The story went viral on Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok – making its way to FOX national news. The network called the fight “chaos.” According to their reporting, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested three people for misdemeanor battery.
An incident report, body cam footage, and other Orange County Sheriff records suggest a young Disney star was involved in the fight. Three members of the New Jersey family considered the aggressors – Tauheesha Richardson, Antuan Richardson, and Fuquan Grant – were interviewed by police.
According to a tip received by Inside the Magic, Fuquan Grant is allegedly a false identity for Elijah Richardson, who recently starred in Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Hollywood Stargirl (2022) on Disney+. In body cam footage, Fuquan Grant provided the same birthday as Elijah Richardson: September 24, 2002.
Additionally, Richardson is from New Jersey and publicly identified a Tauheesha and Antuan Richardson as his parents in a 2015 interview.
No charges have been filed following the Magic Kingdom fight. The other involved family is pursuing legal options at this time. Both families involved, including some Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members, were banned from Walt Disney World Resort but may appeal.
Richardson hasn’t commented publicly or admitted involvement in the Magic Kingdom brawl.
