Actor Wendell Pierce spent Saturday morning cooling his heels in an Atlanta jail on a simple battery charge.
The portly 52-year-old actor is best known for his role as a Baltimore vice detective in HBO’s acclaimed crime drama series The Wire.
Gossip tabloid TMZ reports Pierce struck up a conversation with a Bernie Sanders supporter in the lobby of the Loews Hotel in Atlanta.
The conversation turned to politics; and Pierce, who is voting for Hillary Clinton, got heated. Pierce shoved the woman’s boyfriend aside and began striking the Bernie supporter and pulling her hair.
The couple escaped and called hotel security, who called police.
According to arrest records, Pierce, 52, was booked in Fulton County Jail on Saturday and released later that day on a $1,000 bond.
Further details about the arrest were not immediately known. A rep for Pierce did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Good morning everyone! GoT people I haven’t watched it yet sorry.
It’s never that deep.
I know him forever as Michael, from “Waiting to Exhale” lmbo.
Does he feel it’s ok to strike a woman because he’s voting for a woman? How you gone go through the man to get to the woman?
There are a list of things you don’t discuss with everybody:
Politics
Religion
Their badass kids
And THEIR man
RIGHT! Ol fat fukka. LOL
Bernie supporters are a special kind of ignorant though, they really are.
I read somewhere that this happened around 3:30 a.m. Nothing good ever happens at that time of morning. Take your drunk end up to the room and go to bed.
So this “fat f#@k”(Robin’s voice in Waiting to Exhale) likes to hit women??
It clearly wasn’t that deep if they let him go for 1000 bucks and slap on the wrist.
ME too!! I forget he was Bunk! Will forever be the 2 minute brotha
It was G.O.O.D!!!!!!
It was deep enough for him to shove the man aside and put his hands on the woman and pull her hair like a punk.
Again, slap on the wrist and a minimal fine. I’ve read else where she inserted herself into this situation.
This is why I don’t discuss Politics with strangers. Folks take it too far. Your bickering turns physical because of Hillary and Bernie? Really?! For real?! Seriously?! Come on son…
His non fukkin ass.
Russell Wilson was messy AF at the Univ. of Wisconsin graduation over the weekend in re to him being kicked out of NC State program. And I am here for every drop of it.
And so is my former employer. He is the lead story this morning. Sports hardly EVER leads unless its basketball season.

#FeelTheBern #Helpful
Shit Bernie supporters say, No where near a Trump Supporter…lol
This is why they suck…lol
Learned 3 out of 4 of these thr hard way. My mom warned me about the politics conversation. Lol.
Good for Russell. He kept it moving & the rest is history. I think it’s a good example for the grads. No matter what happens, get back up & make some different moves if the old ones don’t work.
Because I respecK correct grammar?
Which three? LOL
This. ?
I only discuss the last 2 when folks ask for my opinion. I always put a disclaimer on it. “But that’s just me though.” LOL
I really love him in Treme’ that use to come on HBO.

It sure was!!!
All of this violence for what? Y’all sure he isn’t a Rump supporter?
I remember him in the Wire, but him growling on Robyn for 15 seconds in Waiting to Exhale is a classic.
He had to be high on something b/c this was some dumb ish!
Yup and from the TV show Girlfriends with the HIPS and Girdle.
He was fighting a female? I am shocked, I thought he was better than this #imageruined
“I own a house… In Scottsdale… What else?”
Interesting read. ?
I don’t believe that is what went down. I don’t see him pulling a females hair nor hitting her.
You can’t believe everything the media says. Lol
What in the entire hell???
You know folks don’t read the fine print. LOL
Like a Roman Candle ?
Naw…that was another dude with the girdle action. Wendell was on there as a real estate person that helped Toni childs after she fell off.
No way!! I bought all the DVDs and I got this wrong *slaps self* Thanks for clarifying. Man they look a like then…..
Rodney Van Johnson out of the ‘Nati.
THAT episode is a classic. Childbearing hips and girdles. ?
This guy has ruined his reputation over some BS!
So we’re going THAT hard for Hillary??
His azz was trippin ??
I was watching Waiting to Exhale this weekend. This dude needs to stop! I still can’t believe they casted him as Clarence Thomas. Courtney B. Vance would have been a much better choice.
“Pierce shoved the woman’s boyfriend aside and began striking the Bernie supporter and pulling her hair.”
All over Hillary Clinton though? I don’t believe he just started beating on some random woman though….that sounds like BS.
I remember him from BROWN SUGAR and he signed the rapping dalmations.. lmaoo
Vote for who you want to violence is unnecessary
Oh yes in deed!
He went HARDT
He gonna learn
he voting for Hillary??? NAHHHH I dont believe it.
They probably put their hands in his pocket!
Every role he has played with the exception of 1 he was a mean old bunk Machine. I’d be scared!
I don’t really believe he did this. (I don’t wanna believe it) he was just in the news about raising all thay money to build homes for artist in Baltimore
in a hotel lobby at 3 am talking to a couple… Hotels don’t check in people until about 3 pm and check out is 11am… neither one of them just got there. what time does the bar close?
Hmmm hmmmm. y’all can say this was about politics if you want, but I detect otherwise!
I wonder what Heaven and Tracy think about this?
I agree this is “Alleged” we don’t know what went down.
LOL. i don’t know why this is so funny but it is!
No we are not. Hillary supporters are delusional and liars just like her.
The conversation turned to politics; and Pierce, who is voting for Hillary Clinton, got heated. Pierce shoved the woman’s boyfriend aside and began striking the Bernie supporter and pulling her hair.

and horny
and their weight and if they are vegan or not
Someone once told me only legs and the liquor house open after the witching hour. Bwahahaha!
I refuse to believe, that grown man pushed and shoved some random woman.
I refuse.
He does not carry himself as such.
Sandra, you sure do have a way in using adjectives! It makes reading your posts so entertaining
that shiit wasnt about no dam politics…it was a threesome negotiation gone wrong.
Stop playing.
What in the left side of hell!!???!!! There’s something deep down in my spirit telling me that there is much more to this story. He swung on the female and not the male? What really happened, hmmm? Let’s see, he met the young woman and took her up to his room. When he stepped out of this pants she saw those knocked knees and pigeon toes, she grabbed his wallet, the Budweiser, and Ciroc off the night table and made a dash for the door. Her pimp was down stairs and got in between them and all hell broke loose. Yep sounds about right to me. *Giggles*
Didn’t this man open a grocery store for the black community in New Orleans recently? I smell trumped up charges.
I really picture him grabbing a fistful of premium bundles and bashing the lady upside her head with all his might for some reason… idk why
People can’t be civilized about politics. Just go and vote your conscience. No need to rationalized with the neanderthals and they are in all camps.
Religion, kids, and men. NEVER talk to your friend about her man. And when she calls to complain, never give her your opinion. She doesn’t care or actually want to hear it.
“portly actor”BOL
I am weak BOL
They’ve been giving us life every episode & there’s still 6 more to go !
He better be good his show “The Odd Couple was just renewed for a second season.They will replace him in a heartbeat .
It appears that everyone goes to jail except for people like Trump supporters, black children murdering cops, George Zimmerman, Brian Encina… I could go on and on. You can get away with anything if you aren’t WE ALL KNOW WHAT!
He is on the tv show SUITS now. I highly recommend it. Good unpredictable show with a lot of us on it.
Thanks for the recommendation! I love to support good, smart shows; especially when we are represented. Adding to my DVR.
When you get a chance, try to binge and watch it from season 1. You will not be disappointed.
another $hillary simp here…not surprised.
