Bahamas Shark Attack Blood From Bit Child Fills Tank ... Gruesome Video Shows

Chilling new video of the Bahamas shark attack shows the terrifying moments after the boy nearly got his leg chomped off as the water in the tank turned a misty blood red.
TMZ has obtained shocking footage capturing the seconds after the 10-year-old boy -- who was the victim in this case -- frantically swam to the top of the tank as his father, who heroically jumped into the water, helped him over to a ladder. It's as dramatic as can be.
Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... the dad carried the boy up the ladder onto a landing before rushing off with his son to get him medical attention, which can be seen in one of the photos. We're told the boy's mom and Atlantis Resort staff assisted the father in his efforts.
According to one source ... the boy climbed down into the tank with a chaperone on January 15 as part of the shark experience for guests at the Atlantis Bahamas Resort.
1/15/24
Wearing a large white helmet and heavy oxygen tank, the boy stood with the chaperone on the floor of the tank as the sharks whipped past them. Two of the reef sharks were aggressively swimming around the boy -- and one of them darted through his legs.
This caused the boy to lose his footing and straddle the shark, which turned its head around and sank its sharp teeth into one of his legs near the calf area. That caused him to bleed.
The boy's mom freaked out, screaming, "Did that just bite him?" She then realized, "Oh my gosh, that's my son." The mom, along with the boy's father, sprung into action to assist.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force said the boy -- on vacation from Maryland -- got bit on the right leg and was taken to the hospital ... thankfully, he was in stable condition, and Atlantis shut down their tanks immediately.
Remember, we got a hold of footage and photos that showed what this same shark tank looked like just a couple days prior to this incident -- and while it might've looked a bit crowded in there (with more sharks than humans), we were assured that's standard.
This attraction at the resort has since been shut down ... as they reevaluate their procedures for their guests moving forward.
We reached out again to Blue Adventures by Stuart Cove -- the company that manages this excursion at the resort -- for new comment ... so far, no word back.

IG Model Gracie Bon My Butt's Too Big For Airplane Seats ... Help Big Girls Like Me Fly
An Instagram model famous for her big booty wants to make them bigger ... but Gracie Bon's not talking about her cheeks, she's talking about airplane seats.
Gracie's petitioning the airlines to expand their seating situations ... she says she's having trouble getting settled for takeoff, even when she's flying first class.
The busty poser lays out her air travel problems in an informative video -- a PSA, if you will -- demonstrating how her butt is way too big for a traditional plane seat.
Seems like legroom's not the big sticking point here ... Gracie either wants the seats to be wider, or deeper. She's still able to buckle, courtesy of a seatbelt extender.
Gracie says it's on the airlines to accommodate "big girls like me," and proudly adds ... "It's not my fault to have an ass this big."
The whole thing is pretty ridiculous to lots of folks watching Gracie's video plea -- several comments claim it actually is her fault she has such a big booty, accusing her of surgically doctoring her look.
Fact is ... Gracie's the outlier here. If everyone had a booty as big as hers, airplane seats would be wider -- but most people don't, which explains why she has 4.5 million followers.

Modelo de IG Gracie Bon Mi trasero es demasiado grande para los aviones
Una modelo de Instagram famosa por su gran trasero está pidiendo ayuda para agrandar aún más.... ¡¡los asientos de los aviones!!
Gracie le está pidiendo a las aerolíneas que amplíen el tamaño de sus asientos, pues está teniendo problemas para acomodarse en el despegue e incluso al volar en primera clase.
La influencer expuso sus problemas en un video informativo, en donde demuestra que su trasero es demasiado grande para un asiento de avión tradicional.
Parece que el espacio para las piernas no es el problema, Gracie quiere que los asientos sean más anchos o profundos, aunque sí puede abrocharse el cinturón gracias a un extensor.
Gracie dice que está en las aerolíneas para dar acomodar a "chicas grandes" como ella y añade con orgullo: "No es mi culpa tener un culo tan grande".
Todo el asunto es bastante ridículo para muchas personas que están viendo el video de Gracie. Varios comentarios dicen que en realidad es su culpa tener un botín tan grande y la acusan de manipular quirúrgicamente su aspecto.
El hecho es que Gracie es la excepción aquí. Si todo el mundo tuviera un trasero tan grande como el suyo, los asientos de los aviones serían más anchos, pero la mayoría de la gente no los tiene, lo que explica por qué tiene 4,5 millones de seguidores.
Trey Songz Sexual Assault Accuser's Suit Dismissed ... Third Time's a Charm???

