In TikTok footage captured by a concertgoer, fans in the crowd are seen getting involved in a scuffle, with some falling to the floor.
'I mean, this is not a Travis Scott concert,' Johnson told the crowd, referring to Scott's 2021 Astroworld concert in which a crowd surge killed 10 people and injured hundreds more. 'There's kids in the crowd, there are all kinds of things in here that don't need to happen.'
'There we go, there are the police officers,' he added.
According to the Daily Mail, Johnson had opened up about 'unity and not being divided' ahead of his performance of 'God Bless America.'

After the fight, Johnson told the crowd, 'Well, so much for my speech on not being divided.'
A representative for Johnson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Johnson is not the only country star who has stopped mid-concert to address a rowdy crowd.
In March, Carly Pearce confronted 'angry' fans during a performance at O2 Academy Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

'We're all here to just have a good night, you know what I mean? We're all friends at my shows,' Pearce said, as she paused her concert to address fans when a fight broke out.

Haggard-looking ‘Liver King' seen in new mugshot after arrest for ‘terroristic threat' against Joe Rogan
Infamous influencer 'Liver King' appeared unkempt and haggard in a newly released mugshot following his bizarre arrest for allegedly making a terroristic threat against podcaster Joe Rogan. YouTuber Brian Johnson, 47, was busted in Austin, Texas on Tuesday when he suddenly appeared on Rogan's property talking about 'picking a fight' while packing what appears to be two golden firearms, according to footage he posted to social media. Johnson's disheveled appearance in his booking photo is a stark contrast to the polished image he curated for himself on YouTube as the buff 'CEO of ancestral life.' Advertisement He stares dead into the camera with very little emotion behind his eyes, which are dragged down by hefty bags. 4 Brian Johnson, better known as the 'Liver King', shocked in a mugshot released after his arrest. Austin Police Department Johnson gained fame on social media by attributing his ripped physique to a wild diet of animal testicles, liver and fertilized chicken eggs. Advertisement But in 2022 he admitted he blew through $11,000 a month for steroids to maintain his brawny body. The YouTuber hasn't appeared in a video on his channel in eight months but during that time, he's begun to post daily on his Instagram, often consisting of a confounding tirades that's sparked concern among his fans. 'The Joe Rogan Experience' doesn't feature an episode with Johnson as a guest, but he has come up multiple times before on the show when the discussion centers around bodybuilding and performance-enhancing drugs. 4 Johnson hasn't appeared in a video on his YouTube channel in eight months. Instagram/@liverking Advertisement On Wednesday, Johnson shared a nonsensical video promoting Blue Scorpion Venom, a pain and inflammation reliever that is often marketed to cancer patients but 'has not been scientifically proven to treat cancer in humans,' according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. In the video, Johnson addresses his arrest while only referring to Rogan as 'some guy,' but directly refers to the podcaster's comedy club 'Mothership' by name. 'Some guy, he thought if you just put him in jail, put him in jail, have the violent crimes division, have them come arrest him for a terroristic threat and the whole time that terroristic threat you thought was a bomb or something, inside that box was actually a present back for you and your Mothership colleagues for having my wife and me in Mothership that I've held on to for awhile just looking for the right time to give it to you,' Johnson rambled. 4 Johnson and his wife, Barbara Johnson. Instagram/@liverking Advertisement Johnson has continued to allude to the fight he hopes to have with Rogan in a slew of posts on his social media. 'This is truly so disappointing. This is not the way. Too much testosterone and pride here. You're an influencer and people will say things. Just move on,' one fan wrote in response to Johnson's recent and erratic posts. 4 Johnson has posted increasingly confusing videos on his Instagram. Instagram/@liverking 'Bro clean yourself up and leave your kids with a great family name. You are destroying what you have grown acting weird af,' another user commented. Still, Johnson appears to be dead set on having his cage match with black belt Rogan. 'No laws will be broken, I assure you of that. No details will be discussed either,' Johnson said. Rogan has not commented on Johnson's arrest or incessant invites to fight. Johnson faces a class B misdemeanor charge for allegedly making a terroristic threat and was held at Travis County Jail in Austin on a bond of $20,000 before his release.

