Spectacular Blue Smith arrested for allegedly sneezing on Walt Disney World employee

Spectacular Blue Smith has been arrested after he allegedly assaulted a Walt Disney World employee, while visiting the resort’s Animal Kingdom theme park on Monday.

The entertainer, 35, reportedly struck the employee after sneezing on him and uttering ‘coronavirus’, as per the arrest affidavit obtained by People on Tuesday. 

After news broke, Smith took to Instagram and issued a statement to his fans in an attempt to explain the incident.

‘The more success you have as a black man, the bigger target you are,’ he began.

‘The media will put out a one sides story even without facts, because they enjoy demonizing our culture and bringing us down. It’s sad.’

He noted that ‘however, when you know your rights, you know that you have the right to remain silent and a right to have a lawyer present before giving a statement.

‘With that said, there’s 2 sides to every story and since this story is bigger than me and the color of my skin, I’ll wait til my attorney gives the green light.

‘Thanks for your support. Love. PS: Y’all know my character,’ wrote the star, followed by a heart emoji. 

After the male employee asked Smith to leave the line for making the remark, he claimed that Smith ‘turned and punched him on his right side jaw and right temple area.’ 

As the full story goes, the employee stated that, following Smith’s poorly humorous sneeze, he communicated to the star that his ‘joke was not funny.’

‘I thought it was,’ Smith allegedly replied, which caused the cast member to reply: ‘Then you’ll think it’s hilarious, if I asked you to step out of the line.’

Authorities allege that Smith ‘refused to leave the line, and the two argued for a few moments before the employee put his arm out in an attempt to stop Smith from continuing in the line.’  

As claimed in the affidavit, Smith ‘turned and punched [the employee] on his right side jaw and right temple area.’

After the incident occurred, the Disney employee called upon police and told the reporting officers that he ‘stumbled and fell’ and he ‘was in shock and thought he might’ve lost consciousness’ from Smith’s punch. 

The employee, as per the affidavit, was ‘taken to Horizon West Hospital, and diagnosed with a concussion after undergoing a CT scan.’ 

According to park attendees who witnessed the event, they told authorities police ‘they heard the exchange, and two others allegedly said that they saw Smith punch the employee.’  

‘Smith’s son reportedly told police that his dad had accidentally struck the employee as he lost his balance’ the outlet stated. 

The entertainer was allegedly arrested with a misdemeanor battery charge, with a bond set at $500.

Walt Disney Word, despite the looming coronavirus, reopened in July, with ‘several new protocols in a bid to try to protect employees and guests from the spread of COVID-19.’
