Miles Teller Clarifies Hawaii Attack, Actor Says He Was Trapped In Bathroom And 'Jumped' By 2 Random Men
May 30 2021, Published 12:20 a.m. ET
Miles Teller and his wife are clarifying the attack he suffered in Hawaii earlier this week.
"Miles was jumped by 2 men we have never met after they trapped him in the bathroom," 28-year-old Keleigh Sperry Teller wrote in an Instagram Story that actress Shailene Woodley reposted. "It seems these same men have done this to many people."
After thanking the people of Maui who helped them deal with the altercation and its aftermath, Keleigh added, "This is now a criminal investigation."
As for Miles, the 34-year-old actor responded to a tweet accompanied by a WWE clip mocking the incident by writing, "I got jumped by two guys in a bathroom. Never met them before in my life but ya cool wrestling segue bud."
It was initially reported by TMZ that Teller was punched in the face by a supposed wedding planner who allegedly claimed the actor owed him $60,000 in unpaid services from the couple's Maui wedding back in 2019.
But Keleigh made sure to note that "the story being reported about Miles being punched in the face by @TMZ over 'money' is completely false."
The Tellers did not elaborate further, though it was previously reported that the couple was eating dinner at Monkeypod Kitchen in Maui on Wednesday around 7:30 PM local time when the incident occurred.
It was previously reported that cops confirmed the altercation had taken place, saying no one had been arrested but that they were still investigating.
Reps for Teller never responded to RadarOnline.com's request for comment.
While on their Hawaiian vacation, Miles and Keleigh have been spending some time with fellow couple Shailene Woodley, 29, and Aaron Rogers, 37, who announced their engagement in February of this year. Teller and Woodley were co-stars in Divergent and The Spectacular Now.
Keleigh has been documenting the group's picturesque double-date adventures, including sunset hikes to pristine waterfalls.
