Scottie Pippen Assaulted By People Much Shorter Than Scottie Pippen

Via Ball Does Not Spread Falsehoods, we learn of the tremendously weird press release issued by Scottie Pippen on Friday. In 2008, Pippen worked a few scenes in "Midgets Vs. Mascots," which is apparently a movie that exists. It has something to do with little people, so my first guess was that Pippen would have been involved in a scene with Frodo, Sam, and Merry. Because, uh, hobbits, and...oh, forget it.

In one scene, a gang of little people was to storm off after being angered by something Pippen said. Instead, this happened:

[...] they basically attacked me, with Gary Coleman apparently climbing on a chair behind me to hit me over the head with a phone (twice).

"A short fight ensued before I heard the film's director yell 'cut.' As I recall, some of the Little People were laughing as the director explained that the scene was 'sort of like an episode of the TV show 'Punk'd.'' At that point, I left quickly without a clear understanding of what was going on.

Select your film roles with appropriate discretion, you fool of a Took! (Video of the incident, which includes an f-bomb, can be seen here.)
