Entertainment journalist and publicist, Ralston Barrette, more popularly known as ‘Rallo’ or ‘Big Rallo’, was attacked and badly beaten on Thursday at his business-place in Negril.

Reports are that Rallo, who is very within the entertainment community, went to his restaurant to try and calm down an unruly employee when he was viciously attacked. The man reportedly sprayed pepper in Rallo’s eyes and proceded to beat him over the head with a ketchup bottle.

In an interview with chatychaty.com, Rallo confirmed the incident and said he had to visit the doctor where he was  given stitches for head and facial injuries.

“It was totally unexpected,” Rallo said. “I get quite a lot of complaints about this guy, the chef at my restaurant, and during a conversation with him over the phone, he started to behave boisterous. I decided to walk over to the restaurant to see what really was happening when this man attacked me — totally unprovoked. I could not even get to defend myself because the people held me back and this man was able to punch me all over my face and in my head with the bottle and his bare hands. I went to the doctor very bloody,” Rallo explained.
