It’s a little tender, but I don’t have any bruising and it didn’t require medical assistance,” and “In 23 years, I haven’t been assaulted and punched in the chops, particularly by the talent’s dad,” he added, McDonald stated there had been no cause for violence. “We didn’t go rushing down the jetty. We didn’t go rushing to the back of the boat. We waited for her to come up. Kept it very civil,” he said. “But no, they had to be (expletives) and put the umbrellas up and umbrellas over her and then shove the umbrellas into our faces and then make out that we’re the ones making contact with them,” he said.

“There were about four or five security there and at one point, one of the American security started shoving his umbrella into me and my camera, and then Taylor got in her car,” McDonald told the AP. In addition to that, “Someone else came running at me and punched me in the left side of my face. Initially, I thought it was an Australian security who was trying to be the hero of the moment in front of the Americans, but as it turned out it was her father,”
