A bizarre scene unfolded in Hollywood Thursday night involving an angry fan and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce after the former NFL player apparently refused to sign an autograph.
On Thursday night after filming an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Kelce was verbally attacked by an angry man over Kelce's decision not to sign autographs to people on the other side of the fence. The man uttered a profane rant.

“I don't care. It's a sign. It's an attitude,” a man can be heard shouting.
Kelce, who remained calm as he heard the screams, tried to explain his reasoning as he tried to get into his car.
“I have a habit of not signing people who follow my destination,” Kelce said.
The man denied following Kelce, adding that he regularly gets autographs from people filming there.
