Ludwig Kaiser and his attorney are questioning the claims of the man who is suing Kaiser over an elevator argument.
In a court filing, Richard Reap states that due to the confrontation he suffered a torn rotator cuff and a concussion.
Kaiser and his attorneys are seeking access to those records and medical reports to bolster their defence.
“The requested subpoena would direct Mr. Reap to produce his medical records relating to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the injuries he allegedly sustained in the incident underlying this prosecution. The requested records include relevant emergency department records, physician and nursing notes, diagnostic reports, imaging reports, consultation records, discharge instructions, referrals, and billing records from April 23, 2026, through November 12, 2026. The subpoena would be limited to records concerning the alleged torn rotator cuff, concussion, head injury, shoulder injury, or other injury that Mr. Reap attributes to the charged incident,” stated Kaiser’s attorneys in their reply.
The charge stems from a confrontation between Ludwig Kaiser and Richard Reap, who lived in the same Orlando apartment complex at the time. According to Reap’s account, the incident began after he asked Kaiser and his girlfriend, Andrea Bazarte, to “please have some manners” while the couple was kissing inside an elevator.
Reap alleges that Kaiser subsequently attacked him. Kaiser has acknowledged pushing Reap but maintains that he acted in self-defence after Reap approached him in an aggressive and threatening manner.
The WWE star has also alleged that Reap made a racist remark involving a threat to contact US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) about Bazarte. The competing accounts remain central to the ongoing legal proceedings, with the battery charge yet to be resolved.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for December 17th.
