The All The Smoke podcast host also reportedly filed for a temporary restraining order, and in court documents, he detailed what happened.

Matt said Patterson “shoved me, and I was forced to push him off of me.” He accused Patterson of being "jealous of my relationship with his ex-wife."

“I did not want the altercation to physically escalate further, and out of frustration with him seeking me out and his unrelenting repeated harassment I spit in his direction in disgust,” Barnes said.
