Mike Van Wyck assaulting Jeff Nippard?

[control]

WTF? Shit looks pretty bad

 

[Fleezy]

ok i guess i'll look it up myself

I agree it looks bad, particularly for Van Wyck. I saw Nippard's video that upset Van Wyck and he didn't denigrate Van Wyck in any way. It was as nice and respectful a response as he could give to Van Wyck given what he said (essentially natural bodybuilders are small and mediocre).

I'm not surprised Van Wyck assaulted him as he's told similar stories on Fouad Abiad's podcast but I don't think it was called for, and I'm the type who would absolutely do something like that if a person was out of line. It'll be interesting to see the fallout.

so much for Canadians being terminally polite

Someone that was there has said Jeff wanted to talk to him and wouldn't leave him alone. Mike walked 75 feet away to train his client and Jeff followed him and the video that has been released shows what happens after that. There is supposed to be a full video that is going to come out which will show everything that happened. I was going to write people always jump to conclusions and cancel culture is full in effect right now with people trying to get him thrown off the podcast and for him to be sued etc.

Mike is known to be a hot head and Jeff has the total opposite reputation and is very liked all over and is polite and well mannered and his response video on IG to Mike was just that. Although Mike didn't even mention him by name but I am sure he had a few in mind when posting that video.

I assumed it must be all Mike being a tit but who knows and why has Jeff turned up in his place of work 1-2 days after the video so it must have been to get content. They are probably both in the wrong and Mike shouldn't have reacted the way he did but if Jeff followed him like that can he be surprised he would react that way. I guess we will learn the truth once the full video comes out.

I liked Fouad's video about cancel culture and how Mike is welcome on the podcast for as long as he wants to be on there because they are mates. I could tell he probably thought he had done something bad (overreacted) but you don't cancel people over 1 mistake. Although he knows the back story so if it's true you can't blame him but the short clip does look bad but how would most men react if someone came to your work and followed you for the sake of content. At the same time they both have their reputations for good reason so it's hard to think Jeff is to blame between the 2.

It is crazy in today's world if someone does 1 mistake and it's nothing really bad people still want blood. They want the person to lose their job, lose all their income, get sued and go to jail. I use the term "bad" in context because whilst it's out of order it's not like he battered him or done something really evil. I remember in this country a video came out of a police officer kicking someone on the floor and the whole nation saw the clip and demanded he lose his job. He was suspended and during that suspension the full video come out which basically showed the group of lads break the female police officer's nose then punch the male officer over and over in the head. He overpowered one of them and got up and that's when the clip starts so people should always wait for the full story before forming a conclusion.

Ya so….assaulting someone because you were attempting to talk to them or following them in a public gym is completely illegal, and makes you a total douchbag.

It doesn’t honestly matter what you think. In America that’s considered battery, and is a felony, regardless whether or not the person was annoying you

 

[Samson250]

Dude didn’t miss that piece of equipment by much.

 

[need4tren]

People to soft these days. Social media kids need to learn there’s some people in the world you don’t try and piss off. Instead you start recording and continue to harass a guy that doesn’t want to talk to you. Mike shoulda just knocked him out

 

[danieltx]

Here's a much more funny story about Van Wyck kind of assaulting the guy seated in front of him on a plane when the guy kept reclining his seat.

Did I say it mattered what I think? What I think means nothing but it's an open forum and we can post our opinions on subjects even though we have absolutely no say on the outcome. I am sure he is going to get in bad trouble for what he done. I also know the law but regardless of the law the way he reacted is totally out of order. Even if he had reason to react aggressively (he didn't) he still broke the law so if Jeff wants to press charges he is going to get in trouble. I was just highlighting before people judge his reaction maybe see the full video. Again though you don't go around doing that to people regardless how they act because in today's world that few minutes you lost your temper could result in your life/career being fucked up.

Update from Jeff

If this is true and I’m inclined to believe it is, Mike was way out of line and 100% at fault. What a fucking idiot.

 

[Jefe]

Cancel culture fits into this how? It just seems like actions have consequences

 

[Elvia1023]

Exactly. If you go by social media it seems to be fairly common knowledge that Mike is a bit of a tit though. There have been quite a few instances were he has acted like this. You could use the term bully until someone his own size gets involved. He kicked off at an expo and the guy stood up to him and he backed down. Maybe after this happened his mates at the gym got together and quickly made up the story about Jeff harassing him so it didn't sound as bad. I am guessing that full video will never come out because it might not exist but who knows.

 

[Growthman]

This constitutes a battery at common law, not just mere assault.

It really doesn’t matter what happened before this. There are exactly 0 scenarios where you can legally put your hands on someone unless you or someone else are in imminent risk of physical danger. Which Mike clearly wasn’t since he had to walk over to Jeff in order to batter him

 

[juiceball44]

A CT scan?? Lol dude acts like he got knocked unconscious. It was out of line but come man he just got pushed down

 

[heavyhitter]

Even if Mike had told him to stay away from him. Jeff is well within his rights to be in a public gym and approach Mike. His actions would be illegal and unwarranted in either case
