*Samuel L Jackson allegedly had a spat with his wife LaTanya Richardson at an event in New York this week.
The Jacksons were being honored at the Theatre Communications Group gala on Monday night when Samuel reportedly left before they accepted the award.
A source told Page Six: “They apparently were in a fight when they arrived. They posed for pictures together and then the fight [went on].”
LaTanya reportedly covered up for her hubby by claiming the reason for his early departure was due to “COVID-19 concerns.”

Per Page Six, a representative for the gala said: “As the top-billed star of “The Piano Lesson,” Mr. Jackson is extraordinarily cautious about the risk putting the production in jeopardy by exposing himself to COVID-19. Ms. Jackson accepted on behalf of both she and her husband simply to minimize his risk of exposure. Mr. Jackson had only ever planned on doing photos and then leaving, as everyone involved with planning the event knew in advance.”
Meanwhile, last year, Samuel described his marriage as “two people who respect each other, love each other and look out for each other,” he told PEOPLE.
LaTanya added: ‘In the beginning, we always said the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together, raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother, since everybody likes to pretend that that’s not the dynamic of the African American family.
‘That it’s just children out here being raised by women, which we know is false. In order to change that narrative, we made a decision to say, “We are going to stay together no matter what. We’ll figure it out.”‘
