Former New England Patriots pass-rusher Willie McGinest is being sued for allegedly punching a man at a California gym in 2021, according to TMZ Sports.
The plaintiff, Andrew Cortez, says he was using the bench press at 24 Hour Fitness in Long Beach, California, on June 21, 2021, when someone took one of the plates he was using. When Cortez told the person he wasn't done with the plate, he claims McGinest got involved and said "the f--k you mean?"
McGinest then allegedly punched Cortez in the face. Three other men allegedly got involved in the altercation and also began punching him in the head and back "30 to 40 times.
