Ted Anastasiou, a Travis’ representative said that Travis was at Nebula to do a surprise DJ set. They claim that the whole incident was overexaggerated or a potential cash grab. He said that their team is actively coordinating with law enforcement to get the whole thing resolved.
“While this is clearly a misunderstanding being blown out of proportion by clickbait and misinformation, we are actively working with the venue and law enforcement to resolve and set the record straight. We are confident our client will be cleared of any wrongdoing,” said Mitchell Schuster, Travis’ attorney.
A sound engineer at Nebula, a club on 41st Street reportedly explained the altercation to law enforcement, Scott punched him in the left of his face and he did not have visible injuries. Travis caused approximately $12,000 of damage to a speaker and video screen.
