On Saturday, "Macaroni Tony" was the victim of an on-camera beatdown at the hands of pair of young ladies and their father. Since then, the incident has gone viral, and it has become a highly-debated topic regarding who started the scuffle and why. In the video above, Macaroni Tony (73) indicated that all he did was "wave his feather" at his young assailants before they misinterpreted his actions and attacked him. However, in a recent interview with Fox Houston, one of the young ladies involved named, Karinesha Jackson (18), said that Macaroni Tony attempted to fondle her with his signature feature before turning around and wiggling his tongue at her and her younger sister (13). According to Karinesha, that's when the girls and their father began to beat Tony up. (you can watch Karinesha's interview here).
In response to Karinesha's interview, Macaroni Tony took to Instagram and slammed Isiah Carey at Fox Houston for what he deemed "bad journalism." Isiah reacted with an invitation to his show in order to hear Macaroni's side of the story.
This matter is far from over, Macaroni Tony has yet to have been interviewed by Fox Houston, and he has stated that he will be taking his assailants to court. In the meantime, scroll up and press play to hear his most recent account of the incident.

On Sunday night, a man known throughout Houston, Texas, as "Macaroni Tony," was viciously beaten down by a group of young women at the Houston Galleria on Westheimer Road and Post Oak Boulevard. Shortly after the on-camera incident went viral, an outpouring of sympathy ensued for the 73-year-old victim. However, supporters of the young women involved have offered pushback by alleging that the local celebrity touched one of the ladies inappropriately (you can view a screenshot here). Macaroni Tony has denied those claims.
Details about the events leading up to the attack remain scarce; what is certain is that an elderly man was beaten up. The incident has caused some fans to suggest that "Macaroni Tony" should lawyer up and file a lawsuit against the assailants and the mall's security for failing to keep him safe.
