The 10 best reactions to the James Packer scuffle.

In case you were sleeping all yesterday / have better things to do than hang out on social media all day, James Packer was caught on camera engaging in some fisticuffs with his former BFF, outside his home in Bondi.

The 46-year-old casino/media mogul was photographed in a vicious fight with the head of Channel Nine, David Gyngell.

The subsequent explanation for the argument, is that James Packer was angry a Channel 9 news truck was parked in the street where he lives. News Limited say Packer sent Gyngell a SMS asking him to have the truck moved as he returned from the airport – apparently believing that the truck was there to catch rumoured fling Miranda Kerr, leaving his premises.

But because the internet exists, there’s been a lot of hilarity to come out of this fall-out between best friends.
