The guy from LMFAO was allegedly attacked in an unprovoked incident in an Australian hotel nightclub Tuesday night. Stefan Kendal Gordy, better knows by his stage name Redfoo, was mingling with a few ladies in the VIP section of Sydney’s Golden Sheaf Hotel when a man threw a glass bottle that struck him in the head, causing bleeding and requiring medical attention.
According to reports, police have charged a 21-year-old man with “malicious wounding.”
Redfoo, who in interviews earlier today colorfully described his attacker as “dodgy” and a “real glasshole,” is in Australia working as a judge on the country’s The X Factor television program. He is the youngest son of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, the man who signed the Jackson Five in 1968, and is best known globally for the LMFAO songs “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy And I Know It.”
Redfoo claims the hotel’s nightclub was playing his new single “New Thang,” when the unprovoked attack occurred.
From the Daily Mail:
“It was shocking to me, when something like that happens,” Redfoo, 38, told Daily Mail Australia. “There was quite a bit of blood. My hand was all bloody, I looked in the mirror, the whole side of my face had blood on it.”
The injured American singer, whose real name is Stefan Kendal Gordy, sprinted after him but was restrained by security guards and one of his friends.
Redfoo said: “I have no clue on why you could do such a thing, I can only think of the word jealousy. It’s one of the big questions I have. Why, why would he do that? Why would somebody throw a glass at somebody?”
The alleged attacker was apprehended by bar staff and arrested by police. Redfoo demanded to see him and later told Channel Seven he was stunned by the man’s apparent reaction.
“What shocked me the most was (how he reacted) when he saw me look at him,” Redfoo said. “He looked at me and taunted me and blew a kiss at me and winked his eye.”
Here’s video of Redfoo talking about the incident in Australia, where apparently this is pretty big news.
