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."

32. Please post this: TICK TICK TICK, CLOCK'S TICKING AND YOUR TIME IS ALMOST UP, WILMER. SHAPE UP OR GO DOWN FOR THE COUNT. YOU NOW BELIEVE YOUR OWN HYPE (SAD), WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO YOUR MOST MEMORABLE ROLE, ON "WHERE ARE THEY NOW".

36. Wow....what a pathetic display of not only racism (what is this 1950?) but the lack of police protection in LA. Haven't they learned anything? Guess they will have to keep learning the hard way. ..surprise, surprise. As for the bodyguard? Shame, Shame, Shame on him. He obviously has issues and doesn't need to be protecting anyone. He needs to get himself into some serious counseling (preferably anger management) or better yet....get someone his own size to bash his head into a wall....maybe that will snap him out of it. Such a sad display of how a little fame (being Wilmer's bodyguard.....whoopie...) can make someone behave so badly. As for the other guy? I hope he makes millions off this. Maybe then "Wilmer's bodyguard....lol...sorry it makes me laugh to say it.....will learn something and LA county will finally learn if they just do their job they might save a little money.....now there's an idea.

38. For the posters that's assuming the big guy is black, he is not! Why race always come into play is beyond me. He's either Hispanic or Samonian.

What is see is the smaller guy asking to be hit. The big guy kept trying to walk away. The small guy should have been arrested for assault. The big guy was only defending himself.

If someone throws a shoe at me, I'll kick ass too.

Drink at home if you can't handle your emotions after drinking (to the small guy).

39. Wilmer should be ashamed for employing this pathetic person and actually putting money in his pocket.
I'll be curious to see if Wilmer's career goes down the toilet. What does this say about him?

40. Tah Dow represents nothing more than a big, fat-assed whale, dark-skinned racist piece of human feces! There is no question whatsoever from the video that this moron blob of an animal initiated the physical assault on this guy. Taunting the fat slob is one thing, however, when you so much as physically lay a hand on another person, that constitutes battery under California law. I would say bashing the dude's head into a wall certainly justifies assault + battery. This pond scum pile of blubber needs to be immediately deported back to Somoa from whence he came! Better yet, I'd like to see this p.o.s. Samoan pig duke it out with MY personal bodyguard, Mr. Glock, and we'll see who emerges the victor. The West Hollywood Sheriff's Dept. have always been an ineffective law enforcement agency so it is not surprising that these stupid cops all just stood around and watched. I guess that's why the LAPD has "to protect and serve" emblazened on the outside of their patrol cars and the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. doesn't. LOL

42. The poster above me is right. The posters assuming that this guy is black are either idiots or blind.

So just shut up and stop whining. Ok, racial slurs were made about white people. God forbid. When Mel and ex-Kramer made racial slurs, according to the people on this site it was "not a big deal" and people "should just get over it." Now some drunk idiot who no one has ever heard of makes racial slurs about white people and you guys are about to have a stroke.

No, this guy won't be on the cover of any magazines or have to apologize on t.v. like Mel and Michael Richards because HE'S NOT FAMOUS. We don't know who he is, except that he's an ex-bodyguard of a guy most famous for being on a crappy t.v show and being LiLo's bitch. If Wilmer had made those comments, trust me, it would be news. But some guy whose real name we don't even know? How is this newsworthy?

I was called the "n" word on my way to court yesterday morning (I'm an attorney, not a criminal, by the way) and the idiot who said it didn't feel the need to apologize on Jay Leno. So chances are, this fat idiot won't apologize either.

44. Throwing a shoe or talk is not reason to assault someone . A shoe may be considered dangerous if it is an Olsen twins shoe but otherwise is not considered dangerous . The shoe would have to hit someone . Dickheads . What should have happened is the cops should have arrested the drunk guy for disorderly conduct . To bad the Cops and the Big guy are probably on steroids and acting like they have big balls , the truth being their nads are K-fed size . dickheads .

45. Here's an idea, how about just walk away from the drunk? Wow, the big fat security guard really showed how tough he is. "Respect"? Him? That's a laugh. Respect is something you earn and not by tossing around a dude smaller than you who's wasted. Let's see how tough he is when Wilmer gets sued and he loses his job. I mean, isn't it a hate crime since the fat dude doesn't like white people? Looked that way to me. Hmm, maybe Wilmer feels the same way that's why he hired him?
I agree with Craig, it's ok for all other races except white people to spew racial slurs? No one should be calling anyone those names. But you have to hand it to the little guy, he wasn't backing down from that cow.
