Midgets 1; Scottie Pippen 0
Nothing like former childhood idols of mine getting into mischief. When Dennis Rodman skips out on a bill, or Michael Jordan is seen with some beautiful 25 year old girl, I’m not surprised. This story is very very strange though. Apparently Scottie Pippen was involved in some sort of a film with little people. Well little did Scottie know he was going to be surprise attacked, which led to him surprise attacking us with this bizarre press release:
“Given the recent controversy surrounding Gary Coleman, the fact that I’ve been repeatedly asked questions about my small part in the movie ‘Midgets vs. Mascots,’ and a related video posted online which shows me being assaulted by a group of Little People, I want to clear up any misunderstandings.
“In 2008, I agreed to play a cameo role in a movie titled ‘A Tribute to Big Red’ (now titled ‘Midgets vs. Mascots’). My role was scripted, and the first two scenes went off without any problems. During the third scene, I was told that four Little People, along with actor Gary Coleman, were going to become angry with something I said and storm off as the scene ends. Instead, they basically attacked me, with Gary Coleman apparently climbing on a chair behind me to hit me over the head with a phone (twice).
“A short fight ensued before I heard the film’s director yell ‘cut.’ As I recall, some of the Little People were laughing as the director explained that the scene was ‘sort of like an episode of the TV show Punk’d.’ At that point, I left quickly without a clear understanding of what was going on.
“As for the Little Person who claims he was injured in the attack, I really don’t think I caused the injury or can be held to blame. To the best of my knowledge, there is no action being taken against me, nor am I pursuing any action. For the record, I have never seen the movie and, in hindsight, wish I’d not been involved with it. I simply wanted to make clear my role and position as I understand the movie is coming out soon. I will not be answering any further questions regarding the film.”
Oh and that first part about Gary Coleman? He is upset because the movie has nude footage of him that he was unaware of. Usually I would wait until Monday to post this, but it was just too good to wait. You didn’t think that was the end of the post did you? Here’s the video footage of Scottie being attacked by midgets. Enjoy!
