Filmmaker Spike Lee was involved in a heated altercation at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday evening. Lee was dining in the Legend Suite area before the New York Yankees hosted the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of their wild-card series when an unidentified individual approached him.
The fan reportedly began filming Lee and asking about his thoughts on Palestine. The situation intensified when the individual allegedly requested Lee to say "f--- Palestine" while simultaneously asking for a selfie.
This alleged demand enraged the Oscar-winning filmmaker, who was heard shouting, "Why did you come over to me?" Staff members intervened, and another individual was seen directing the disruptive fan to leave the area.
Prior to the incident, Lee had been in a cordial mood, taking photos and even leaving seats open at his table. He had attended Game 1 the previous night with his daughter and posted a positive social media update.
