Martin Kove Apologizes After Biting Incident in Washington

Cobra Kai actor Martin Kove apologized after biting co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim on the arm at a fan convention in Washington, which led to his removal from the event and a police report, though no criminal charges were filed. Hannah-Kim publicly described the biting as a serious and unacceptable attack but urged fans not to let it affect their enjoyment of the show. In April 2024, Kove was investigated by Sony Pictures Television for alleged sexual harassment on the Cobra Kai set after a female extra accused him of inappropriate staring and comments. Sony reprimanded Kove and encouraged an apology but did not formally discipline or remove him from the set. Kove has denied any wrongdoing in the harassment case, claiming transparency and exoneration during the inquiry. Both incidents have drawn public scrutiny toward Kove.
