Train Wrecks
Wilmer's Bodyguard Whips Clubgoer's Ass

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

Fists flew and blood spilled as a man who recently worked as Wilmer Valderrama's bodyguard unleashed a ferocious attack on the streets of Hollywood last night.

It doesn't appear that he was working for Wilmer last night, as the star wasn't anywhere near Area nightclub in West Hollywood, but the two men have a tight history together.

TMZ cameras rolled as the bodyguard, who goes by the name Tah Dow, and a random clubgoer took a heated argument into the street, when the clubgoer raised his fists and yelled, "Hit me first!" As the clubgoer got within Dow's reach, the burly bodyguard grabbed him and slammed him to the ground while screaming, "There are no cops here to save you right now!" He continued to pummel the man; repeatedly slamming him to the ground, headbutting, slapping and even ramming his head into a wall.

After the pulverizing stopped, Tah Dow screamed racial taunts at the man as L.A. County Sheriff's Deputies, who arrived after the beating, stood there and listened. One deputy even appeared to smile as the screaming continued.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with a rep from Valderrama's camp who says, "Wilmer is in Germany. He has not yet seen the tape."

17. It absolutely amazes me how racial slurs can be thrown around as long as they are toward a caucasian person and no one says ANYTHING (other than that loud idiot in the background). Give me an 'effin break if the roles were reversed and that guy getting attacked were to start yelling the n word or some slight against a person of colour he'd have to go on Jay Leno to apologize and issue public apologies but it's okay to do it a white person. Ridiculous. Another thing, that guy is like 3 times the size of the other guy, yah he's real tough, why didn't he just grab a woman while he was at it and toss her around. Loser. He's not even muscular or fit in anyway he's just fat. Those cops deserve to be reprimanded for just standing there. SOOOOO glad I don't live in the US - so much anger, hatred, crime and everyone is so worried about not offending anyone that it has become skewed in that it's okay to hate on white people, beat them down because their white. I'm white, I've never said a racial slur in my life. I have an African Canadian boyfriend and a child of mixed race. Take a second and think about how stupid that fat piece of s**t looks. Perhaps next week we can see him beating down an elderly man or better yet Wilmer! Why does Wilmer even have a bodyguard he's barely a celebrity.

18. This is total bullshi& there better be some action taken for this,,,of course this wont get any media play because the racial slurs were directed towards a white guy and as you the know media thinks you cant be a racist unless your white ,,,that big guy better be glad the little one wasnt packing a blade or somthing cuase the video obviously shows that it would have been self defense

19. What a peice of sh*t... That fat fu*k is a real tough guy let me tell ya... lovin the racial slurs... I would love to have seen the little guy turn around, break that fat asses leg and then kneed him in the face... just to shut his f-in mouth... I'm 1/3rd that guys size and he would have dropped like a rag doll if he would have pulled that sh*t on me.... And guess what?? If I would have dropped a slur like he did I would be on this stupid site as the "Hollywood Racist" under the headline "HATE CRIME OUTSIDE SOME COOL CLUB"

20. did anyone else think that tmz's written description of what the video showed was total bullsh*t? i thought the big guy never lost sight of the fact that he could have destroyed the guy with one punch and so he basically just kept tossing him around like a rag doll.

i certainly didn't see a "bloody, ferocious, pummeling".

too bad. i thought with harvey levin involved there would be a certain amount of integrity to tmz's reporting.

obviously i thought wrong.

21. Racism is fine as long as it's aimed at WHITE PEOPLE!! BS! BS!

22. Um yeah, Tah Dow could have walked back into the club, and the personnel at the door would have of course not allowed the other dude back in.

Stop acting like he was somehow in the right.
there is never NEVER a good reason to put your hands on another person when there are cops there to step in and supposedly do whatâ%u20AC%u2122s right.

This Tah Dow fella wasnâ%u20AC%u2122t protecting anyone.
With regard to the comments about him not punching etc, Battery is simply defined as unwanted touching. They both put their hands on each other.
Some will undoubtedly argue that the dude put his hands on Tah Dow first, when he pushed him. Fact is they were both squaring off, which the law defines as an act of aggression, indicating an assault is eminent.

The dude pushed Tah Dow, Tah Dow started grabbing him = Mutual Combat.

The moment these two touched each other, the cops should have stopped it.
But ultimately, Tah Dow being a "professional body guard" should have kept his cool, gone outside with the guy as he did to avoid any damage to the club, turned around to the door guy and let him know what was up, and gone back into the club.

I have worked security in the past, professional security at that.
When it comes to anything physical with anyone, it should always be reserved as a last resort. I would never have squared off with anyone if I had instead had the option to just go back into the establishment the original issue has begun in.

23. sorry to tell ya but putting someones head into a wall or headbutting someone is ASSAULT the big guy isnt as smart as you think

24. Wow so this guy is the enforcer for all things Hollywood. I guess I missed what movies he was in that he thinks he's Hollywood.

25. WAY TO GO CRAIG. YOU ARE 100% RIGHT. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT NOT ONE OF THE 10 COPS DID NOTHING. PEOPLE SHOULD COMPLAIN. ALSO, IF THE WORLD IS GOING TO BITCH ABOUT PEOPLE USING THE N WORD OR MAKING JEWISH JOKES, OR HISPANIC NAMES, THEN MAKING WHITE RACE REMARKS MUST STOP TOO!!! I BET NO ONE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BIG GUY USING THE WORD NIGGER AND HE APPEARS TO BE HISPANIC. IT'S LIKE THERE ARE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES AS TO WHEN YOU CAN BE RACIS. BULLSH*T, NO ONE SHOULD EVER BRING SOMEONES RACE, GENDER, RELIGION, ETC. INTO ARGUING. STICK TO WHAT MADE YOU MAD!!!

29. tmz dont be like other media outlets and let the fly of the radar leave it on and give people a chance to see it

Posted at 12:20PM on Jan 5th 2007 by jon

30. To Tah Dow: Dude, sticks and stones can break your bones, but words should never hurt!!! Stand back and take a good long look at yourself - don't let yourself be corrupted by the non-sense of the lights that will ultimately be dimmed.
