Corey Holcomb swears he got sucker punched by a female comedian who’s hell-bent on taking him down, physically and financially … so he’s seeking court-ordered protection.
Corey says the comic-on-comic beef started back in December outside the Hollywood Improv … when Cristina Payne put hands on him as his back was turned to her. In the docs, filed Monday in L.A. Superior Court, Corey also claims she hurled a bunch of insults and obscenities worthy of a celebrity roast.
Among the comments Cristina allegedly made — “Your mother is a bitch,” and “Your d*** ain’t s***. That’s why your wrist got broke.” For the record, Corey says his wrist injury was from skateboarding … not masturbation.
Anyhow, CH claims Cristina’s BF also jumped into the fray to, as Corey put it, “play hero.”
Now, in his request for a restraining order against Cristina, Corey also claims she provided TMZ with a video that only shows part of their altercation … excluding her aggression. While it’s true TMZ broke the story about Cristina’s allegation Corey struck her that night, we were never given, nor did we post, a video of their fight.
Clearly, they have wildly different views of what went down. A judge denied Corey’s request for an immediate TRO, but scheduled a hearing for Tuesday, when they’ll both be able to share their versions … and the judge will decide which comedian gets the last laugh.
