Ver Vorfall war echt, wie es in den damaligen Wrestling Observer Newslettern berichtet wurde. Es gab auch noch einen zweiten Vorfall.
WON vom 28. April:
Zitat:
[...]White, 40, was immediately placed under house arrest at his hotel room after the incident, which took place on 4/11, and detained in Kuwait while the rest of the WWF tour returned home two days later. White had a hearing in Kuwait on 4/22 and was expected to be cleared to return to the United States the next day.
[...]
Police were called immediately and White was arrested both for assault and for lascivious conduct because it is illegal in Kuwait to swear on television.
[...]
There was a second incident involving White, although we're not clear as to the details. It may have been on 4/21, and it was at the hotel White was being detained at, that he caused some sort of a problem that resulted in 20 police officers, people from the U.S. Embassy and his lawyer to have to calm him down. In addition, there was another situation we're not clear of details on that was said to be minor involving him and a flight attendant on the trip to Kuwait.
McMahon claimed in press reports that Al Othman had indicated that if he received a $35,000 settlement, that he would drop the assault charges. McMahon said he would have accepted the offer but than Al Othman disappeared. Complicating matters is this all occurred during "Ramadan," the Muslim country's holiest holiday during which much of the country is undergoing a religious fast period and the legal system is shut down. The word among wrestlers returning from Kuwait was that the host of the show was rich and was offered a settlement by the WWF but had refused.
WON vom 5. Mai:
Zitat:
Leon White returned to the United States on 4/24 after spending ten days under house arrest in Kuwait while awaiting a hearing on charges of public aggression and public humiliation having to do with the incident on the "Good Morning Kuwait" television show.
In addition, White faces secondary charges of disorderly conduct and public drunkenness stemming from a second incident on 4/21 at the hotel he was being held at which ended up involving 20 police officers.
White, who had to promise to abide by the verdict in his trial, which is scheduled to take place in about one week before the Kuwait Court of Misdemeanors, at his hearing in order to get his passport returned and be allowed to leave Kuwait. The charges could result in a penalty of as much as one year in prison and fines, however the WWF believes ultimately the decision in all charges will only result in a fine.
WON vom 12. Mai:

White was told by the English speaking producer to be in character and act menacing, so between that, and because the Kuwait tour wasn't doing well, he figured he would do something on the TV show to try and build up the house for the rest of the tour and he knocked over the table and plants and grabbed the host. So he thought what he was doing was a work, but the host hadn't been clued in and did call the police and the arrest and charges weren't a work. At the police station, the English speaking producer told the police that it was all a work but they still pressed charges because the host didn't know. Several days later while not allowed to leave the country, White went to the U.S. Embassy to try and get out of the situation and had a few drinks and got sick. He was looking for something to take because he was sick and went to a doctor, who smelled the alcohol on his breath and that was the situation where he was arrested for being drunk in public and more than 20 police officers came and took him down to the station although nothing further is expected to happen on the public drunk charges. The aggravated assault charges figure to wind up with White paying a decent-sized fine but no prison time.
