Comedian Corey Holcomb is allegedly punched a female comic in the face outside a club earlier this month, and now police are involved, Media Take Out confirmed,
The female comedian, Cristina Payne, was hanging outside the Hollywood Improv comedy club earlier this month when police say Corey came up and started screaming at her and her friend.
That’s when Corey allegedly threatened to punch Cristina in the face. The incident was so chaotic that a man at the club got in between the two. Corey then allegedly swung over the man and hit Payne square in the face.
Corey’s crew then reportedly tackled the man who got in between him and Cristina, and Corey ran off. Later, police officers arrived on the scene and took a battery report.
So what caused this? Well here’s what TMZ is saying:
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … this feud dates back to July when they say Corey told people he was going to “super sock” Cristina — adding “somebody come get this bitch before I f*** her up.”
We’re told that, when Corey saw her earlier this month, he got in her face … saying he was ready for anything and everything to pop off — before they say he tried to punch her.
Sources close to Cristina tell us Corey is trying to use his podcast and influence to make it seem like he didn’t hit Cristina … though they say there are numerous people willing to testify against Corey should he be arrested and face charges.
