Bouncers at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in Atlantic City were caught on camera beating up on two patrons and may face criminal charges. Pop the top to see the whole brawl on tape.

The scuffle took place in the wee hours of Saturday morning and happened after the victims were ejected out the club after being accused of grabbing female guests and jostling with staff. The victims Tyrell Durant, 26 and Leonard Clark, 25 who were arrested on the scene for disorderly conduct, say they only came to the club to have a good time and celebrate Leonard’s birthday.  Both men say they didn’t deserve to be beat up .  The 40/40 spokeswoman had no comment at this time about the incident.

  • Essence

    Sarcasm

  • Is Rihanna’s sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath banned?

    dude in the “light” shirt has a lawsuit. I HATE group behavior and the danger it poses. How many 40/40 bouncers needed to assault the guy? He wasn’t doing anything!

  • Sergio / Straight from Angola

    Who cares…….?? where is Nikki..?? i will ruin ur life…. expose you…. take a plane and get u there… im THE NIKKI´S HUNTER….. heheh ahahaha

  • 6 Figgaz

    Big boy handled himself the best he could, especially given that he was prolly faded…

  • KeepNit2Real

    THey all need to get arrested for this. It doesn’t take that many men to apprehend one or two guys….come one! It’s like New York Cops Gone Bad all over again!

    Jersey still close enuff….

  • Honey (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS…LOL)

    One of three things happened.

  • WhatAWorld

    Did the man have a gun or run out on $25,000 tab?Because if not then that was some straight gang tag-team BS.Stop hiring men that really want to be cops,cause you’ll be paying for their ego-trips every time.Jay-z has some crazy men around him!

  • WhatEVER

    All that these security guards have is brawn and numbers–that’s it. They have ZERO fighting skills!! They’d get killed in the MMA…

  • coming through

    I hope they sue jay-Z for every last dime..

    Hi MRS, Caramel Cat, JB!

    Hey Aunt Viv!

    No need to have 3 bouncers woopin’ on a man who has already been thrown out of the club….
    I like the way dude connected on one of them bouncers though.

  • holla

    i always tell the bouncers cause i party in my neighbourhood….u with ya co-workers now (fellow bouncers) but you aint going home with them are you. When ur off, imma be waiting with something for you.

  • Dionne

    He may have done something wrong but they didnt have to beat him like that after he wasnt fighting back.

  • Non Mulatto Proud Of It

    SUE JAY Z FAKE 3RD DEGREE MASON AZZ!!

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bouncer_Me_Too

    Man I was a bouncer for 4 years and trained bouncers. One thing you’re not supposed to do is engage in a fight outside of the doors(at least in Illinois). Still that was NOTHING! In the world of bouncing that was a kiddie scuffle. I agree with MEMPHODUDE…..they give bouncers a bad name, because that was WEAK! They shoulda dropped old boy in no more than 2 seconds..Real bouncer talk

  • darealwifey

    As long as black men in “authority” feel they are justified in treating other black men this way, the black community has not got a leg to stand on when we claim police brutality against our own.

    Whether in a police uniform or a gang uniform, this type of behavior is just uncivilized and animalistic. Maybe humans are not as evolved as we would like to think we are.

  • STOP THE VIOLENCE

    BOUNCERS NEED TO GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL AND SUED!

  • http://bossip.com This some Shhh….

    They was wrong for kicking ol dude on the ground. That cat that got knocked into the car deserved it. He shouldn’t have ran up on ol boy. He tried to sly way get a uppercut in while they were holding that dude at the end.

  • ARTOFWAR

    It looks to me like fella held his own, considering he was being manhandled by eight or ten goons.

    I am surprised that no one popped the trunk.

    It also looks like someones may be opening up their wallets real wide for this one…..Artofwar

  • chocolateduchess

    They should get straight sued with the quickness. They where all ready out of the club so. So it should have been the end of the it. His bouncy must not get any action…

  • it”s Me

    dowg got one really good, but at the end the of day he got his azz whipped.

  • it”s Me

    i am like the others I hope they sue Jay Z azz for everything.. Punk…

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    @Bouncer_Me_Too- In Pgh. bouncers no better than to do that, because they know what’s coming next. Real talk.

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    Test?

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    I used to bounce, and I can promise you, these guys are fat, slow and too big…Bouncer and Memphodude are right, it should never take more than 2 guys to escort one guy out….Ususally…LOL!!

