A member of the party rap group LMFAO was the supposed "goon" involved in a plane dust-up with former-and-likely-future presidential candidate Mitt Romney this week, TMZ has revealed.
Sky Blu, real name Skyler Gordy (Berry's nephew), disputes Romney's side of the story -- that he became "physically violent" toward the pol after being asked to raise his seat-back. According to the rapper, it was the Republican former Massachusetts governor that got aggressive with him first in the Monday melee.
Gordy claims Romney began yelling "Sir! Put your seat up!" repeatedly before laying his hands on him.
"I see him reach over and grab my shoulder, and I just react boom," Gordy said in a video confessional, making a gesture suggesting he swiped Romney's hand away from him.
"I didn't take it any further than that, I just told the man not to touch me."
Romney and LMFAO were on the same Air Canada flight (in the economy section) leaving Vancouver, where the Olympics are being held. According to Romney's spokesman, he asked the man sitting in front of him (Gordy) to move his seat up until the flight took off. Violence ensued and Gordy allegedly tried to strike Romney, who supposedly "did not retaliate."
Airport police were summoned and Gordy and his LMFAO band-mate/cousin Stefan Gordy were escorted off the plane.
In the video posted on TMZ, Gordy said that he and Romney had cooled off and agreed to let the incident go. But it was too late, since police had already arrived to take the rapper away to seek another flight. No arrests were made. Gordy called the whole thing "unfortunate" and said he believed Romney was probably a "nice guy."
On Wednesday, Romney decided against pressing charges against Gordy. A wise choice as the politician is busy on a book tour and just yesterday spoke at CPAC, a political convention for conservatives.
LMFAO are known for their party-time-excellent tracks 'Shots' and 'La La La.' Skyler Gordy is Motown founder Berry Gordy's nephew, while Stefan is the music legend's son.
Nothing like riding daddy's coattails to think you're above the law. Wish I was there! This sorry excuse of a clown would have been tossed out the frickin door with his little clown umbrella. What a messed up idiot!
I knew the Republican toilet film started. I'm sure he took one look at Berry Gordy's nephew and felt entitled to push the kid around, because he's black and Romney thinks he's some sort of high Mucky Muck in the Senate. And look who gets thrown off the plane. Everybody's scared of Romney, because he's a rich white cat so they expell off the plane. This Romney guy is a lying sack of crap. He's the worst our political system has to offer. I'm sure Jim Crow reigns supreme in his elitist White Supremacist heart. The man isn't worth the skin he's wrapped in. Him and all the other White Right Wing Bible Pounding Hypocritical Republican Pig Dogs.
Careful how much crap you spout off with. You might be mistaken for some dumb porchmonkey who thinks the world owes him something and thinks he's better than everyone else for the cotton his ancestors had to pick.
Yeah, Mitt is known to be a manhandler & S.Gordy for his selfless service.
I lived in the middle of Hollywood for 15 years or so & it was always a celebrity's offspring or relatives behaving like privileged spoiled brats - It's what they do in lieu of having fulltime jobs...
It shouldn't matter who's famous last name you carry around with you in life, follow the friggin' rules. It's the person behind the reclined seat who is put in danger if there is an emergency, not the 'clown' in the seat. If the flight attendant missed it, I would have said something, too!
Must have been his first time on a plane the poor little kid. First off, you have to put your seat up until the plane is in the air and leveleed off. Second, you shouln't take swings at people when they simply becuase they had the audacity to 'put their hands you'. That's a pretty bug head for such a little guy!! Good luck on growing up big and strong!!
Romney has about as much chance of being the President as Gordy receiving song of the century. Next time Mitt let the airline attendants do their job unless you are thinking of a job change.

I believe Shabazz's analysis is truly what happened. After all, usually clowns scare me.
And I believe that you two do not recognize when someone like Shabazz is being sarcastic.
This "rapper " looks like a punk , i wish Romney knocked his ass out!

Just wanted to say politicians dont have spines . There are only 2 movable parts on a politician , The head and the anus and they are interchangable.
