YouTubeTrue badass that he is, Samuel L Jackson got into a Twitter fight when one of his fans called him out for being a ‘complete dick’.
Apparently – as any fan would when given the opportunity – A radio DJ called Fitz branded the actor a ‘complete dick’ and an ‘arrogant punk’ after his request for a photo op was met with a ‘Fuck you’ from the actor.
Calling him out, Fitz tweeted:
That moment when you meet one of your favorite actors & they are a COMPLETE DI??!!!!!!!!! What an arrogant PUNK! Right @SamuelLJackson ????

However, Jackson remembered the incident a little differently, and replied:
I refused the photo politely @FollowFITZ then you spazzed out! Learn to say Please & Fuck You! Thanks for the Whitney snitch!!

Fitz tried to defend himself:
@SamuelLJackson SPAZZED OUT? You are forgetting we had people with us. If telling you I’m a Huge Fan is spazzing out then you got me.
— THE FITZ (@FollowFITZ) April 17, 2016
But Jackson wasn’t done yet, and claimed he refused to pose because Fitz criticised his films:
I said, thanks but no @FollowFITZ, you said Aww C’mon, I’m a big fan, me, sorry, you, I watch all your movies but not anymore!
— Samuel L. Jackson (@SamuelLJackson) April 17, 2016
Now @FollowFITZ, do you see Please anywhere in that exchange? You saw it your way, I see it mine. Stop whining, it’s over!

Fitz later explained his side of the story in a live Facebook broadcast, saying:
I just had a big letdown of my life. There was no altercation. There was no situation.
To be fair though, there actually doesn’t seem to be too much bad blood bewteen the pair, as Fitz admitted:
If you’re going to be told ‘F you’ on Twitter by anybody, it’s awesome if it’s done by Samuel L. Jackson.
But Jackson obviously got in the last word:
You’re right @FollowFITZ, I watched. There’s a lot of folks that share your experience w/ me & tons of others just the opposite! Still a Fan

In the end, Jackson conceded that Fitz had a point – but if I ever spot the big guy in the street I’ll definitely think twice about asking for a photo…
