Jeremy Clarkson Punching of Top Gear Producer: New Details have Surfaced
Many of us know the story of Jeremy Clarkson punching Top Gear Producer, Oisin Tymon over a late-night dinner, which led to Clarkson being dropped from Top Gear forever.

Couple that with it being a late night and calling Tymon a “Lazy, Irish *****,” and you have the recipe for a bloody lipped producer and the end of the greatest automotive program in television history.
As most of you know, Clarkson later apologized:
and paid Tymon 100,000 to help BBC avoid any further legal embarrassments.
