A brawl in the stands during a Cleveland Guardians game between the Toronto Blue Jays gained attention after OutKick published a story about the incident. One of the women involved in the video reached out to provide her side of the story. Brandi Pierce contacted OutKick to clarify that her family did not start the fight, claiming that a drunk and belligerent couple behind them initiated the altercation. She shared a video showing the couple screaming obscenities and her stepdaughter asking them to leave.
Pierce explained that her family left to get food after continuous screaming from the people behind them. Upon their return, a police officer warned the couple to calm down, which led to the blonde woman accusing Pierce’s stepdaughter of informing the officer about their behavior. When the blonde woman physically threatened her stepdaughter, Pierce intervened by throwing a bowl of chicken nachos in her face, leading to a physical altercation.
Footage of the fight captured Pierce throwing punches at both the woman and a man, while her husband tried to separate them. Another fan in the section recorded the incident and shared the videos with Pierce following the removal of the blonde woman and her partner by security. The fan believed that the blonde woman deserved the confrontation, as confirmed by the video evidence.

She apologized to the surrounding fans for the disturbance caused by the fight and expressed that she and her family were not looking for trouble when they attended the game for a night out in Cleveland. She received a standing ovation from fans when the blonde woman and her boyfriend were removed from the game.
Pierce expressed disappointment in the portrayal of her family as “drunk fools” by many media outlets covering the incident, emphasizing that this was not the case. She appreciated OutKick’s coverage and reached out to share her perspective on the incident. A fan who took videos of the fight also commented that much of the information circulating about the altercation was inaccurate. OutKick welcomed anyone who witnessed or was involved in the altercation to share their side of the story by reaching out via email.
Overall, the altercation at the Cleveland Guardians game involved a dispute between Brandi Pierce’s family and a drunk couple behind them, resulting in a physical confrontation. Pierce defended her stepdaughter from the aggressive behavior of the couple, leading to a fight that was captured on video by another fan.
