All eyes are on Reacher star Alan Ritchson (War Machine, Ordinary Angels) as he takes to Instagram to flaunt his vocal skills in the recording booth, as post-production has wrapped for the fourth season of the Prime Video hit show. Although it must be noted that his vocal skills are not what got him the attention this week, rather it was confirmation of his fighting skills in real life.
Earlier this week, Outkick reported that Ritchson’s neighbor found out exactly how far he can reach. In multiple dramatic videos posted to social media, the star can be seen giving his neighbor, whom Outkick referred to as a “male Karen,” the business end of his fists. This all stemmed from his neighbor, who has been identified as Ronnie Taylor, donning a “battleground” T-shirt and then placing himself in the way of Ritchson as he was riding a motorcycle with his children. The fight went exactly as you would expect, and there were zero charges filed against either participant. Many fans congratulated the star for showing his boys what a real man looks like when confronted with a situation that escalates into becoming physical.
Later, TMZ posted a video of Taylor milking a shiner and trying to drum up sympathy. In an absolutely comical fact check, a community note was added to the video claiming, “Ronnie Taylor started the altercation by standing in the road wanting Alan Ritchson to hit him with his motorcycle.” This whole incident couldn’t have been timed more perfectly with the wrapping of the fourth season. Some might think it was orchestrated to draw attention to the new season, while others may assume Taylor was simply chasing clout or looking for a lawsuit. Either way, Jack Reacher has proven his ability to make great TV in and out of the studio.
