“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea
Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain
peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the
guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks
it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and writeHollywood Hypocrites.”
The confrontation, which took place around 2:00 a.m. on January 23,
2012, at Spike Lee’s Sundance Film Festival after party at Tao night
club, ended with Chris Rock challenging the conservative author to a
fight, says Mr. Mattera:
“Chris Rock shouted, ‘You want to throw down? Let’s throw down right
now!’ Of course, he was standing safely behind two bodyguards when he
said it.”
