Spike Lee went off on a fan who reportedly asked the famed director to profanely criticize Palestine for a selfie in a Yankee Stadium dining area on Wednesday, the New York Post reported.
Video of the confrontation before the Yankees eliminated the Boston Red Sox in a wild-card series shows Lee having to be restrained by a stadium staffer as he shouts at the person.

“Why’d you come over to me?!” the Oscar winner appeared to yell in the Legends Suite.
Someone with a credential then motioned for the person to leave. “You gotta go, you gotta go.”
Sports talk show host Andy Slater, who shared a clip of the incident, wrote on X that the fan was filming Lee while he ate and then asked the “Do The Right Thing” filmmaker “about Palestine.”

The Post reported that Lee was in a jovial mood before the confrontation, taking selfies with admirers and even leaving seats open for those who wanted to join him.
HuffPost has reached out to the Yankees and Lee for comment.
Lee went viral for wearing a Palestinian flag accessory during the NBA All-Star Game Weekend in February.
“The Clothes I Wore are Symbols of My Concern For The Palestinian Children and Civilians, And My Utmost Belief In Human Dignity For All Humankind,” he explained later on Instagram. “What I Wore Was Not Intended As A Gesture Of Hostility To Jewish People Or To Support Violence Against Anyone, Nor Was It Intended As A Comment On The Significance Of Deni Being An All-Star.”
