- Quick Answer: Alan Ritchson is under investigation for a neighbor dispute, but new reports claim he was provoked and pushed off his motorcycle twice before the fight.
Reacher star Alan Ritchson was recently accused of allegedly assaulting a Nashville neighbor, Ronnie Taylor. However, new footage arose that shows the Titans star being the victim in the incident, as he was riding his bike before Ronnie provoked him first. Take a look at the updated evidence below.
New Video Footage Might Just Have Proven Alan Ritchson's Innocence
Ronnie Taylor, the alleged victim, previously told TMZ that Alan was flying at "excessive speed," which disturbed the neighborhood's peace. In his attempt to preserve the neighborhood from further disturbance, Ronnie's interference was claimed to have led Ritchson to punch him in the face and kick him to the ground.
However, at the time of the report, only one piece of footage was provided. Netizens refused to choose one side over the other until further evidence was provided. Surely enough, there were today.
The new video shows how the fight really started between Alan Ritchson and his neighbor. Similar to what key witnesses have told the outlet, it was actually Ronnie who stepped "aggressively" and directly in front of the actor's bike, which made Ritchson fall over his ride.
Alan crashed, fell off his motorcycle, and suffered cuts and bruises himself, with a minor injury to his finger. Sources also told TMZ that Ronnie "dared Alan to hit him while yelling at the actor", who was still on the ground. But Alan "did not take the bait and tried to defuse the situation by jumping on the bike to leave."
A source who is close to Alan noted that Ronnie "initiated and instigated" the entire thing. Meanwhile, Alan has been cooperative with the police, and no one has been arrested.
What to Expect from Reacher Season 4's Return
Filming for Reacher season 4 wrapped around November 2025 in Toronto and is headed for 2026, which Ritchson himself previously confirmed. While there is no official release date yet, the detective franchise's fourth season covers the 2009 Lee Child novel Gone Tomorrow, aka the 13th book in the series, which is teased as the most "relentless" and "bloodiest season yet."
Alan Ritchson will be reprising his titular role and will be working alongside Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette as Jacob Merrick, Sydelle Noel as Tamara Green, Agnez Mo as Lila Hoth, Anggun as Amisha Hoth, and Kevin Corrigan as Detective Docherty.
Ritchson previously told Men's Journal that Reacher season 4 is a "labyrinth of fights", considering that they "shot 11 fights in the first four weeks", which he claimed had never been shot before: "Everywhere Reacher turns, he's got another group on his heels. It's fun, wild, and nonstop, and we haven't done anything like it yet."
He added that season 4 "ups the stakes quite a bit" and teases it's bound to be "the best season we've had yet." Stay tuned for more updates on Reacher season 4.
