Who's the A-Hole On the Block?

Jonathan Knight just wanted a cigarette -- but taking a smoke break in front of a pack of bloodthirsty autograph hunters ended with one of them calling him an "a**hole" right to his face.

The autographazzi were overbearingly brutal when he didn't sign -- but Joey Mc had Jonny's back.

1. Leave it to the gay one to be all uppity.

2. Has beens. Never were talented. Should have never been in a spotlight brighter than a backyard flashlight. Just another manufactured celebrity promoted to be bigger than life but smaller than the rest of us all along.

3. The KNOTB are a**holes? Or are the "brothers" swarming them and aggressively getting in their faces the a**holes?

4. Perhaps the fact that Jon has sufferred from a pretty severe anxiety disorder and panic attacks in the past could contribute to him not wanting to sign autographs/talk to the fans at that time. Don't be so quick to judge people!

5. alright. brothers playing the race card. how telling. IF they really gave F*** about the people they sell autographs off from they knew that the knight family adopted a black boy... so john and jordan grew up with a "brother"...

if yall ask "can you sign me an autograph" there's two possible answers: yes or no. so dont get all bitchy when someone has reasons to not support you ripping em off by selling autopraphs. kudos to john for that!

just sayin...

6. leave jon alone! he has suffered from anxiety attacks since the beginning of nkotb.. don't think he was ever fond of being in front of the camera or crowds.. and they way those guys were talkin to him, do ya blame him for not wanting to sign an autograph?

9. Poor Jon...

He shouldn't have to sign anything if he's not up for it....He just wanted a smoke break. What's wrong with that??

LEAVE JON ALONE

11. If that's the way autograph hunters act then I wouldn't want to be famous! Jon has been absolutely lovely to REAL fans who asked POLITELY for his autograph through this whole reunion. If people act like a**holes then they can expect to be ignored.

12. I think the A-HOLES are the guys getting autographs to sell them (not for themselves). I'd say the A-HOLES are the paparazzi. I'm sorry, but when people start acting like complete and utter jerks like that, Jon, Joey and Robo are NOT the a-holes. Wait, I'm not sorry. Jon, Joey and Robo handled it quite well for being treated like DIRT... And paparazzi/autograph sellers wonder why celebrities think they're trash. THAT video is a perfect example of why. Rufus, Esquire (yeah right)... Congratulations, how does it feel to say things over the internet that you'd never dare say to someone's face? TMZ you can add those two to the list of A-HOLES. They'll fit right in with your camera crews.

13. Looks like the A-holes on the block are the "brothers." It's so easy to cry racism when you know nothing about the person you're screaming it at--such as the fact that Jonathan Knight has a black brother. If you're so concerned about being judged for appearances, then maybe you should be a little more thoughtful before jumping to conclusions about someone. And why the hell would you want his autograph anyway if you don't know anything about him?

14. And tell me again these has beens ,you would think be happy that anyone even notice then ,yet alone want a autograph,putting these celebrities? making them think their s**t doesn't stick,is the real problem,meanwhile America goes the route third world status right before all of americans eyes ,and they don't have a clue,cause their to busy putting all their energy in empty stuff with empty people superficial Americans.
