Celebrity Justice
Rich Attack -- This Bud's For You

We now have details on the fight between John Rich and Jerry Montano -- and it's much worse than we thought.

According to sources, Rich was in the lobby of the Mondrian Hotel early this morning. An argument started between Rich and "two tattooed, large gentlemen" -- and Rich swung a beer bottle hitting Montano in the face. We're told his nose was visibly broken and there was blood "all over the place."

Our source on the scene said afterwards Montano was mumbling over and over again, "The little guy hit me."

Cops are investigating but no arrests have been made yet.

21. Yes, Montano was is Hellyeah, Danzig, Nothingface. He is a douchebag who gets in fights and I know for a fact he was drunk last night. He is a trouble maker and I am sure he got what was coming to him.

22. Country music is the best. I can actually understanD the words and it is not saying women are bit--es and people are killing each other. I would think that this guy probably deserved it. He was probably picking on a small guy and the COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE...

23. Sounds like someone is a little pissy because their candidate is LOSING! John Rich is a typical ignorant Republican who can't control is anger and violent tendancies. I hope they arrest his ass and charge him assault and battery (or whatever).

Republicans suck.

25. I will not ever say anything bad about John Rich. I am a huge fan of
his, and feel he is a truly great talent. With that being said, I
cannot pass any judgment on John until I hear his side of the story
from him. And, considering no one was arrested or charged with any
crime, maybe the who thing was blown out of proportion. So, until I
hear what John has to say, I am going to support Him.

26. "The little guy hit me". What a puss. They both should be in county lock up.

27. John Rich has a big heart that a lot of people don't know about and appreciate. He and Big Kenny have helped us in raising funds to build a memorial to honor our fallen 173d Airborne Brigade brothers who died in Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. 1,643 Sky Soldiers died in Viet Nam, and 69 Sky Soldiers died in Iraq and Afghanistan. 150 Sky Soldiers from California died in Viet Nam, and 4 from California died on the 8th of November 1965. I met John on Oct. 7, 2006, at the benefit concert in Atlanta, GA, and at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio this past May. On 11 July 2008, he and Big Kenny were at Fort Benning, GA, for the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the 173d Airborne Brigade National Memorial. I would volunteer to be a Character Witness for John Rich! OUR FALLEN WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!

28. I'm reading your comment on ignorant Republicans..... Republicans are not ignorant.... they just believe that you should have to work for what you get and if you work for it... you should be able to keep it and not be forced to give it to people who want something for nothing. That leaves more to give to charity and causes that each individual supports....

29. #28 - Great comment. The problem with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant (well maybe the ones posting here are) it's that they know so much that isn't so.........

30. "2. Apparently supporting John McCain isn't the only ignorant thing John Rich has been up to lately....
