It looks like Blake Griffin is sick of everybody’s sh*t because he’s been turning up a lot lately! Griffin is now accused of bitch-slapping a 39-year-old man inside a nightclub in Vegas this weekend.

According to TMZ Sports a man named Daniel says he was partying at Tao nightclub in the Venetian in the early hours of October 19th when he tried to take a cell phone pic of the crowd.
According to a statement Daniel gave to Tao security, the man says Blake Griffin (who was partying at the club with his L.A. Clippers teammates) was bothered by the flash of the camera — and “grabbed my phone with one hand.”
Daniel says he didn’t let go of the phone because his ID and credit card were attached to it — so Blake grabbed his neck and began to squeeze while demanding Daniel give up his phone “or else.”
According to the statement, the two eventually separated after Blake took the phone — and when Daniel tried to ask for it back, Blake struck again … grabbing his neck and squeezing for a second time.
Daniel says when security finally got to the scene — Blake told them, “Get him the f**k out of this club.”
Daniel says Blake then “slapped me in the right side of my face.”
After he left the club, Daniel filed a battery report with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Daniel says cops came to his hotel the next day and spoke with him for about an hour.
