A TV star's street brawl, a judge blows up a Hollywood hush deal, and a beloved actor dies too soon.
The actor who plays an unstoppable action hero punched a neighbor to the ground in a Tennessee suburb — and walked away without charges. A Los Angeles judge refused to let Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner bury the financial terms of their sex tape settlement with Ray J. And Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon, who spent two decades losing a very public battle with addiction and the law, died in his sleep at fifty-four, leaving behind a complicated legacy and a fan base that loved him anyway.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.919
Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Garrett Fisher. Friday, April third,
2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.960
twenty twenty six. Three stories today. All of them involve
3
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.199
famous people behaving badly, or famous people paying the price
4
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.679
for behaving badly a long time ago, or, in one case,
5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.039
a famous person who spent his entire adult life behaving
6
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.679
badly and then died at fifty four before he ever
7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.039
really got a handle on any of it. First, the
8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.560
actor who plays Jack Reacher six foot three, two hundred
9
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.880
and fifty pounds, walks through walls and snaps bad guys
10
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.840
in half for a living, got into an actual fistfight
11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.119
in a quiet Tennessee suburb last month with a neighbor
12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.799
over a motorcycle. He punched the man to the ground
13
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.039
multiple times while his kids watched, and then he drove away.
14
00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:00.560
Police investigated and concluded it was self defense, no charges filed. Second,
15
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.400
a Los Angeles judge told Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner
16
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.159
this week that no, they cannot keep the terms of
17
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.280
their sex tape settlement with Ray J locked behind a
18
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.280
courthouse seal. The six million dollar figure has been floating
19
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.239
around for years now. The court says the public has
20
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.239
a right to know the details, and that the Kardashians
21
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.400
presented zero admissible evidence that disclosure would actually hurt them.
22
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.359
And Third, Nicholas Brendan, who played Xander Harris on Buffy
23
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.799
the Vampire Slayer, died in his sleep on March twentieth.
24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.799
He was fifty four years old. His death was not
25
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.480
a surprise to anyone who had followed his life after
26
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.599
the show, and that is a sentence that should give
27
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.920
us all pause. We'll get into all of it. Stay
28
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:54.359
with me. Let's start with Alan Richson. If you don't
29
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.640
watch Reacher on Prime video, here's the setup. Alan Richson
30
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.799
plays Jack Reacher, the fictional ex military terry drifter who
31
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.519
wanders into trouble and dismantles it, usually with his hands.
32
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:11.080
The show is enormously popular. Richson is enormous period. The
33
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.479
man is built like a piece of machinery, playing an
34
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.719
unstoppable force of physical justice. Is professionally speaking, his whole thing,
35
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.960
which makes what happened on the afternoon of March twenty
36
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.680
second in Brentwood, Tennessee so interesting. Brentwood is a wealthy
37
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.960
suburb south of Nashville. Nice streets, nice houses, the kind
38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.960
of neighborhood where people tend to know each other. Richson
39
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.240
lives there with his family, and on that Saturday, he
40
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.120
was out riding his motorcycle, a green Kowasaki, with his
41
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.680
two sons following behind on their own bikes. Ronnie Taylor
42
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.199
lives nearby. He was outside that afternoon too, according to
43
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.360
the police report, and had noticed the motorcycles going up
44
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.319
and down his street at what he felt was an
45
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.240
unsafe speed with two children in tow, so he walked
46
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.400
out into the middle of the road to stop them.
47
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.879
What happened next is documented in surveillance video, a police report,
48
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.719
and the competing accounts of two men who both believed
49
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.639
they were in the right. Taylor's version, he stepped out,
50
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.879
tried to tell the rider to slow down, and the
51
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.840
driver fell off the bike. Then, without much warning, the
52
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.479
man started swinging at him. After getting punched, Taylor pushed back.
53
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.159
The rider returned to his motorcycle. Taylor was still yelling
54
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.319
and came back at him a second time, threw him
55
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.360
to the ground and punched him repeatedly while Taylor was
56
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.719
on his hands and knees on the grass. Then Richson left.