Pit Bull's Look of 'Betrayal' After Feeling Pregnant Mom's Baby Kick Is Priceless
Pit Bull's Look of 'Betrayal' After Feeling Pregnant Mom's Baby Kick Is Priceless originally appeared on Parade Pets. Our fur babies can sense when change is in the air. Whether it's moving to a new home, a different schedule, or an impending vacation, dogs know when things are going to be different. Koa the Pit Bull got a clear-cut sign that a baby is on the way and was clearly troubled by the news. In the TikTok from @jazminedumoulin, Koa was resting on his mom's pregnant stomach when he obviously felt something stirring in her belly. The precious Pittie's zen mood was broken as his mom laughed, "Did you hear her?" referring to her soon-to-arrive baby girl. Koa slowly moved his head to give his mom a very pointed look. He had an expression of disbelief mixed with what his mom called 'betrayal'. "When your dog feels your baby's kick for the first time and ends up looking betrayed," the onscreen text explained. Apparently, Koa was so bothered by the belly activity he decided to keep his distance. "Update... he hasn't laid on my stomach since," the caption Koa doesn't fully understand the whole process of pregnancy, but he knew something was up. The pup's look of questioning and concern spoke volumes — and was completely adorable. Though dogs can't conceive (pardon the pun) what it means for their human mom to be pregnant, they most likely know there's a change through their sense of smell. A pregnant woman's hormones can affect their scent, which is picked up by your canine. Pregnancy affects mood as well, which is noticeable to our dogs. So although they can't pinpoint exactly what is different, canines perceive something unfamiliar. Some pups get protective when their mom is pregnant, where their natural instinct to guard kicks in. They can become hyper-vigilant and almost watch over their loved one, sensing a more vulnerable state. Dogs may also stay close by their expecting mom at home in the hopes of making sure she's safe. Koa has some time to prepare for his family's new arrival. The Pit Bull looks like a big sweetie and will make a great big brother. 🐶🐾🐾 Pit Bull's Look of 'Betrayal' After Feeling Pregnant Mom's Baby Kick Is Priceless first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 25, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

Suzanne Somers' Widower Alan Hamel Spotted With Her Former Costar Joanna Cassidy
Suzanne Somers' Widower Alan Hamel Spotted With Her Former Costar Joanna Cassidy originally appeared on Parade. Suzanne Somers' widower, Alan Hamel, may have found love again after the Three's Company star's death in October 2023, and it's with her former costar Joanna Cassidy. Hamel and Cassidy were seen strolling arm-in-arm in Malibu in photos shared by the Daily Mail on June 24. The Blade Runner star wore a gray jacket over a white top and plaid pants while Hamel donned an orange and yellow button-down shirt. Both wore matching white caps. The outlet reported that the duo stopped and enjoyed a lobster lunch at Broad Beach Oyster Company before they left together in a black SUV. Parade has reached out to Cassidy's reps for comment. Somers and Cassidy previously worked together on the 1985 miniseries Hollywood Wives, which featured an ensemble cast and became a cult favorite. While the two weren't frequently photographed together after the project, they remained part of the same Hollywood circle for decades. Cassidy was previously married to Dr. Kennard C. Kobrin, whom she met during her college years. The two tied the knot in 1964 and over the course of their marriage, they welcomed a son, Daniel Kobrin, and a daughter, Natalie Kobrin. They were married for around eight years before divorcing in 1972. Since then, Cassidy hasn't remarried. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Hamel and Somers first met when she appeared as a model on the game show he hosted at the time, The Anniversary Game, in 1969, and he asked her out on a date soon after. "My first date with him, I did everything that my mother told me not to do," Somers once said during an appearance on Daily Blast Live. "It's the first time I ever went to a man's hotel room, and it's the first time I ever slept with a man on the first date." They dated for several years before finally marrying on November 19, 1977, and even though Somers once said that she and Hamel 'fought like dogs' in the early years, they remained together until her death on October 15, 2023, following a long battle with cancer. 'After one of our fights, Suzanne said to me, 'No matter how bad it gets, let's never break up.' And we never did,' Hamel said during an interview with Page Six, marking the first anniversary of her death.
