South Sydney superstar Latrell Mitchell reportedly confronted NRL great turned TV host Braith Anasta at a Sydney restaurant.
Nine's Danny Weidler reported in The Sydney Morning Herald the incident allegedly happened on Wednesday night.
Weidler says Mitchell and Anasta were both dining at Chin Chin in Surry Hills when they engaged in a conversation.

Mitchell then invited the former State of Origin playmaker outside where they continued to argue in an "animated but never physical" way.
Sources told Weidler the disagreement stemmed from Mitchell's displeasure with Anasta's recent criticism of the Rabbitohs on Fox Sports' flagship NRL 360 program.
Wide World of Sports has reached out to Anasta for comment.
Anasta was criticised by many viewers for his on-air confrontation with Bunnies CEO Blake Solly after the club sacked Jason Demetriou as coach a fortnight ago.
As well as hosting NRL 360, Anasta has ventured into athlete management and one of his agents is young halfback Lachlan Ilias.
Ilias was dropped from South Sydney's NRL team early this season and has since been told to look for another club.

Anasta once had a close personal tie to the Rabbitohs.
He was a Souths junior and his uncle is club icon George Piggins.
Anasta never played for the Rabbitohs across his 288-game NRL career.
Weidler says South Sydney has previously complained to Fox Sports over NRL 360's coverage of the club and players.
