Snipes claims that after finding out about a death in the family, he got up to leave the restaurant and accidentally knocked over another man’s drink.

“A table near us audibly started making pretty gross comments about the two of us like, ‘White f—-ts, spilling drinks,'” said Snipes. “I don’t let anyone talk to me like that. I went over there and asked, ‘What did you say about us?'”

One of the attackers then allegedly stood up and began kicking Snipes in the face and back, managing to almost knock out one of his teeth.

“But as he [his boyfriend] tried to get me away, that’s when the other dude hits him with the chair,” added Snipes.
