The co-hosts of a reality TV show captured video as a man punched and kicked their car during an apparent road rage incident in Hollywood.
Tuesday, March 31, 2026 4:53AMA violent case of road rage was caught on video in the heart of Hollywood over the weekend, and now, the two reality TV stars who were targeted are sharing their story. Patrik Simpson and Pol' Atteu are fashion experts who co-host the show "Gown and Out Beverly Hills" and the "Undressed" podcast.
Now, they're speaking about what happened to them on Sunday in hopes that their attacker will be caught. The incident happened at Melrose Avenue and Vine Street. The couple said the driver of a Toyota 4Runner blocked their vehicle at the intersection before getting out of his vehicle."He gave me this death glare, like, literally, I thought he was going to kill us," Simpson, who recorded the video, said. The reality stars say the violent interaction came without warning as they sat at the intersection around 9:20 a.m. "Drove on the wrong side of the road, pulled in front of us diagonal, and trapped our car," Simpson recalled. "We couldn't go left or right. We couldn't go forward. We did not know what was going on." "Lock the door. Lock the door. Call the police!" Simpson exclaims in the video as the man is seen punching and kicking their driver's side window and door. "I thought, 'If this man is going back to the car, he's going to get something... I'm dead. I'm literally... dead.' This is that moment where I'm faced with that fear of, 'I'm just going to die here. This is it,'" Atteu, who was driving at the time, said."He punched the window... blood on the car. His hand was bleeding. That's how hard he hit the car," Simpson said. The couple followed the escaping assailant for several miles, against the advice of a 911 dispatcher who told them not to follow the driver. "I wanted his license plate because if we did not have the license plate, we would not be able to find this man, so we can make him be accountable," Simpson said."It's got to be mistaken identity, because I don't know who this person is. I don't know where this person came from," Simpson said. "It just didn't make sense, like, 9:20 in the morning, and when I'm looking in through the window, as much as I could see, there was someone in the passenger seat holding a baby," Atteu said. Now, still shaken by the violent punch and kick to their car, the design stars are desperate to hold the man accountable. "This guy has so much rage in him. He doesn't care who he is doing this to, why he's doing it," Simpson said.
