'90s boy band crooner Nick Lachey landed himself in some pretty embarrassing waters in 2012, when an alleged argument with a couple of fans led to him being escorted out of a Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Diego Chargers match (via USA Today). For his part, the 98 Degrees member later went on a bizarre Twitter rant about the incident, writing, "For the record, i was not kicked out of the chargers game for excessive 'trash talking'. no, that honor belonged to the guy in front of me!" He added, "i simply don't appreciate someone turning around and putting their finger in my face. call me crazy, but that deserved a reaction."

Uh, what? The whole thing was almost as cringe as the time Lachey suggested Kim Kardashian had used him to gain her own celebrity. So, what exactly happened at the NFL game in question? According to TMZ, Bengals fan Lachey reportedly traded insults with a Chargers fan couple, but things supposedly turned physical after an offensive comment about a former Chargers player caused the wife to deliver the saltiest shade: "Well, he lasted longer than your boy band." Ouch. After allegedly calling the wife a "f**king b**ch," Lachey reportedly "lunged" at the husband, "grabbed him by the throat and shoved him to the ground." However, Lachey's rep continued to deny the reports, telling the gossip rag, "This was a verbal exchange between sports fans of opposing teams that went too far."
