Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner Attacked: Verbal Abuse Caused Fight, Says Source
Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner’s bar fight early Sunday morning could have been the cause of verbal abuse, which eventually escalated far beyond the scope of mere words.
According to TMZ, an eyewitness saw the events unfold at the Roosevelt Hotel, and the source reported that Brody’s attacker was apparently drunk, and mouthing off “for no reason.”
Then, the assailant began a slew of insults, calling Jenner a “douche,” among other things.

Brody, unwilling to be subjected to the bully, answered back, and apparently, that’s when he was struck with a bottle. The source says that Avril – although she’s known to be a hothead – did not exacerbate the incident.
“Brody and Avril didn’t do anything to start the fight… just a bunch of drunk people getting out of hand,” said the TMZ informer.
Avril was standing next to her boyfriend when the fight started, and after Brody was struck with the bottle, the bully’s friends rushed the couple and beat them severely.
Hotel staff broke up the melee, and attempted to detain the parties until authorities arrived to figure out exactly what happened.
Afterwards, Brody stayed around to speak with the police, while Avril left to “ice her wounds,” which included a black eye and a bloody nose.
Brody ended up with a long gash on his skull, thanks to the bottle. Instead of riding in the ambulance, he drove himself to the hospital to get 12 stitches to close the slash.
The Bromance star was released from the hospital by morning, just in time to tweet: “Interesting Saturday night… Just got of the hospital with a new scar on my face… Charges/Chargers!!!”
Avril also decided to respond to the events via Twitter, tweeting: "I got attacked by 5 people last night out of nowhere. Not cool. My face is f****d. As in black eye, bloody nose, hair ripped out, scratches, bruises and cuts. So not ok to be abusive to others. Violence is NEVER the answer."
The Canadian punk/pop star’s sentiments echo the anti-bullying campaigns very prevalent today.