Exclusive
- 57 shares
A sexual assault lawsuit against Trey Songz has been dismissed ... with the judge saying the woman never responded to Songz's motion to dismiss, so her complaint is outta here.
Here's the deal ... the singer-songwriter was originally sued back in June by an unnamed woman for allegedly exposing her breast at a Connecticut casino back in 2013.
This is an allegation she initially floated in 2022 through a demand letter to him, but didn't officially sue until Summer 2023. In her original demand letter, she was asking for north of $5 million to settle it out of court -- but he never played ball, so she ended up suing civilly.
You'll recall ... this woman -- who filed as a Jane Doe in her suit -- claimed Songz had pulled out her breast from her bathing suit top during a "Foxwoods Liquid Sundays with Trey Songz" event and even claimed there was video evidence to back up her claim.
She alleged it was done without her permission, and that it amounted to sexual assault -- something Trey and his team had been vehemently denying from the very beginning.
Anyway, this lady amended the original complaint in July -- and then again in September before Songz filed a motion to dismiss saying the statute of limitations barred her claim ... which the judge granted, although he gave her another chance to amend it a 3rd time.
She did exactly that, but her renewed claims looked incredibly similar to the earlier ones ... prompting Songz to file another motion to dismiss. That was back on December 29 when he did that ... and apparently, Doe never responded to Songz's motion to dismiss this time.
So now the judge dismissed the case again ... and for the time being, the case is over.

Bad Bunny ¡¿Cómo están, FIU?! Sorprende en una clase universitaria...
Bad Bunny está compartiendo sus conocimientos con la próxima generación, y no solo sobre la música, sino que también sobre los negocios, ya que sorprendió en una clase llena de universitarios en el sur de Florida.
El cantante y compositor puertorriqueño llegó a la Universidad Internacional de Florida (FIU), donde se reunió con su amigo y colaborador, el magnate de la hotelería de Miami David Grutman, quien estaba dando una conferencia a unos 400 estudiantes.
Benito es sin duda un maestro del disfraz, pues primeró caminó por la sala de conferencias con un pañuelo y gafas de sol que cubrían la mayor parte de su cara.
Algunos estudiantes parecían reconocerlo antes de que se quitara la improvisada máscara y desatara los gritos de la multitud, pero la gran mayoría de esos futuros empresarios no sabía que era él hasta que el cantante de 29 años reveló su rostro.
Después de dejar a la multitud gritar unos minutos, Bunny admitió que se sentía más cómodo hablando en español y una estudiante accedió felizmente a traducir por él.
Mientras Grutman hablaba de su éxito abriendo un nuevo restaurante en Miami, simplemente porque lo había vinculado a uno de los conciertos del cantante en el estadio ... Bad Bunny saltó a añadir algo, pero luego tuvo que ayudar a su traductora a decir algo en español, porque esta se estaba quedando sin palabras.
El momento consiguió un montón de risas y esta improvisada traductora se lo tomó con calma, pues es difícil molestarse cuando estás teniendo un momento con uno de los artistas más grandes del mundo.
En resumen, The David Grutman Experience: The Class at Florida International University duró aproximadamente una hora e incluyó una historia sobre cómo Grutman le presentó a Bunny a la superestrella Drake.
¡¡¡Es bueno tener contactos y los estudiantes de Grutman lo aprendieron de primera mano del Profesor Bunny!!!
Mal día para faltar a clase en la FIU, eso es seguro.
Bad Bunny How Ya Doin', FIU?!? Surprises College Class, Helps Out Translator
Bad Bunny's dropping knowledge on the next generation -- not about music, but about business ... as he surprised a class full of college kids in South Florida.
The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter pulled up to Florida International University -- dapping up his friend and collaborator, Miami hospitality mogul David Grutman, who was leading a lecture to about 400 students.
Benito's certainly a master of disguise -- walking through the crowded lecture hall with a bandana and sunglasses covering most of his face.
Some students seemed to recognize him before the makeshift mask came off with scattered screams coming out of the crowd, but a clear majority of the future entrepreneurs couldn't figure it out until the 29-year-old revealed his face.
After giving the crowd time to freak out, naturally, Bunny admitted he felt more comfortable speaking in Spanish, and a student happily agreed to translate for him.
As Grutman spoke about his success opening a new Miami restaurant, purely because he'd tied it to one of the singer's stadium shows ... BB jumped in to add something, but then had to give his translator an assist in saying something in Spanish, 'cause she was at a loss for words.
The moment got a lot of laughs and the impromptu translator took it in stride -- it's hard to get upset when you're having a moment with one of the biggest artists in the world.
All told, The David Grutman Experience: The Class at Florida International University lasted about an hour and included a story about how DG introduced Bunny to superstar Drake.
It's good to be connected, as Grutman's students learned firsthand from Prof. Bunny!!!
Wrong day to ditch class at FIU ... that's for sure.

