‘Cobra Kai’ Actors Dispute Alleged Bite Incident at Washington Convention

At a fan convention in Puyallup, Washington, Alicia Hannah-Kim, an actress from the Netflix series 'Cobra Kai,' accused her co-star Martin Kove of biting her upper arm hard enough to nearly draw blood and leave bruising. The incident reportedly occurred when Hannah-Kim tapped Kove on the shoulder to greet him, and Kove then bit her arm and kissed the wound, later claiming he thought it was playful horseplay. Police bodycam footage captured a heated exchange where Hannah-Kim confronted Kove, calling the act assault and expressing her anger and pain. Although Hannah-Kim declined to press charges, she requested an official report be filed to document the incident. Kove admitted to biting her, apologized, and said he went too far, emphasizing that there is no excuse for his behavior. The incident resulted in Kove being escorted out of the event and has drawn significant attention to appropriate conduct among co-stars at public appearances.
