As seen in the video obtained by PageSix, the media personality swiftly shifted into Mama Bear mode and escorted her daughter away from harm. The mother of four entrusted Harper to some friends, placing the 12-year-old in a vehicle with them.

After saying her goodbyes, the "Learning to Fly" author returned to Gekko, the Miami restaurant that Bad Bunny and David Grutman co-owned. The "Victoria's Secrets" star, alongside her husband and daughter, patronized the diner in honor of Messi's Inter Miami's victory.

They commemorated the occasion alongside the soccer superstar's wife, Antonella Roccuzzo when the fight broke out. In the video, the unidentified wounded male claimed he got punched in the face and kicked out because security suspected he tried to take the group's pictures.

The man, who had a bloody face, said, "They jumped at us. … Just because my homeboy was trying to take a picture with his wife, not with Beckham or Messi, nothing. It was a family thing."

A woman in the background supported his claims: "He's a family man, celebrating his daughter's 21st birthday." The man and his companions verbally aired grievances against the security personnel outside the Gekko restaurant in another scene.

A female could be heard repeatedly yelling for the dismissal of the guard who allegedly bloodied the man's face. "How dare you! Where's the manager? How f—king dare you! That's f—king wild!" The woman screamed. "Someone needs to get fired."

Despite the heated tension between the guests and the restaurant's security, a rep for Gekko assured the outlet the patron's unruly behavior caused the accused employee's actions. The insider said, "An intoxicated guest was overbearingly taking photos of fellow guests and was asked to stop. He continued taking photos and was calmly escorted off the property."
