Comedian Tom Arnold and MGM chairman Mark Burnett's feud is not a new one. The two have been at each other's throats for quite some time now, mostly because of the former's endeavors to unearth the controversial "golden shower" tapes that allegedly documents US president Donald Trump's inappropriate behavior. However, their altercation seems to have taken a new direction following a rumored fight at the pre-Emmy's bash. 

Taking to Twitter on Sunday night, Arnold, whose show 'The Hunt for the Trump Tapes' is due release on Tuesday, claimed that he was physically abused by the 'The Apprentice' producer Mark Burnett at an event before the annual Emmys. 

"Mark Burnett just went apeshit & choked me at this huge Emmy party then he ran away with his torn Pink shirt & missing gold chain. I’m waiting for LAPD," the actor-cum-comedian shared, only to spark a war of words on Twitter. In fact, soon after he shared the tweet, Burnett's actress wife Roma Downey took to social media to counter the claims.
