"Gladiator" Fans Brawling in the Stands!

Posted May 2nd 2008 2:06PM by TMZ Staff

A nasty fight broke out during the April 30 taping of "American Gladiators" -- and it involved a random "American Idol" reject from Season 1.

TMZ sources tell us a brawl erupted in the stands when a woman got punched in the face -- by a guy!!!

We're told three women and five men came to the rescue of the injured woman, where our source says they "literally tumbled down three rows of audience members ... flying left and right like bowling pins."

Making the mess crazier is that one of the guys with the injured girl was "American Idol" contestant Jules Sanchez from Season 1. Where's Simon when you need him?

A source from NBC tells TMZ, "There was a small altercation between fans in the stands that was quickly handled by security."

No police report was taken on the scene.

5. I was at the taping that night........
It was awful!!! we were treated like crap by production and "SRO"- STANDING ROOM ONLY (the company who hires Audience Participation Artists) They violated so many laobor laws- they worked us 12 hours, no break, no water, no food , they did not pay overtime after 8 hours, yet they are paid overtime by Production for the 500 or so people they book.........
IRS needs to Audit this company, Im sure they claim to pay more out than they say.
