Remember that viral video of four women getting into an absolute brawl on a Vegas casino floor? Well, we’ve just got some more details on what caused the incident, and shockingly it is all LeBron James’ fault.
Preface
Okay, I’m aware most of you have no idea what I’m talking about. For a full recap of the fight, you can click here to read my previous analysis of the bout. However, in a shortened version, about two weeks ago a video went viral of four women trying to beat the living crap out of each other in the middle of the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. Here are a few angles of the fight.

Okay, now onto the new information we’ve learned.
Who was in the fight?
While the brawl did include four women, it was actually a 2-v-2 matchup. The fight broke out over a long-brewing feud between two women, each of whom had a friend to help throw some haymakers. The two women involved could not be more different.
First up, we have Erin Harris.
Harris is 42 years old and works as the chief marketing officer at LeBron James’ tequila brand Lobos 1707. She is married to Mike Harris, 51, who lives a lavish lifestyle as the CEO of a luxury athletic apparel company.
Our other competitor is Danielle Pertusiello.
If her photo didn’t already give it away, clearly Pertusiello is an OnlyFans model. The 24-year-old model is unmarried and charges a whopping $20/month for her subscription. That is all the information I have on her.
Why did the fight break out?
The cause of the fight goes back about four months. Harris suspected her husband Mike of cheating on her, leading her to hire a private investigator. After snooping around a bit, the PI came back with evidence that Mike and Pertusiello had been having an affair.
While Mike originally denied the affair, Harris was somehow able to get on the phone with Pertusiello. In an aggravated phone call, Harris went off on Pertusiello to which the OF model responded, “if it’s not going to be me, it’s going to be someone else.” Catty, I know.
Anyway, fast forward to two weeks ago. Both Harris and Pertusiello are in the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. They cross paths, which leads to Harris confronting Perusiello in public for the first time. Now, this is where we get some controversy.
According to Pertusiello, Harris was “the aggressor” who “charged” at her upon recognizing the model. However, Las Vegas Police reported that the altercation began with Harris purely tapping Pertusiello on the shoulder.
Despite how it all started, we all know how it ended. Cops say that “all four females start[ed] throwing punches at each other” almost immediately. While the brawl did go on for some time, thankfully random nearby dudes helped to separate the lady fighters.
So why is this LeBron’s fault?
That’s simple, actually. LeBron sent Harris to Vegas at the time in order to promote Lobos 1707 during the NBA’s summer league. If LeBron hadn’t done so, there would have been no fight. So, yeah King James, this one’s on you.
Finally, who is in the right?
See, this is a tricky question. Of course, any woman who takes their clothes off for money and then has the audacity to call themselves a model is unlikeable, and for that alone I want to say she is at fault. Additionally, she did sleep with Harris’ husband. Two not so good things. However, I do believe that Harris should be more upset at her husband than she seems. I mean for god’s sake, she still calls him her husband. I get he’s rich, but c’mon you can’t just blame the other woman. That doesn’t seem very “feminist” of you.
So, who is at fault? I’m gonna stick with my guns and say the cheating sex worker. That said, I think Harris needs to take a good, hard look in the mirror and figure out her priorities. First, leave your husband and say the pre-nup you signed was false. If that doesn’t work, still leave him and then ask LeBron for a raise. It’s freaking LeBron. We all know he can afford it.
