Kiefer Sutherland headbutted fashion designer, Jack McCollough at last week’s Met Gala afterparty over allegedly “jostling” Brooke Shields. Now, his camp is releasing a statement saying that he doesn’t feel that he did anything wrong.
His lawyer said:
“We are troubled by the untruthful and self-serving information circulating regarding Kiefer Sutherland and events of last Monday evening. We are confident, however, that the investigation being conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the NYPD will confirm that Kiefer Sutherland was neither the instigator nor a wrongdoer in this incident. Out of respect for this law enforcement process, Kiefer Sutherland will not be making any comment.”
Kiefer was not arrested, but was charged with misdemeanor assault stemming from the incident. He was issued with a desk appearance ticket and is due in court for arraignment in the coming weeks.

Kiefer Sutherland was drunk at a Met Gala after-party when he saw a man knock Brooke Shields over. Sutherland reportedly approached the man, fashion designer, Jack McCollough and told him to apologize to Shields.
McCollough then reportedly pushed Sutherland, to which the actor responded with a headbutt.
TMZ is reporting now that Sutherland is being charged with misdemeanor assault over the incident.
People magazine reports that the victim says that Sutherland’s attack was unprovoked.
McCollough’s rep said, “Anyone who knows Jack McCollough knows that he would not hurt a fly. All we can say at this point is that he was the victim of a vicious, violent, unprovoked assault and that the matter is in the hands of the authorities.”
A fellow party-goer said the exact same thing:
“Jack walked into the party and tried to order a drink, and then the next thing he knew, he got headbutted for no identifiable reason. Jack did nothing other than walk into a party. He did not bump into Brooke. It’s just puzzling.”
To make matters even worse, Shields is denying Sutherland’s heroic tale:
Her rep says, “Nothing happened to her. Jack did nothing inappropriate. It’s not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did.”
Sutherland is currently on probation for DUI and may have that revoked over the incident. He is due to make an appearance at the NYPD to receive a desk ticket and have an arraignment date set.
