The clash between Ziering and the cyclists erupted when they apparently carelessly collided with his pricey $100,000 Mercedes GLE SUV on Hollywood Boulevard. Video footage captured the harrowing scene as Ziering confronted the bikers, only to be pummeled by at least four of them. In the heat of the moment, Ziering fought back before seeking refuge across the street, having feared for the safety of his 12-year-old daughter, Mia, who was caught up in the chaos within the vehicle. The bikers left the SUV in shambles with shattered windows and extensive damage.

Expressing his dismay over the ordeal, Ziering took to social media to share his disturbing encounter, denouncing the “growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace.” He called out the rampant hooliganism and implored for more robust law enforcement responses to such lawlessness, voicing his disapproval of the authorities’ inadequate reaction to the unruly behavior.
In solidarity, Sabato sounded off on the dire state of affairs in the Golden State, vowing, “That would it never happened here in Florida, especially with my .45 on me.” Citing the incident as unthinkable in Florida, he extended his support to Ziering, condemning the attackers and extending well-wishes for his recovery. Sabato is notorious for his vocal opposition to California’s left-leaning policies, having even mounted a campaign for Congress in the state’s 26th District. A staunch advocate for former President Donald Trump, he has tirelessly criticized the radical politics of California and Hollywood, ultimately relocating to Florida in pursuit of a more conservative and safety-minded environment.
