Tom Arnold And Mark Burnett Got Into A Pre-Emmy Party Fight (UPDATE)
“DAMN, that’s some good coke” is probably what several people said after watching super producer Mark Burnett (he does Survivor, The Voice, Shark Tank, Celebrity Apprentice, and a few Jesus movies, etc…) choke out Tom Arnold as his wife Roma Downey screamed she was touched by a devil! Although, a middle-aged man throwdown between Tom Arnold and Mark Burnett isn’t that random since Tom has made it his mission to get the tapes of Trump being Trump (read: mouth-farting out racist fuckery) on the set of Celebrity Apprentice, and thinks Mark is trying to protect Trump by not releasing the tapes. It all came to a head last night and Tom and Mark busted out a messy scene that is definitely more exciting than the Emmys itself.
Variety says that shit got messy at around 9:30 last night outside of a fundraiser for the Motion Picture Television Fund at the Lawn at Century Park. Witnesses say that as Tom and Mark were going into the party and got into a fight. Tom pointed the finger at Mark as the motherfucker who started it all and claimed he got choked out before Mark ran off with a torn Pink shirt. Because Tom capitalized “Pink,” I’m going to take it that Mark was wearing a midriff Pink concert shirt with his gold chain.
Mark Burnett just went apeshit & choked me at this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain. I’m waiting for LAPD

Roma quickly testified in the court of Twitter, claiming that she got a bruise on her hand from Tom going at her husband. Roma also brought up Tom’s show for Vice, The Hunt For The Trump Tapes. Sadly, Roma didn’t mention anything about punching Tom after saying, “You’re about to get punched by an angel, trick!” Really, what’s the point of Roma being on that show if she’s not going to use lines like that during pre-Emmy party fights?
Tom let Roma know that she’s lying and he’s going to sue her for lying:
Bullshit. You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psycho. I’m filing police report & suing you for defamation. https://t.co/9yXAEXM6na

Tom tweeted that Roma got into the messy action too:
Roma knocked Bryan Fogel’s phone out of his hand after Mark Burnett chocked me. Bryan came with me. He won the Oscar this year for his amazing documentary Icarus. He has tape. https://t.co/nPJyDAarsE

And because he’s got a show to sell, he used the opportunity of people looking at his Twitter page to whore out his show while also accusing Roma of lying about her bruise:
Mark Burnett doesn't seem too thrilled about my new tv show. #TheHuntForTheTrumpTapes Starts Tuesday 10:30p @VICELAND & we do a Mark Burnett/Apprentice episode the first night. Yes Roma, saving my country is worth it. Brutal bruise. Should've gone to a dr last wk when you hurt it

The fight was eventually broken up by security (and according to Alyson Hannigan, Jeff Probst too) and both Tom and Mark were allowed into the party:
Jeff Probst tried to break it up…CRAZY!!!

And once inside, the celebrities took sides. Patton Oswalt declared that he’s Team Tom:
I’m with @TomArnold, everyone. He’s okay. We gotta protect this brutal angel. pic.twitter.com/9grT4QTVZK

Kevin Bacon is apparently a witness and might be Team Tom too:
FYI: Kevin Bacon is a solid reliable brawl witness. Sosie Bacon is a wingman.

And Billy Eichner got a picture with a post-fight Tom:

TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter both say that no police report has been filed yet.
Who to believe, who to believe?! Do I believe Mark Burnett who is probably a Trump Tramp, even though he says he isn’t, and is most likely protecting Trump? Do I believe Jesus’ main homegirl Roma Downey who would never commit a sin by lie-telling? Or do I believe Tom Arnold who could possibly be exaggerating this shit to shamelessly promote his show? 2018 Me is about to type, “I believe Tom,” as 1990s Me looks at 2018 Me while saying, “Bitch, really?”
But for now, let’s let Nancy Sinatra have the last word:
Seriously? Who is Mark Burnett? Sorry to be stupid but I don't know and I'm too tired to google.

UPDATE: Witnesses tell TMZ that Tom was the one who went after Mark first. Tom pushed Mark, Mark pushed Tom, and Tom ripped off Mark’s crucifix. Jesus has officially been brought into this mess. Tom has also filed a police report and is going to the doctor because he’s afraid his vocal cords were damaged from getting choked out by Mark. If Tom’s vocal cords got damaged, how is he going to scream the date and time of his new TV show while screaming about how Mark almost tried to murder him?! Oh I guess he always has his tweetin’ fingers.