"Dune 2" Balde de palomitas inspirado en gusano del filme Es comparado con.... algo
Ha aparecido un nuevo envase de palomitas de maíz para promover la próxima secuela de "Dune", y si esta cosa es legítima, está levantando dudas por razones muy obvias.
Estas fotos del supuesto balde temático, cuya película aún no ha llegado a los cines, al parecer están circulando en línea, y el problema es que estos mismos cubos podrían ser repartidos al público en general junto al lanzamiento de "Dune 2" en marzo.
Si no estás seguro de lo que estás viendo, no eres el único. Si eres fan de la franquicia, reconocerás que el cubo es como la boca de uno de los gusanos de arena gigantes que aparecen en la primera película, con el que Timothée Chalamet tiene que luchar/escapar en su épico universo de ciencia ficción.
Básicamente, quien quiera que haya diseñado esto, parece haber pensado que sería divertido que los fans metieran las manos en la "boca" del gusano de plástico para llegar a las palomitas de maíz que hay debajo.
No hay daño, no hay ninguna falta en la idea, pero en la ejecución del diseño ... Los creadores no se dieron cuenta de que este cubo de gusano podría ser interpretado de varias maneras diferentes, y sí, todas son bastante traviesas. Al menos eso es lo que piensa la gente en Internet, donde abundan las bromas.
Vamos a dejar volar su imaginación con esto y suponemos que vamos a hacer la pregunta...
¿Qué diablos estás viendo aquí, exactamente? Esto es un poco como el test de Rorschach, lo sabemos, por lo que depende claramente de cada espectador. Cuéntennos.
'Dune 2' New Worm-Themed Pop Corn Bucket Compared to ... Something
There's a new popcorn bucket that's apparently been made to promote the upcoming 'Dune' sequel -- and if this thing is legit ... it's raising a lot of eyebrows for very obvious reasons.
These photos of the purported movie-themed bucket -- which has not hit theaters yet, apparently -- are circulating online ... and the rub, it seems, is that these may in fact be trotted out to the general public in conjunction with the 'Dune 2' release in March.
If you're unsure what you're looking at here, well ... you're not alone. If you're a fan of the franchise, though -- you'll recognize this as the mouth of one of the giant sandworms in the first flick, which Timothée Chalamet has to fight/escape from in his epic sci-fi universe.
Basically, WB (or whoever the hell designed this) seems to have thought it'd be fun to have fans reach their hands into the "mouth" of the plastic worm to get to the popcorn below.
No harm, no foul in concept -- but in the execution of this design ... the makers didn't realize this worm bucket thing could be interpreted a few different ways -- and yes, they're all pretty freaking naughty. At least that's what the Internet thinks, anyway ... jokes galore.
We'll let your imagination run wild with this one -- and we suppose we'll ask the question ...
What the heck are you seeing here, exactly ... mind in the gutter or otherwise? This is a bit of a Rorschach test, we know -- so it'll clearly be in the eye of the beholder. Let us know!

