Theo Von
Grabs Fan By Throat at Nashville Bar

Comic Theo Von was in no laughing temper when he grabbed a fan by the throat at a Nashville bar earlier this month — and we have now the disturbing altercation on video.
Test it out … a person holding some birthday balloons goes as much as Theo however does not again down after a fast back-and-forth, clearly antagonizing him.
Theo appears to be like like he needs to be left alone, and simply seconds into the video you see him wrap his proper hand across the man’s neck and firmly push him again.
The ‘This Previous Weekend’ podcast host stares the sufferer — who’s clearly shocked by being manhandled — down and provides him a chunk of his thoughts earlier than the video cuts off.
And if there’s any query about Theo’s intentions, one eyewitness tells TMZ he used “crushing pressure” and was not enjoying round.
Nevertheless, a supply with direct information tells us the man with the balloons was with a bunch of people that had repeatedly harassed the comic. We’re advised they continued antagonizing Theo and used threatening language … saying they have been making an attempt to screw with him on digital camera.
The altercation went down at The Twelve Thirty Membership in Nashville on Might 2 — in the future earlier than Theo introduced his stand-up tour “Return of the Rat” to Bridgestone Area proper throughout the road.
TMZ spoke with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Division, who confirmed they responded to a misdemeanor assault grievance concerning the incident on Might 4. The investigation decided there might be no motion taken in regards to the grievance.
