A recent brawl erupted at the popular Miami hotspot, Gekko restaurant, where Lionel Messi and the Beckham family were enjoying an evening outing.
A diner claims he was beaten by the security after an alleged dispute over taking photos. The incident occurred on Friday, during the celebration of the diner’s daughter’s 21st birthday.
According to the victim, security reacted aggressively when his family attempted to take a photo, wrongly assuming they were trying to capture an image of Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.
Denying the accusation, the diner stated, “They jumped at us, they kicked me out and punched me in the face. Just because my homeboy was trying to take a picture with his wife, not with Beckham or Messi, nothing. It was a family thing.”
The situation quickly escalated as security forcefully removed the diner from the premises, leaving him with a bloody face.
In the aftermath, a woman can be heard defending the diner, exclaiming, “He’s a family man, celebrating his daughter’s 21st birthday.”
Amidst the chaos, Victoria Beckham swiftly escorted her 12-year-old daughter, Harper, out of the restaurant, ensuring her safety before placing her in a security-driven SUV.
Prior to the altercation, Antonela had posed for pictures with her husband and Victoria Beckham. The incident occurred shortly after their victorious 4-0 match against Charlotte FC in the Leagues Cup.
The Gekko restaurant, owned by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and entrepreneur David Grutman, are yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
