Braith Anasta breaks silence on heated restaurant run-in with Rabbitohs’ Latrell Mitchell

·

Braith Anasta has opened up about a heated confrontation with South Sydney Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell outside Sydney’s Chin Chin restaurant last year, admitting he briefly feared the exchange could turn physical.

Speaking on the Off the Record podcast, Anasta recalled how Mitchell, angry over criticism on Fox League’s NRL360, confronted him at the busy venue. He feared Mitchell’s anger might bubble over.

“I’d be lying if I said at some point, I didn’t think it might happen,” Anasta said. “I was thinking in my head, I can’t let him land the first one because I’ll be gone, because he’s a beast.”

Anasta said the Rabbitohs star tapped him on the shoulder, then accused him of “having a crack” on television before asking him to step outside.

Braith Anasta has opened up.

“It’s the middle of Chin Chin’s. It’s a busy night… I thought, I need to de-escalate this,” he explained.

Once outside, Anasta said Mitchell “laid into” him in a fiery exchange, angered over his past criticism of Mitchell’s on-field performance while Souths were struggling.

Despite the intensity of the moment, Anasta insists the pair have since reconciled.

“Let me get something clear here – me and Latrell are fine,” he said.

Mitchell has since bounced back to top form, starring in State of Origin and for Souths in their recent win over the Warriors.
