This altercation apparently happened in June of 2021 inside a 24 Hour Fitness Center in California.
Andrew Cortez, who is suing McGinest, said that McGinest punched him in the face after McGinest overheard an exchange of Cortez telling someone that he wasn’t done with the weight.
This has fans a bit troubled.
If this is true NFL Network needs to fire him immediately https://t.co/lVEdng9qV6

This is the second time that McGinest has been sued this year. Someone else sued him back in March after he was allegedly punched by McGinest in a lounge this past December.
