Comedian Corey Holcomb Accused of Punching Fellow Comic Cristina Payne Amid Feud

Comedian Corey Holcomb is facing accusations of punching fellow comic Cristina Payne outside a Hollywood comedy club earlier this month. Witnesses say the incident stems from a long-standing feud between the two.

According to reports, Cristina was outside the Hollywood Improv when Corey approached, shouting at her and her friend. Witnesses claim Corey threatened to punch Cristina, prompting a man nearby to step in to diffuse the situation.

Despite the intervention, Corey allegedly swung over the man and hit Cristina in the face. Witnesses say Corey and others then tackled the man who tried to stop the fight before Corey ran away. Police later arrived and took a report for battery.

Sources close to the situation say the feud dates back to July, when Corey allegedly told people he planned to "super sock" Cristina, using aggressive language to threaten her.

When Corey saw Cristina earlier this month, sources say he confronted her again, saying he was ready for a confrontation before the alleged punch occurred.

Cristina’s supporters claim Corey is using his podcast to deny the accusations and shift blame. They insist multiple witnesses are prepared to testify against him if charges are filed.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
