Roma Downey, actress and wife of Mark Burnett,responded an hour laterby accusing Tom of ambushing Mark, resulting in a dark bruise on her hand.

That’s not the end of it.How I Met Your Motheractress Alyson Hannigan was a witness to the event, statingJeff Probst was the one to break up the fight! She did not clarify who started it as of 4:00 a.m. ET, however, but it does add a new wrinkle into the strange altercation.
