It appears the DA believes Blake Griffin did in fact pimp slap a man for taking his picture at a Las Vegas nightclub.
According to TMZ, Griffin was accused of slapping a man named Daniel at TAO nightclub.
Blake Griffin has been accused of bitch-slapping a 39-year-old man inside a nightclub in Vegas this weekend … TMZ Sports has learned.
Here’s what we know … a man named Daniel says he was partying at Tao nightclub in the Venetian in the early hours of October 19th when he tried to take a cell phone pic of the crowd.
Daniel says he didn’t let go of the phone because his ID and credit card were attached to it — so Blake grabbed his neck and began to squeeze while demanding Daniel give up his phone “or else.”
According to the statement, the two eventually separated after Blake took the phone — and when Daniel tried to ask for it back, Blake struck again … grabbing his neck and squeezing for a second time.
Daniel says when security finally got to the scene — Blake told them, “Get him the f**k out of this club.”
Daniel says Blake then “slapped me in the right side of my face.”
The Clark County D.A. has now charged Griffin with one count of misdemeanor battery. Griffin’s Clippers teammates, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul were with him that night, but neither were charged.