NHL's Brendan Gallagher Throws Vicious Elbow At Opponent's Head ... Fans Demand Ban
Brendan Gallagher was ejected from the Canadiens game Thursday night for throwing a vicious elbow at his opponent's head ... and now, fans want to see him sidelined for a while for the dirty play.
The incident happened during the Canadiens' game against the Islanders at the Centre Bell Arena in Montreal ... when Gallagher tried to stop Adam Pelech from getting deep into the neutral zone.
Brendan Gallagher received a 5-minute major and a game misconduct for this elbow to Adam Pelech. pic.twitter.com/TlAgNQZ24i
— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) January 26, 2024 @Sportsnet
Video from the game's broadcast shows right as Pelech crossed the blue line ... Gallagher elbowed him in the face -- sending the defenseman crashing to the ice.
Pelech stayed down for a while -- although he was eventually able to skate to his team's locker room. He did not return to the game. Gallagher, meanwhile, was ejected for the illegal check.
Puckheads were furious over the play ... rushing to social media to demand a lengthy ban for Gallagher. Even the right winger's former teammate, P.K. Subban, said the 12-year NHL vet needs to be suspended.
"I don’t know how else I’m supposed to call that," Subban said about the collision, "but to me, those are the hits that we just can’t have. That’s just inexcusable. There’s no upside."
I hate to say it, but this hit is worthy of a suspension.#nhl #habs #isles pic.twitter.com/BHVp69X9Li
— P.K. Subban (@PKSubban1) January 26, 2024 @PKSubban1
This isn't the first time Gallagher has made a move like this on the ice ... in November 2021, he punched Barclay Goodrow, and was fined $2,500.
Gallagher will have a hearing later Friday to determine his punishment for Thursday's illegal hit.

KANSAS TEEN IMPALED BY PLIERS IN FREAK ACCIDENT ... Graphic Injuries!!!
A teenage boy ended up hospitalized after accidentally impaling himself on a pair of pliers in a gruesome freak accident ... and the photos are absolutely mind-blowing.
15-year-old Joey Zeman recounted the incident through his parents -- who say the teen slipped and fell last Saturday while shoveling snow outside his family's home in WaKeeney, Kansas. Almost right away, he realized the pliers in his pouch seconds earlier were now inside him -- and the injuries are just as gory as you'd expect.
Joey's mom, Alicia Zeman, shared the graphic pics on Facebook ... and as you can see, the tool's handle is embedded just above his hip while the sheath hangs by the side.
The teen tells KWCH he tried pulling it out a few times ... but when he couldn't, he rang his mom and told her he was heading to the ER at his local hospital cause "the pliers were inside me."
At first, his mom thought he was joking ... thinking the pliers had merely poked him a little - though it was anything but a prank. But soon, she came to learn it was no laughing matter.
Nurse practitioner Sarah Gibbs explained that Joey had to be airlifted to Wichita's Wesley Medical Center ... in case he needed emergency surgery if his internal bleeding didn't stop when pulling out the tool.
Alicia adds that the pliers were firmly lodged into his bone ... the reason why Joey couldn't pull them out on his own. Joey's now on crutches after spending a night in the hospital ... and will make a full recovery as his internal organs were spared.
We're sure Joey will probably not carry pliers in frigid temperatures going forward ... but the ordeal will undoubtedly serve as the perfect icebreaker in future social settings, right?!?
Anyhoo ... stay safe out there, y'all. Don't go running around with scissors, and pliers too apparently.

Accidente en Oklahoma Un agente sale disparado durante un control de tránsito
Un patrullero de carretera en Oklahoma fue lanzado como un muñeco de trapo después de que un carro se detuviera para un control de tránsito y se estrellara contra un vehículo completamente diferente, y todo está en video.
Este registro acaba de ser liberado por la Patrulla de Carreteras de Oklahoma, que muestra a uno de los suyos siendo golpeado (indirectamente) por un carro que viene chocando contra el SUV blanco que estaba detenido para hablar con él, mientras estaba al costado de la carretera en una autopista en Yukon, Oklahoma.
El nombre del policía estatal es Jesse Gregory y como se puede ver, definitivamente no lo vio venir, lo que queda en evidencia por el hecho de que no tuvo tiempo para prepararse para el impacto en absoluto.
Por mucho que él podría haber sido herido en el momento, hay que preguntarse cómo quedó el conductor del carro que estaba hablando con él. En su cara, se ve bastante feo y aunque se podría pensar que habría daños importantes, al parecer no.
Los empleadores del oficial Gregory dicen que no solo estaba bien después de esto, sino que también lo estaban las otras dos personas involucradas en el accidente que, francamente, es un poco de un milagro (en el buen sentido).
La razón por la que publicó esto era para recordarle a las personas los peligros de la carretera y para destacar la importancia de reducir la velocidad y ser conscientes del tráfico.
Considérenlo lección aprendida porque esto es casi tan aterrador como un accidente de carro puede ser. 😬
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Officer Goes Flying During Traffic Stop Vehicle Swiped by Other Car
A highway patrolman in Oklahoma got tossed like a rag doll after the car he pulled over for a traffic stop got smashed into by a completely different vehicle ... and it's all on video.
This wild footage was just released by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol ... which shows one of their own getting hit (indirectly) by a car that comes crashing into the white SUV he was in the middle of talking to while on the side of the road on a freeway in Yukon, OK.
The state trooper's name is Jesse Gregory ... and as you can see, he definitely didn't see this coming -- evidenced by the fact that he had no time to brace for impact whatsoever.
As much as he might've been hurt in the moment ... you gotta wonder how the driver of the car he was speaking with might've been -- 'cause they got rammed into on their side. On its face, it looks pretty ugly ... and while you'd think there'd be major damage, apparently not.
Officer Gregory's employers say that not only was he okay after this ... but so were the other two people involved in the accident -- which, frankly, is a bit of a miracle (in a good way).
The reason they posted this was to remind people of the dangers of the road ... highlighting the importance of slowing down, moving over to the shoulder, and being mindful of traffic.
Consider the lesson learned ... 'cause this is about as scary as a car wreck can get. 😬