57
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.879
Richon's version, per the police report, Taylor stepped directly into
58
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.000
his path and caused him to break suddenly, going from
59
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:48.360
approximately seventeen miles per hour to zero almost instantly, which
60
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.120
caused him to crash and go over the handlebars. He
61
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.639
asked Taylor if he'd been drinking. Taylor admitted he had,
62
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.400
and when Taylor kept getting in his face and yelling,
63
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.800
Richson felt physically threatened. The police reviewed the video. It
64
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.319
confirmed both things. Richton punched Taylor multiple times while Taylor
65
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.520
was on the ground. It also confirmed Taylor had physically
66
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.759
inserted himself into Richard's path. Officers noted Taylor had a
67
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.839
strong odor of alcohol on him, though one officer, to
68
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.839
his credit noted he didn't personally smell it and another did.
69
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.279
Taylor said he'd had a drink during a soccer match
70
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.920
at home. He wasn't exactly sober, and he wasn't exactly
71
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.160
falling over either. Taylor's injuries were documented in the report,
72
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.800
a large bleeding bump above his left eyebrow, his nose
73
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.120
and jaw red and inflamed, consistent with being punched in
74
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.319
the face, an abrasion on his forearm. He declined medical treatment.
75
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.759
Richton had a scraped elbow and jam thumbs. He also
76
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.759
declined medical treatment. The Brentwood Police Department closed the case
77
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.120
self defense determination, no charges filed. Now, let me be
78
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.079
honest with you about it's something. Self defense is a
79
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.600
legal standard, and the police applied it here as they
80
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.839
saw fit. Taylor did step in front of the motorcycle.
81
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.839
Taylor did allegedly shove Richson after the initial altercation. Those
82
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.759
facts matter legally. I understand why investigators reached the conclusion
83
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.600
they did. But here's what The video also shows a
84
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.079
man on his hands and knees in the grass while
85
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.079
a much larger man stands over him and punches him
86
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.759
rich since kids are there watching, and then Richson gets
87
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.360
back on his bike and rides away. That's not a mistake,
88
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.839
that's a choice. There's also this. Ronnie Taylor told TMZ
89
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.959
this week that since the story broke, he has received
90
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.240
more than one hundred threatening messages. One caller allegedly told
91
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.680
him he couldn't wait to see Taylor gasping for air
92
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.879
through a tube. Another threatened to put him in a wheelchair.
93
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.319
A text simply said, and I'm reading this directly from
94
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.000
the report, Die Die die. Taylor said He's not going
95
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.720
going to the police over it. He described it as trolling.
96
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.639
He also said he has no intention of suing Richson.
97
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.360
Think about that for a second. The man got punched
98
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.839
to the ground by a celebrity, walked away with a
99
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.759
bleeding head wound, and is now receiving death threats from
100
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.079
that celebrities fans, and he's the one being talked about
101
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.439
as if he's the aggressor in this story. Nobody was
102
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.560
paying attention to him. Alan Richson's publicist did not return
103
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.879
requests for comment from multiple outlets. His representatives have largely
104
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.040
let the self defense ruling do the talking for them,
105
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.319
which from a legal standpoint, is a perfectly reasonable strategy.
106
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.319
From a human standpoint, a neighbor with a bleeding face
107
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.360
got beaten up in front of his house, and the
108
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.160
guy who did it is currently on a hit streaming
109
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:56.720
show Make of that what you will. In two thousand
110
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.759
and seven, a DVD called Kim Kardashian Super was released
111
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.040
by Vivid Entertainment. It was forty one minutes long. It
112
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.920
featured footage recorded in two thousand and three of a
113
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.920
then twenty two year old Kim Kardashian and her then
114
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.040
boyfriend Ray J. You know the rest or at least
115
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.199
you think you do. The tape did not destroy Kim
116
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:22.519
Kardashian's career, it arguably launched it. Within a year, keeping
117
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.360
up with the Kardashians was on e and the family
118
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.279
was on their way to becoming one of the most
119
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:32.519
commercially successful entertainment franchises in American history. Whether the tape's
120
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.720
release was an accident of miscalculation or something more deliberate,
121
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.360
has been a matter of public dispute and private litigation
122
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.720
ever since. In twenty twenty three, Kim Kardashian and Ray
123
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.839
j reached a settlement over the tape. The figure most
124
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.839
commonly reported is six million dollars. The terms were sealed.
