As Joaquin Phoenix continues to deny his questionable move into hip hop is a hoax, sources claim a bust up between the former actor and an audience member at a gig last week was also a set up. The altercation, which was filmed and posted online, was, one source has told the New York Post, "completely staged". The source adds: "It was a fake fight. Nobody threw a punch. They were just holding onto each other". Pheonix's friend and brother in law Casey 'brother of Ben' Affleck, who has been documenting his friend's hip hop career, was filming the gig, and some claim the confrontation was staged for his camera.