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    The place I was at had off duty Sheriff’s Deputies and we could have Mag light flashlights and tasers too…If we threw you out, you were going to jail or the hospital…..

  • Lady Tee

    This looks like hired goons working a guy over. 40/40 should expect a lawsuit. For real though, this many bouncers would make me rethink entering the club. If you need this much “security”, then your block is too hot, and I don’t need to be there.

  • http://Bossip ibasweetgrl

    Can u say lawsuit!

  • Lady Tee

    @DayWalker – I’m used to the scenario that you describe. A few off duty sheriffs or police who escort your butt to jail…or the hospital. My cousin is a cop, and she does security in her off hours, so I don’t see a need for bouncers.

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    As for these 2 idiots, they won’t get anything if they sue….All the staff has to say is that they were asked to leave, and didn’t!!! I personally broke a guy’s jaw, and another guy named “Tiger” who was one of my boys who was a bouncer there too ended up breaking his neck(We both hit him at the same time…)…The guy tried to sue, but didn’t get jack, because he was asked to leave and didn’t……

  • http://Bossip.com clay

    That was some punk $hit! It took all of those bouncers to fight two guys? They all need to get fired, and the club should get sued! I do not agree with what they were doing inside the club, but the bouncers could have handled that $hit a little better!!!!!

  • Synic

    Looks like you’re wrong Daywalker, criminal charges have already been pressed… so much for nothing not happening to the bouncers! Yeah, I agree with just about everyone that it was uncalled for and I can only pray that if Jazzy decides to put a 40/40 in Atlanta that he comes correct. Fighting is so middle school, if your heart rate get that high in the A you might want to sit down. Cause a low brow will (not “can”) get you leaking. That goes for bouncers, police, military it don’t even matter. Those was just some oversived skid marks that never been through nothing cause if they had and at least assumed that one of them was strapped or had about 50 more with them they wouldn’t have took it there. Hell, the name of the club is 40/40, so what you think I’m bringing with me!?!?!

    Real talk!! They knew the job was dangerous when they took it!!! :lol:

    @ Synic:

    Looks like you can’t read and comprehend!! Tyrell Durant, 26 and Leonard Clark, 25 who were arrested on the scene for disorderly conduct, say they only came to the club to have a good time and celebrate Leonard’s birthday.

    So not only did they get their azz whupped, they got arrested too…Like I said before, no one is gonna say the bouncers were wrong….Try again!! LOL!!!

  • deesac

    I bet they wont play grab Azz no more Ha Ha!

  • deesac

    Tell you a little story couple years back my cousin was in the club and kept messing with this girl trying to take her home. She knew the bouncers they took him outside and knock his Azz out. He woke up bloody lip and empty pockets,what could he do just take the train back to the Projects, thats the way they do it in NYC.

  • Synic

    Really it don’t matter to me, but for the record the charges were later dropped on Leonard Clark and Tyrell Durant. So what, they spent a day in jail. And yeah we do cause problems for the outsiders who come in and try to take over but we smart about it. It’s obvious you never been because with your mentality you wouldn’t leave.

  • CubaLinda

    If they were molesting women in the club, then I would EXPECT that the complaintants would come forth as witnesses to corroborate the claims of the security staff…

    It does not look as though they were trying to subdue or apprehend the guys, it looks like they were just fighting them. Despite anything that went on inside the club, your job as bouncer is to protect the club goers not to engage in street brawls. someone could have been seriously injured or died (like AJ Atl Housewives!!….

    This is one of the reasons I hated the club scenes, bouncers are so arrogant and rude bc they feel like they have some authority… They are nothing but a bunch of glorified doormen!! I have seen them threaten, disrespect and fight with male and female partyers. Just ridiculous!!

    If those men did something criminal in the club they should have been properly detained and reported to the authorities. Unless they became violent there was no need for 9 men to hold and punch one man repeatedly. I hope they get shut down and sued… Find professional bouncers not thugs and I bet a few of them have criminal pasts… Punks!!

  • memchee

    uuuh, they need to go ahead and write that fellow his check like yesterday!

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    @ CubaLinda:

    Either way it goes, they got beat down, spent a day in jail and basically stomped!! They should have just left, but they had to be all big and bad!! So now that they got their azz kicked they wanna talk about suing!! Eff them!! They got what they deserved!!!!

