Actor Tom Arnold and "Apprentice" producer Mark Burnett reportedly got into a physical confrontation at a Hollywood fundraiser Sunday night, with Arnold claiming Burnett tried to choke him and Burnett's wife posting a photo of a bruise she says she received during the altercation.

The skirmish occurred at "The Sunday’s Evening Before Emmy party," according to social media posts, an annual event that raises money for the Motion Picture Television Fund, as both men were entering the event.

After Sunday night's incident, Arnold took to Twitter to accuse Burnett of going "apeshit" on him before running away.

Burnett's wife, Roma Downey, accused Arnold of ambushing the couple to drum up publicity for his new program while injuring her in the process.

"Got this bruise tonight when Tom Arnold tried to ambush my husband Mark and me at a charity event. Is your TV show worth it Tom? Please stop," Downey wrote early Monday morning.

Burnett, 58, who serves as chairman of MGM Television, has maintained when asked that the studio that owned "The Apprentice" does not have a legal right to release outtakes from the program.
