Victoria Beckham and her daughter Harper had to cut their outing short while dining at a Miami joint owned by Bad Bunny last Friday after a brawl broke out over a supposed Lionel Messi selfie.
Messi, who plays for David Beckham’s MLS side Inter Miami, was partying with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and the Beckahms when an unnamed diner who claims he was simply taking a photo while celebrating his daughter’s birthday got attacked by security.
According to the Daily Mail, the male got his face bloodied up because security thought he was trying to sneak a selfie with Messi. Photographs show blood covering the right side of his face.
“They jumped at us; they kicked me out and punched me in the face,” he told the Mail. “Just because my homeboy was trying to take a picture with his wife, not with Beckham or Messi, nothing. It was a family thing.”
A rep for the spot, Gekko, told Page Six the patron was drunk and had become aggressive.
“An intoxicated guest was overbearingly taking photos of fellow guests and was asked to stop. He continued taking photos and was calmly escorted off property,” the rep said.

“The guest then returned in an aggressive attempt to rush the door and re-enter the restaurant, to which he was prevented from entering.”
It’s also claimed that the man in question was made to leave and, after exiting, “bum-rushed” the door, which is when security got physical with him.
Victoria was pictured getting the 12-year-old Harper into a black SUV following the melee.
She did not respond to a request for comment from Page Six but downplayed the incident by posting photos to Instagram and claiming to have had “so much fun.”
