Comedian Corey Holcomb was caught on video allegedly punching a female comic outside a Hollywood club in a shocking incident that has since surfaced. The footage shows a group of people standing outside the Hollywood Improv, with a woman identified as Cristina Patyne appearing to shout at Holcomb.
In the video, several bystanders rushed at Holcomb and tackled him to the ground in an attempt to stop the altercation. Despite the violent encounter, authorities did not arrest Holcomb, even though Payne filed a battery report with the Los Angeles Police Department following the attack.
The LAPD has not provided any immediate comments on the incident, but law enforcement sources suggest that the confrontation between Holcomb and Payne was the result of a months-long dispute between the two comedians. Reports indicate that the tension between them dates back to at least July 2024 when Holcomb allegedly made threatening comments about Payne, including stating that he would “super sock” her.
Neither Holcomb nor his representatives have addressed the incident, and the Hollywood Improv, where the altercation took place, has remained silent on the matter. The ongoing feud between Holcomb and Payne culminated in the physical altercation captured on video, sparking outrage and concern within the comedy community.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of unresolved conflicts in the entertainment industry, highlighting the importance of addressing disputes in a peaceful and constructive manner. As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how both parties involved will navigate the aftermath of this disturbing incident.