    @Synic:

    Like I said, N*ggahs from Atlanta aren’t known for their intellect, so it doesn’t strike me as wierd that they didn’t press charges…I mean think about it….They would have had to go to court and waste time fooling with those idiots when they had better things to do….And on top of that, they can ban them from coming back to the club!!! All in all, it’s a win win situation for the bouncers…… :lol:

  • Ms.EJ

    @DAYWALKER- I hope all is well I’ve said hello to you on several posts….

    @CUBALINDA- I agree with your comment. I too looked at the clip more than once and the men did not appear to be refusing to leave the club. It seemed as soon as he defended himself and drop one of the fellow bouncers, the others in a gang pack mentality style retailiated against him.

  • Ms.EJ

    @DAYWALKER- Let me correct that, because I do not want it to seem that I follow anyone, LOL,but hello on different posts I chose to read and comment on where I interacted with others ;)

    Hi, hun!! :wink:

    I don’t care if you follow me… I make really good points most of the time! LOL!!!

  • Ms.EJ

    @DAYWALKER- Always make me laugh! Okay, I was just checking if all was well. Also, I read your comment on the man whom you and one of your relatives hit at the same time (double ouch!!! )and broke his neck (Lord Jesus!!)and he tried to sue. Did he become paralized? was he okay? (I’m sure you don’t care, but reading that shook me a little).

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    The whole thing is:

    If they got asked to leave, and decided to haul off and fight one of the bouncers, they should have known that everyone in that club working security who could assist was going to come help the guy…I mean think about it…If you were needing some help, and the guy you were working with didn’t come when you told him you got 2 pieced, would you be as apt to help him if the situation were reversed??? Well the same rule appiles here!! That guy asked to get beat down when he punched the guy…..And trust me, he will either not get let back in that club, or he’ll act like he has some sense next time…..That’s how “CLUB SECURITY” rolls…….

    ___________________________________________________

    The guy me and “Tiger” hit was a guy who was just at the club…We asked him to leave because he was caught smoking a spliff in the bathroom…He chose not to, so I tried to be cool and “escort” him to the door…He tried to swing, I punched him in the jaw, and “Tiger” elbowed him in the side of the neck….he ended up getting hit from 2 different angles at once, and suffered a broken jaw and a broken neck…He attempted to sue the club, and both of us, but lost when the witnesses verified our stories……And if you want a really good laugh, read what I wrote in the Chuck E. Cheese thread…..

  • Ms.EJ

    @DAYWALKER- I understand, but it does not take 7+ men to tackle and attack one man unless he was amphed up on some PCP that is different. We will agree to disagree on that ;) But you didn’t answer if the man got paralized from his neck (b/c neck and spinal injuries since they are connected can cause paralisis(sp))being broken I did get the rest of the information. I will read the Chuck E. Cheese thread too ;)

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    I agree that it doesn’t take that many people to get rid of one guy, but more often than not, if you fight one guy working security, you had best be ready to fight em’ all….As for the guy I busted up, he didn’t get payalyzed, but he was all jacked up!! The judge asked us where we were when we hit him and why we had to use force… After she heard that he was smoking a spliff, she ruled in our favor….

  • Daywalker The saints are 11-0, B*tches!! Tom Brady and Bellichick ain’t even got an excuse for that!!! LOL!!!)

    Payalyzed = paralyzed * (typo)

    I’m so over this foolishness, Black people love to fight when going to a clubs, Just looking at this tape each of these guys works for 40/40 club needs to be charge, and JayZ needs to fired them also,…I would not hired silly people like this to work for me,…God is not please with this behavior…They wanted to beat up someone, maybe they were bored did’nt have anything better to do, cause this just don’t make no sense…Thank God these bouncer do not carry guns, they just kill people for no reason and have no experience just big and silly looking….

  • CubaLinda

    @ Daywalker– I was not aware private security could use force if a person refused to cooperate, still I did not see evidence that these men were refusing to leave. When it comes down to it, a case will be made for the victims bc the images of them being brutalized is what can be seen in the film and not what the bouncers alleged.

    @ Ms. EJ– LMAO that you had to comeback with a explanation re: following Daywalker in posts, that was too cute!! Well now I am gonna be stalking yall now bc I think I am on here all alone…
