Burnett's wife, Roma Downey, countered that claim with a tweet of her hand and said it got bruised when the actor ambushed her and her husband.

Arnold fired back, tweeting, "Bullshit. You lie your crazy husband attacked me you psycho. I'm filing police report & suing you for defamation."

The show Roma Downey was referring to is Viceland's "The Hunt for the Trump Tapes." According to the show's website, one of the episodes focuses on outtakes from The Apprentice which Arnold says show Donald Trump making "lewd and racist remarks."

"Former employees of The Apprentice claim that Trump made lewd and racist remarks on the set of the show. There must be outtakes capturing these moments on tape," the website states.

Arnold tweeted, "Yes Roma, saving my country is worth it."

He added, "Brutal bruise. Should've gone to a dr last wk when you hurt it."

Arnold implied that actor Kevin Bacon could back up his version of the events.

"Kevin Bacon is a solid reliable brawl witness," Arnold tweeted.

Arnold also accused Roma Downey of knocking film director Bryan Fogel's phone out of this hand and said Fogel "has tape."

"Roma knocked Bryan Fogel's phone out of his hand after Mark Burnett chocked me. Bryan came with me. He won the Oscar this year for his amazing documentary Icarus. He has tape," Arnold tweeted.

Actress Alyson Hannigan said she saw the fight and thought it was a joke until security got involved -- along with 'Survivor' host Jeff Probst.

"Jeff Probst tried to break it up…CRAZY!!!" Hannigan tweeted.

Comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted a photo selfie with Arnold after the alleged incident.

The LAPD says they are not investigating any reports of violence involving Arnold or Burnett.
