Alicia Hannah-Kim, known for her role in the popular series “Cobra Kai,” found herself in the headlines recently after an alleged altercation with fellow actor Martin Kove. The incident reportedly took place at a fan convention in Washington, where Kove is said to have bitten Hannah-Kim’s arm so hard that it almost broke the skin.
In body cam footage obtained by TMZ from the Puyallup Police, Hannah-Kim can be seen confronting Kove about the incident. She expressed her anger and disappointment, stating that while they may have engaged in horseplay on set, his actions crossed a major line. The actress was so upset that she felt the need to involve the police.
Following the altercation, Kove was asked to leave the fan convention and nearly faced arrest over the accusation. Both Hannah-Kim and her husband, who witnessed the incident, confronted Kove about his behavior. They claimed that Kove was visibly angry when he was told not to bite and insisted that it was done in jest.
During the confrontation, Hannah-Kim even went as far as to tell Kove that she would have physically confronted him if he were 20 years younger, using his age as a jab. Despite Kove’s attempts to explain himself and apologize for his actions, Hannah-Kim chose not to press charges but requested an informational report be taken for future reference.
In a statement released after the incident, Kove expressed deep regret and apologized for his actions, referring to Hannah-Kim as a wonderful person. While Hannah-Kim has remained silent on the matter, the police video captured her firm stance and refusal to tolerate such behavior.
The incident between Hannah-Kim and Kove serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting boundaries and handling disagreements in a mature and professional manner. It also highlights the need for clear communication and accountability in all interactions, especially in the entertainment industry where tensions can run high.