125
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.399
Kim wanted them to stay that way, so did her mother,
126
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.480
Chris Jenner. This week, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge
127
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.519
said no. Judge Stephen A. Ellis, denied the Kardashian's motion
128
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.160
to maintain the seal on the settlement agreement and its
129
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.959
related documents. The ruling was pointed the court found that
130
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.319
Kardashian and Jenner had presented, in the court's words, no
131
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.000
admissible evidence that disclosure of the settlement agreement would cause
132
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.040
them any harm. Their arguments were characterized as too vague, speculative,
133
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.959
and unsupported to justify sealing. The court was also precise
134
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:31.199
about what this case is actually about, not the tape
135
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.600
itself that has been publicly disclosed for nearly twenty years.
136
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.639
The question is whether the financial terms of a private
137
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.080
legal agreement between two parties should be accessible to the public,
138
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.759
and on that question, the court came down clearly on
139
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.720
the side of transparency. Now here's where this gets complicated.
140
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.279
The litigation leading to this ruling wasn't just about the settlement.
141
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.639
In October twenty twenty five, Kardashian and Jenner filed a
142
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.799
lawsuit against ray J. He responded with a counters claiming
143
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.080
they had violated the settlement terms, and in that counterfiling,
144
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.080
ray J renewed an allegation he's been making for years
145
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.559
that the release of the tape in two thousand and
146
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.320
seven was not an accident, that the family knew that
147
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:19.039
Chris Jenner in particular, was involved. Both Kardashian and Jenner
148
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:24.039
have denied this emphatically. Kardashian, in her court declaration, called
149
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.919
ray Ja's claims a lie. She said she had incurred
150
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:35.039
significant expenses therapy, communications professionals, legal advisors, specifically to combat
151
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.080
his allegations and manage the reputational damage. Jenner called the
152
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.480
accusations absolutely false and said they had haunted her for decades.
153
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.360
She denied orchestrating anything. She denied directing what tape to release.
154
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.440
She said in her words that in no world would
155
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.840
she be involved in peddling tapes of her daughter. Ray
156
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.919
j for his part, has been consistent in his version
157
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.759
of events for a long time. His twenty sixteen single
158
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.320
titled I Hit It, first aimed at Kardashian's then husband
159
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.919
Kanye West, is perhaps the least subtle way a person
160
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.799
has ever inserted themselves back into a news cycle. He
161
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:17.240
has appeared on reality shows, he has given interviews. He has,
162
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:21.399
by every measure, never stopped talking about this. What the
163
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.200
ruling means. Practically, the settlement documents, or at least most
164
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.200
of them, will become part of the public record. One
165
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.720
narrow exception was granted. A bank account number in certain
166
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.879
exhibits will remain protected. Everything else is fair game. There's
167
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.480
a playbook for this. Powerful people, and Kim Kardashian is
168
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.600
genuinely powerful. Whatever you think of how she got there
169
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.039
use confidentiality agreements and courthouse seals to keep the terms
170
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.879
of uncomfortable legal outcomes. Private courts are generally sympathetic to
171
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.879
that impulse when there's a real privacy interest at state. Here,
172
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.480
the court found there wasn't one, or at least the
173
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.480
Kardashians couldn't demonstrate it in a way that met the
174
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:09.080
legal standard. Accountability doesn't have a legal department, even when
175
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:22.600
you hire one. Nicholas Brendan was born in nineteen seventy
176
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.639
three in Los Angeles. He had a twin brother. He
177
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.840
grew up in a large family, struggled in school, developed
178
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.120
a stutter that he largely overcame. He wanted to act.