Fontainebleau Las Vegas Nachos Upgraded After Online Jokes ... Competition Piles On
update
1:30 PM PT -- The Fountainbleau finally responded to all the backlash, and this is what they had to say ... "The Tavern menu was designed to be 'bar food favorites, all grown up.'"
The Tavern menu was designed to be “bar food favorites, all grown up.” We hope you’ll excuse our growing pains while the nachos went through their awkward phase. We’re thrilled to report they’ve matured into one stacked snack. pic.twitter.com/CIibhiGMrQ

They add, "We hope you’ll excuse our growing pains while the nachos went through their awkward phase. We’re thrilled to report they’ve matured into one stacked snack."
Fontainebleau Las Vegas found itself in a sticky situation ... drowning knee-deep in melted cheese after photos of some lackluster nachos went viral -- with people crapping on them.
Here's the deal ... an X user posted a pic of nachos he said he bought from The Tavern at the Vegas hotel Monday that the user said his party waited an hour to get -- and, quite frankly, they left quite a lot to be desired.
Check it out -- six total chips, crusted in melted cheese, with almost as many condiments as actual food to put them on ... and if you're wondering how much they cost, the outraged poster said he paid $24 for the food. That's quite the hunk of cheddar.
Of course, other people on the internet were outraged on the guy's behalf and started recommending other places to go if he wanted some premium nachos -- well, FLV must've got the memo 'cause they turned things around in a hurry.
Unfortunately for Fontainebleau, other hotels and casinos seemingly ordered their nachos with extra spice ... 'cause their social media accounts capitalized on the viral moment to post their pics of their own offering.
Circa Las Vegas, OYO Hotel and Binion's Gambling Hall are just a few of the locations that shared their own photos. They don't directly call out Fontaine, but the message from other hotels seems pretty clear -- come get our chips 'cause Fontainebleau is na-cho destination for great nachos. That's definitely the sentiment, anyway ... they're drizzling on extra shots.
Fontainebleau already upgraded their viral nachos pic.twitter.com/q1Ter0cet7
— Jacob Orth (@JacobsVegasLife) January 25, 2024 @JacobsVegasLife
FWIW, a local Vegas influencer went to the hotel later in the week and received a more respectable-looking plate of nachos -- certainly more than six chips at the very least -- so maybe people will consider bringing their fiestas back to Fontaine!
We've reached out to Fontainebleau about all the viral attention ... so far no word back.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas Mejora sus nachos tras las quejas online ¡¡La competencia se aprovecha!!
Fontainebleau Las Vegas se encontró en una vergonzosa situación después de que unas fotos de sus regulares nachos se hicieran virales y la gente los empezara a destrozar.
Esta es la cuestión, un usuario de X publicó una foto de los nachos que compró en el hotel de Las Vegas el lunes, particularmente en The Tavern. La persona cuenta que estos tardaron una hora en llegar y, francamente, dejaron mucho que desear.
Echa un vistazo, en total son seis nachos con costra de queso derretido, con casi tantos condimentos como alimentos reales y si usted se está preguntando cuánto cuestan, el indignado usuario dijo que pagó $24 por la comida. Vaya pedazo de queso cheddar.
Por supuesto, otras personas de Internet también estaban indignadas en nombre del chico y comenzaron a recomendarle otros lugares si quería comer nachos de calidad, y el hotel debe haber recibido el aviso, porque cambiaron las cosas a toda prisa.
Desafortunadamente para Fontainebleau, otros hoteles y casinos aparentemente vieron una oportunidad de marketing, porque rápidamente capitalizaron el momento en sus redes sociales para publicar fotos de su propia oferta.
Circa Las Vegas, OYO Hotel y Binion's Gambling Hall son solo algunos de los establecimientos que compartieron sus propias fotos. No critican directamente a Fontaine, pero el mensaje de los otros hoteles parece bastante claro: "Vengan por nuestros chips porque Fontainebleau na-cho el destino para los mejores nachos". Ese es definitivamente el sentimiento, de todos modos y le están sacando ventaja.

