Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey and his brother Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey were scheduled to host Cameo Nightclub in Miami last night. According to a man who goes by the name Ricky Vasquez, the two brothers and bouncers at the club beat him up because he’s gay.
IRickyVasquez took to his Twitter and Instagram accounts to describe the incident.

“I didn’t know that stuff like this actually fucking happens to people,” he says in one video. “All I can remember is standing in a crowded club and this big guy keeps hitting me in my back, I look at him and I’m like, OK, he’s obviously turned up. And he just keeps hitting me. I ignore it. I keep ignoring the guy — he’s calling me a faggot. I realize that there’s two of the guys. Now they’re both in my face. The next thing I know, Honey tries to break it up. One of them punches Honey in the face, the other one punches me or the same one, I don’t know. Security comes.”
The woman whom he calls “Honey” also took to social media saying, “Went inside @Cameomia 10 minutes just to be punched in my face by Marquise [sic] Pouncey for trying to stop him and his brother mike from beating the shit out of my friend @irickyvasquez. Filed a report even though the Police said nothing probably will be done about this situation. These athletes get on all these fuckin drugs and act an ass knowing they will be protected by these clubs because of how much money they spend in their clubs but I’m not gonna let this shit rest. I’m a female and I won’t Stand for no man putting their hands on me.”
According to Miami Beach Police, however, no reports have been filed.
“Usually, if there’s an incident involving a celebrity, there’s a special incident report and I haven’t seen or heard anything. I’m sure I would have,” Miami Beach Police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez tells New Times.
“I would tell the victim, they need to file a police report and come forth, otherwise it’s just speculation and we can’t disparage someone’s name just because they say so,” Hernandez says. “And what she says about what the police told her has to be absolutely false. I think even Justin Bieber can attest — we don’t give anyone special treatment here, it’s just a matter of her actually coming forward and filing a report.”
