Jesse Metcalfe was talking with Taryn Manning and her friend, then a few minutes later the friend suddenly went right past security and punched Jesse HARD, and knocked him to the ground. It all happened outside Boulevard 3 nightclub last night. Jesse was stunned, and security restrained him as he tried to go after the guy who punched him. File charges Jesse. That guy shouldn’t get away with something like that.

Jesse Metcalfe was leaving London nightclub Studio Valbonne on Saturday night when he reportedly attacked paparazzi Rowan Lawrence, leaving him with a bloody nose. Jesse now faces assault charges for punching the paparazzi.

Lawrence said, "He was coming out of the club and walking towards his taxi. But he kept walking past the vehicle. I was walking backwards away from him and he kept walking towards me. He then raised his fist and punched me in the face."

Lawrence reported the incident to Charing Cross police station and has asked for criminal charges to be brought against Metcalfe.

Jesse spent the rest of the night watching girlfriend Nadine Coyle’s band Girls Aloud play at a World AIDS Day event at G-A-Y.

Jesse Metcalfe and Nadine Coyle were in London’s Astoria for celebrating 15 years of G.A.Y. Jesse got a special award, but the chatter was less about Jesse coming out, and more about Girls Aloud singer Nadine and Jesse back together.
