In a pretty bizarre storyline, former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal found himself at the center of a massive brawl at one of his Big Chicken restaurant locations in Hartland, Michigan.
O’Neal, who owns the fast-food chain, made a surprise appearance at the restaurant, which quickly spiraled out of control as fans flocked to catch a glimpse of the basketball legend.
The chaos began when word spread that O’Neal was at the restaurant, drawing a large crowd of eager fans. Unfortunately, the restaurant had not announced the visit, and the lack of security measures led to a tense situation. As fans jostled for position, a confrontation erupted, leading to a full-blown brawl involving several people and even law enforcement officers.
Videos of the incident show a chaotic scene outside the restaurant, with fans pushing and shoving, and police officers attempting to restore order. Three individuals were arrested in connection with the disturbance, including a 21-year-old man who allegedly became confrontational with a deputy.