179
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.840
In nineteen ninety seven, he was cast as Xander Harris
180
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.120
in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show ran for seven
181
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:44.240
seasons on the WB It became a cultural phenomenon, and Xander,
182
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.440
the everyman of the group, the one without powers, the
183
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.200
one who showed up anyway, became one of the most
184
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.159
beloved characters in the show's run. Nicholas Brendan was very
185
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.759
good at it. The show ended in two thousand and three,
186
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.679
and then things started to go wrong, or maybe they
187
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.320
had already been going wrong for a while, and the
188
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.120
show had just held the center. Within a year of
189
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.120
Buffy Rapping, Brendan entered rehab for alcohol issues. He released
190
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.919
a public statement about it. He called it a disease
191
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.879
that had been taking control of his life. He was
192
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.240
thirty three years old. He got out. He worked, He
193
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.679
had a recurring role on Criminal Minds. He did conventions.
194
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.799
He stayed connected to his fan base, who adored him
195
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.360
and followed his public struggles with the kind of loyalty
196
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.080
that can sometimes be its own kind of pressure. Six
197
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.679
years after that first rehab stint, he was charged with
198
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:40.600
resisting arrest, battery against a police officer, and vandalism. He
199
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:45.759
pled no contest community service probation. He entered treatment again.
200
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.919
In twenty fourteen, he was arrested in Boise, Idaho obstruction,
201
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:56.000
malicious injury to property. Accounts suggested he was intoxicated and
202
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.720
repeatedly refused police commands at the scene. In February two
203
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.120
thousand and fifteen, following his separation from his wife, he
204
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.879
was arrested at a Fort Lauderdale hotel, allegedly intoxicated, allegedly
205
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.799
trashed the room, allegedly refused to pay a food and
206
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.240
beverage tab of three hundred and eighty dollars criminal mischief,
207
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:19.360
grand theft. Weeks later, another hotel room, another Florida arrest.
208
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.799
He later attributed that period to depression and sexual abuse.
209
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.720
In May twenty fifteen, he was arrested in South Carolina
210
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:32.519
for public intoxication. That June, he entered treatment again, this
211
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.840
time for alcoholism, substance abuse, and depression. Simultaneously, in October
212
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.480
twenty fifteen, he was arrested in Saratoga Springs, New York.
213
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.320
The charges included obstruction of breathing, which is the legal
214
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.360
phrase for choking, two counts of criminal mischief, and robbery
215
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.120
after he allegedly gripped his girlfriend's throat and damaged her
216
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.080
phone as she tried to leave. He pleaded guilty to
217
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.840
the criminal mischief charge. Also in October two thoth, twenty fifteen,
218
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.279
he was arrested in Palm Springs after allegedly grabbing a
219
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.679
different girlfriend by the arm and then violently pulling her
220
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:10.440
by her hair at a hotel bar. He went back
221
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.039
to Florida for ninety days of treatment afterward. In twenty nineteen,
222
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.720
he was sentenced to three years probation for the Palm
223
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.600
Springs incident. In twenty twenty one, he was arrested in
224
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.799
Indiana for a prescription fraud. He allegedly gave police a
225
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.919
California ID belonging to his twin brother when he was
226
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:32.039
pulled over for erratic driving. He was charged with a felony.
227
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.840
Later that year, it emerged that he had suffered partial
228
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:40.679
paralysis in his genitals and his legs, apparently from sleeping
229
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.360
on concrete while in jail. His manager said he was
230
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.720
concentrating on his health. In twenty twenty two, he was
231
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:53.200
hospitalized for a cardiac incident tachycardia, a arrhythmia. He'd had
232
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:57.039
a similar episode after spinal surgery the year before, surgery
233
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.080
for something called cauda aquina syndrome. And through all of this,
234
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.879
through every arrest, every treatment stay, every health scare, his
235
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.679
fans were there. Some of them followed every development. Some
236
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.000
of them showed up at conventions to tell him they
237
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.679
loved him. Some of them watched him deteriorate publicly via
238
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.679
Facebook videos from his front porch rocking chair and kept
239
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.039
watching because they couldn't look away from someone they cared about.
240
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.279
In March twenty twenty six, Just days before his death,
241
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.960
Brendan posted a video defending Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy,
242
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.600
who had been publicly accused by multiple former cast members
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.919
2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.960
