<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The comments section was filled with strong reactions from followers, who called out the self-professed Christian for his behavior. Others defended Ritchson, saying they believed he had been acting in self-defense. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was announced on Tuesday that the Brentwood Police Department would not be pressing charges against Ritchson after reviewing video footage. “Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense. Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges,” they said, as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-deliver-closure-on-reacher-stars-viral-fist-fight-case"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This man was punching a guy face half of his size multiple [times] when the guy was already down but we all gonna make excuses for him?” one commenter wrote. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It doesn&#8217;t matter if someone pushed you first, you push back, you punch once. He was not in control of his emotions, especially with his kids around… he need[s] anger control and that is a fact. We shouldn&#8217;t make excuses for him because he is a celebrity.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Disgusting. Don&#8217;t talk about Church and Jesus ever again. You should be 100% canceled,” a third commenter agreed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He is trying to normalize what he did. if you are attack somebody it means you already lost. you have the money you have the fame and beating up someone in middle of the street? No man. This is not good. I am not gonna clap that,” another agreed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, after seeing the full version of the video, plenty of viewers defended Ritchson’s reaction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The POLICE said it was self defense. The haters can pound sand,” one person argued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re all on your side bro… defending yourself and your children,” another wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Your neighbor challenged you in front of your family, no man accepts that, you did the right thing, congratulations,” a third person shared.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ritchson made headlines when video of the bloody altercation circulated online, and TMZ published a story that included comments from Taylor explaining what happened.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taylor blamed Ritchson, saying that he had confronted the “Reacher” actor over his loud motorcycle. He stated that he had not known prior to the interaction that Ritchson was an actor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It escalated quite quickly from there,” Taylor said. “I did push [Ritchson] because he was coming towards me on his bike.” Taylor then got in Ritchson’s face, as two kids watched, and the actor shoved Taylor to the ground. Taylor got up and pushed Ritchson off his motorcycle, prompting Ritchson to start swinging. He kept punching until Taylor stopped coming after him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The whole interaction was recorded by a body camera the actor was wearing, with that footage being released later. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ritchson went viral for controversial comments he made about President Trump while <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/alan-ritchson-interview-reacher-faith-stardom-mental-health-1235864260/">speaking</a> with The Hollywood Reporter in 2024.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m a Christian quite simply because of what Jesus calls us to do. Love other people until death. It doesn’t mean we’re all to be hung on a cross, but how can I suffer for you? That is a beautiful thing,” he told the outlet, going on to describe how he felt about the president.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it,” the actor said. “Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”</span></p>
