Johnny Manziel’s entourage was involved in a brawl early Saturday morning, according to the Cleveland Scene.

The paper reports the fight, involving 20 men and two security guards, started when diehard Browns fan Chris Gonos approached Manziel and his crew outside The 9, a high-end apartment complex.

According to the police report, the 33-year-old told Manziel, “I’m the biggest Browns fan ever, I love you, I want to give you a hug.”

When he stepped in to get the hug, a member of Manziel’s crew punched him in the face. The ensuing brawl also led to a security guard getting injured. Gonos was left with a “swollen lip, right eye swollen, a red face,” according to the report.

Manziel’s agent, Erik Burkhardt, made a firm denial of wrongdoing on Manziel’s behalf.

“Johnny and his roommate had been out to dinner earlier in the evening with Johnny’s mother, who is staying with him this week. There was no entourage,” the agent’s statement said. “Johnny and his roommate were trying to get on the apartment elevator at his home when they were accosted by a very aggressive man and his associates. It was an unfortunate situation and he immediately let Ray Farmer and the team know what happened.”

That conflicted with the further details Gonos — who pleaded guilty to tax evasion in 2013 — offered in his account of the melee.

“My brother saw what was going on and he ran he tackled Johhny Manziel — I guess he got the sack and the fumble,” Gonos told the Scene. “He tackled him, yeah, I’m talking about he speared him all the way to the back wall. I was cornered; I was by myself and Johnny Manziel and like three or four of his buddies were all coming at me. (My brother) just came to help me out, and I guess Johnny sucker punched him while the security guard was holding him. It should be all on video.

“I know somebody else in the group smashed Johnny right in the face. Smashed him, smashed him. I watched the whole game to see if we could spot him on the sidelines.”

Browns GM Ray Farmer issued this statement regarding the lightning-rod QB: “We are aware of the incident and are in the process of gathering additional information in order to gain a complete understanding of what occurred. Nonetheless, the time of the incident is concerning to us. … We have addressed this appropriately with the player and will have no further comment at this time.”

Kenny Didier, the general manager of the apartment complex, declined comment to the Scene.