¡Lo que es importante, un influencer de Las Vegas fue al hotel más tarde en la semana y recibió un plato de nachos de aspecto más respetable! Sin duda más de seis nachos por lo menos, así que tal vez la gente considere irse de fiesta nuevamente a Fontaine.

El cómico Mark Normand es expulsado del escenario en medio de su show
Mark Normand fue retirado del escenario en medio de su show de stand-up esta semana y se convirtió en un momento de miedo... porque el público finalmente le pidió que abandonara el escenario.
El comediante estuvo el miércoles por la noche en el famoso Club de la Comedia de Nueva York, cuando de repente hubo una reacción extraña en la multitud, la cual no era tan grande, por lo que la conmoción muy notable y sospechosa.
Mark se dio cuenta y torpemente trató de averiguar lo que estaba pasando desde el micrófono, bromeando y tratando de mantener las cosas ligeras, hasta que le pidierom que se retirara.
Es bastante extraño, y se puede decir que el público empezó a entrar en pánico, porque nadie decía lo que estaba pasando o si alguien estaba en peligro. Finalmente, se les pidió que fueran por el productor del espectáculo, aunque, no hubo ninguna explicación adecuada de por qué pasó lo que pasó.
La gente comenzó a levantarse de sus asientos y mientras el productor les pidió que mantuvieran la calma, es difícil decir si realmente lo hicieron. Super raro y muy preocupante.
Aún más extraño es el hecho de que el propio Mark ha estado tuiteando el jueves por la mañana como si nada hubiera pasado, aunque habló por Insta para tratar de dar explicaciones.
Él escribió: "Algo muy raro pasó el día de hoy, mi equipo todavía está tratando de reunir los detalles, lo siento por los fans." Suena como si ni siquiera él supiera que es lo que pasó. Algunos han sospechado que se trataba de algún tipo de truco... pensando en el tipo de humor de Mark, pero él asegura que no es el caso.
Nos hemos puesto en contacto con el equipo de Mark y con el propio club para pedir aclaraciones, pero de momento, no hemos recibido respuesta.
Comedian Mark Normand Rushed Offstage at NYC Comedy Club ... Audience Evacuated
update
2:49 PM PT -- As it turns out, we were all duped by whatever happened at Mark Normand's set last night -- 'cause now the comedy club itself is saying it was all a staged stunt.
The New York Comedy Club posted a statement to their IG page apologizing for causing the panic, but noting that there was some filming going on ... and that it was all part of some production. They're offering a free show to those who got the boot -- so that's that.
Mark Normand was whisked away in the middle of his stand-up show this week -- and it made for a scary moment ... because the audience was eventually asked to GTFO, too.
The comedian was in the middle of a set Wednesday night at the famed New York Comedy Club, when all of a sudden ... there was some frantic activity out in the crowd -- which wasn't all that big, making the commotion very noticeable and suspicious.
Mark noticed it too ... and he awkwardly tried figuring out what was going on from the mic -- cracking jokes/attempting to keep things light, that is ... until he was asked to bounce, too.
It's pretty freaky ... and you can tell the audience started panicking, because nobody was saying what was happening and if anyone was in danger. Eventually, they were asked to leave by the producer of the show ... although, no proper explanation was given for why.
People started getting up from their seats and filing out, and while the producer asked them to keep calm -- it's hard to say if they actually did or not. Super weird, and very concerning.
Even more bizarre is the fact that Mark himself has been tweeting Thursday morning as if nothing happened -- although, he did hop on IG to somewhat address what the deal was.
He wrote, "Some s*** went down tonight my team is still trying to put together the details, sorry to the fans." On its face, it sounds like not even he knows why this unfolded. Some have suspected this was some kind of stunt -- in line with MN's humor -- but it ain't.
We've reached out to Mark's team and the club itself for clarification ... so far, no word back.
