Michael Blackson Passionately Defends Elton John Peeing In Bottle In Middle Of A Sneaker Store: 'That S**t's Old'
Michael Blackson shared his opinion on the incident where Elton John allegedly peed in a bottle while shoe shopping in France.
The "Couples Retreat" reality star was walking at LAX when a TMZ photographer asked him about the claims of a sneaker store owner that the 77-year-old British singer-songwriter came into his shop and peed inside a plastic bottle in the middle of his store.
"Elton John, he was just at a shoe store overseas, and he actually had to go to the bathroom. He asked him if there was a public restroom, and they told him, 'No.' So he put on a water bottle and started peeing right there in the middle of the store. What do you think of it?" the photographer said to Blackson.
"He did it in public? He has a weak bladder. As you get older, your bladder gets weaker," he defended the "Your Song" singer.
As Blackson's response suggested it was forgivable, the photographer added, "But he also spilled some in the middle of the store. He liked missed the bottle a little bit."
The comedian stood with what he previously said, telling the interviewer, "That s**t's old... Sometimes, you have to go. It's sad. How old is Elton John? Come on."
"He f***ing had to go. He got to go either that, luckily he got some of them in the body, but it could have been all over the place."
"It could have been a medical issue. Either he would explode it or he had to let it go," he continued to defend John.
The Ghanaian star's interview comes after Ryan Sukkar, the owner of Sugarkikz in Nice, France, reportedly told TMZ of the incident involving the veteran artist.
Sukkar told the outlet that John came into his shop with his two sons and a bodyguard on Monday and asked if there was a public restroom. After he told him that there wasn't one around, the singer allegedly turned to his bodyguard to ask for a bottle.
After that, he allegedly took a few steps away from the shoppers and peed in the plastic container.
Per Sukkar, the British musician -- whose identity he had no idea of at first -- allegedly got some pee on the floor, which he asked his bodyguard to clean up. This reportedly left him "shocked and frustrated," as it was the first time he experienced that in his three years in the business.
He added that when he asked John what he was doing for a living, he just responded, "I'm Elton John." He then quickly searched him online and realized he was a popular celebrity.
Before leaving, the singer reportedly bought his sons a pair of sneakers each, took a photo at Sukkar's store and gave him a handshake.
