Move over, Cobra Kai; there’s a new drama in town, and it’s not just on-screen! Martin Kove, best known for his ruthless portrayal of John Kreese, was reportedly removed from a fan convention after an incident that’s probably more suited for a soap opera than a celebrity meetup. Kove, who’s 78 and still packing a punch, allegedly took a welcoming hello from co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim and turned it into an unwelcome bite—yes, you heard that right.
According to reports, Kove bit Hannah-Kim’s arm hard enough to nearly draw blood. Ouch! And if that wasn’t bizarre enough, he followed up his chomp by giving her a kiss on the same arm, which, let’s be honest, sounds awkward at best. It’s a scene that leaves you wondering if Kove’s martial arts training needs a serious reboot when it comes to handling social interactions. Kelly, meet Kove, the next contestant on “What Not to Do at a Convention.”
While the authorities declined to press charges, Hannah-Kim’s husband, Sebastian Roché, confronted Kove about the encounter, which apparently made Kove even more furious. He claimed he bit her “for fun,” which makes we wonder—is that how all the best friendships start? On a serious note, it raises questions about where the line is drawn between playful and problematic behavior, especially in a fan setting. So, what do you think: Is this just an unfortunate misunderstanding, or should celebrities be held to a higher standard at public events?
