As if Ronnie Taylor‘s bad week couldn’t get worse … well, it has! After getting a major ass-whoopin’ by “Reacher” actor Alan Ritchson, Ronnie now says he’s had to endure over 100 threats from people pissed about his fight with the Hollywood star.
Ronnie tells TMZ … he’s been receiving threatening text messages and cell phone calls from Ritchson’s angry fans after their video-recorded battle royale last Sunday on the streets of Brentwood, Tennessee, where both men live.
As we first reported … Ronnie jumped out in front of Ritchson’s motorcycle to stop him from allegedly speeding through the neighborhood, leading to Ronnie’s ass-kicking. The Brentwood PD determined Ritchson acted in self-defense and dropped the case with no formal charges brought against the actor.
According to Ronnie, one of Ritchson’s fans called from a blocked number to say he couldn’t wait for Ronnie to stand in front of his motorcycle so he could watch Ronnie breathe out of a tube. Ronnie said another caller from a blocked number threatened to put him in a wheelchair.
Regarding the text messages, Ronnie says one of them read, “Die, die, die.” And a second text message — Ronnie says — got really personal. The sender stated, “I hope your wife divorces you and your kids never speak to you again and you die a horrible death.”
Ronnie said he sought out the unofficial advice of a police officer, who told him if he feels concerned about the threats, he should file a formal complaint with the PD. But, Ronnie decided the haters are just trolls, so he hasn’t filed a police report … at least for now.
We’ll let you know if something changes.
