'Bro copped a feel': Matt James trolled for touching Brittney Elena's chest at All-Star game
Actress Brittney Elena revealed that ‘The Bachelor’ star Matt James apologized to her for touching her breast at the 2022 Ruffles NBA All-star celebrity game on Friday. As the season 25 star dribbled the ball during Friday’s game, he reached out a hand to push his teammate Brittney away, briefly putting his hands on her chest.
The footage of the incident was widely circulated on social media. In the video, James is seen waiting to catch the ball during the game when the actress comes forward. As he pushes her back, his hand is seen unwittingly touching her chest. Following the act, the ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’ actress, 32, walked back, looking visibly annoyed. Apparently, the 30-year-old James immediately realized what he had done and his facial expression changed for a second before he held the ball.

The video of the incident has gone viral and has already received over 7.8 million views on Twitter alone. Many online users found it hilarious and came up with witty responses to the situation. Model and Matt’s good friend Tyler Cameron jumped in the conversation and wrote, "Damn Matt, air balled two free throws and a boob punch… not your night. And after your golf swing at the waste management open, we’re running out of sports you can try." he joked, referring to the incident earlier this month when James accidentally hit a cameraperson with a golf ball during the WM Phoenix Open held in Phoenix, Arizona.

Later, the ABC Food Tours co-founder took a shot at himself saying, “It can't get any worse than it was yesterday. I can't legally hold or swing a golf club until I undergo 100 hours of intense golf training. [Which is] warranted."
Some Twitter users argued that the incident was not funny but “awkward” while some lingered with the opinion that Matt did it intentionally. Before the issue could spiral out of control, Brittney Elena came forward to defend James saying, "He said sorry y'all! It was a simple mistake lol." However, the former NCAA football player did not share anything about the incident.
