Podcaster and comedian Cory Holcomb is facing intense scrutiny after fellow comic Cristina Payne publicly accused him of assault.
According to Cristina, the incident happened outside a comedy club where the two were exchanging jokes and roasting each other. She says the back-and-forth escalated when Cory allegedly became angry and struck her in the face.
Cristina recently spoke out in an emotional interview, saying she is now afraid to leave her home.
“I’m scared,” she said. “I never imagined something like this would happen.”
She also claims that Cory had previously threatened her and that he allegedly displayed a firearm during the confrontation. These claims have not been independently verified, and Cory has not publicly responded to the allegations.
Media Take Out has learned from sources familiar with the situation that Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing the incident after receiving multiple videos and statements from witnesses. While no charges have been filed as of now, the matter is reportedly under active review.
Cristina’s claims gained even more attention after Cory became involved in a separate online dispute with social media personality Anton Daniels. According to our sources, supporters of Daniels flooded the prosecutor’s office emails and website tips with links, clips, and messages urging officials to investigate Cory’s alleged behavior.
At this time, there is no public confirmation that an arrest warrant has been issued, and Cory is presumed innocent unless and until charges are formally filed.
What is clear is that the situation has shifted from online drama to a serious legal matter — and many are now watching closely to see what happens next.
Media Take Out will continue to follow the story as more information becomes available.
