The controversial scuffle between Orlando Bloom, 37, and Justin Bieber, 20, has evolved into an interminable chain of events.
Although details of the July 29 tussle remain elusive, the account of a purported eyewitness gave the public a glimpse of what had transpired in a restaurant in Ibiza.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, onlooker Anastasia Skolkova provided her version of events. "I went there with friends for dinner. We were on the table next to Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio. There was also Lindsay Lohan, Puff Daddy, and Erick Morillo at the restaurant," she described.
"When Orlando punched Bieber, everyone started clapping," Skolkova disclosed. "Lindsay was laughing. It was amazing. The whole table he and DiCaprio were on were clapping. Afterwards, I don't know if people were congratulating Orlando or trying to calm him down," she added.
The former journalist from Spain posted the video of the fight on her Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Despite the brawl having been broken up swiftly, however, Bieber refused to bring the issue to an end.
Immediately following the fray, the singer posted a provocative picture of Mirande Kerr, Bloom's ex-wife, on his Instagram account. However, Bieber deleted the said photo and posted a picture of Bloom crying instead. The Instagram post was then simply captioned with a crown icon.
At present, fans are not the only ones taking sides. With the onset of Team Bloom and Team Bieber, even well-known Hollywood celebrities are chipping in this brawl blown out of epic proportions.
Joining the corner of the famed Lord of the Rings star are James Franco, Alyssa Milano, Dominic Monaghan, Candice Accola, and Leonardo Di Caprio.
In July 30, Franco openly admitted his support for Bloom in an interview with Stephen Colbert in the US satire show The Colbert Report.
When asked by the host to weigh in on the fight, the Child of God actor showed no hesitation in backing up his friend.
"I'm Team Bloom, I gotta say," James promptly replied.
Singer-actress Alyssa Milano also expressed her support for Bloom using the hashtag #TeamOrlando on her social media account.
Another actor, Stephen Amell, from the hit TV show The Arrow applauded Bloom on Twitter.
"Orlando Bloom didn't try to punch Bieber. It looks like he tried to flick him in the head. That's way, WAY better," he shared to his followers.
Even Vampire Diaries star Candice Accola shared her approval of Bloom's actions.
"I'm glad Orlando Bloom smashed that weiner Justin Bieber," she posted in her Tweeter account.
Unsurprisingly, Dominic Monaghan, commended his Lord of the Rings co-star.
Monaghan tweeted, "Orlando has won infinite lad points after punching Justin Bieber last night in Ibiza For the shire!"
On the other hand, Disney star and the singer's longtime friend Cody Simpson sided with Bieber. In an interview in Australia's The Morning Show, Simpson quickly came to the defense of his pal.
"Obviously we're all young and he gets himself into some stuff sometimes," Cody said. "He's a person I'd go to for everything. He's like a big brother. He has the world in his hands as he does a lot of good as well. I've got all good things to say."
No official comments regarding the incident were given by either Bloom or Bieber.
