Star filmed in heated exchange with fans

Star filmed in heated exchange with fans

Denzel Washington seemingly told off a group of autograph seekers for pestering him at an event for pal Samuel L. Jackson on Wednesday night.

The Training Day actor appeared to be in good spirits when he arrived at the Museum of Modern Art, taking pictures outside the famed gallery, reports Page Six.

However, someone in the crowd seemingly crossed the line and Washington’s demeanour changed as he marched over to a group of men.

The Oscar winner, 69, seemingly told the crowd to be more respectful and wait patiently, however, it was hard to hear most of their conversation due to the surrounding noise.

“I told you I would see you when I get out,” he said. “Which part of that don’t y’all understand?”

Despite telling the autograph seekers he would find them on the flip side, the men kept arguing, prompting Washington to raise his voice.

The Equalizer star seemingly left the conversation by telling the group they would only get what they came for if they changed their behaviour.

Reps for Washington did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The apparent heated exchange was very out of character for the actor, who is known for his cool demeanour.

However, Washington has never been one to stand for disrespect.

In fact, the legendary actor reportedly once got into a screaming match with Sean “Diddy” Combs after allegedly witnessing something disparaging at a party.

Earlier this month, a source claimed to Us Weekly the pair got into an intense confrontation following an all-night affair in 2003.

“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone’,” the insider alleged.

“[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the source added.

The source didn’t reveal what Washington allegedly saw. However, two decades later, Combs, 54, was arrested on sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges.

Combs’ infamous parties have become an integral part of the feds’ case. Prosecutors claim the music mogul — who has maintained his innocence — orchestrated “Freak Offs,” which were “elaborate and produced sex performances” often fuelled by drugs and violence.

Partygoers allegedly knew when to leave the I’ll Be Missing You rapper’s wild fetes before things took a drastic turn, another insider claimed to Us Weekly.

“What happened before 2am pales in comparison to what happened at 5am,” a source told the outlet.

Combs is set to stand trial for his alleged crimes in May.
