look forward to those changes.' This is a breaking news story, more to follow soon… Check back shortly for further updates.
