Moore told ABC-13 News, "I don't believe Mr. Harden was at the club, and I definitely don't believe he had anything to do with an attack on Mr. Malone.

We would have done everything we could to make sure he was safe."The Facebook post that Malone alleges led to the incident read, "Don't he make WAY more $ then (sic) Donald Driver???? But, he charging 249$ & the inner city kids have NO CHANCE to go to his camp. Hollywood Harden #Fact."Harden has not been charged with any wrongdoing in connection with the case.
