She also revealed that Kove became "furious and outraged" when confronted by her husband, Sebastian Roche, about the bite.

"I know there's a lot going on in the world right now, so I'm going to keep this brief," Hannah-Kim said in the video. "I was really enjoying my time at Summer Con... But as you can see, this was a serious incident. No one wants to be attacked at work, or anywhere really. And I don't think anybody would think this is normal or warranted or acceptable."

The Cobra Kai actress also sent a powerful message to fans and fellow cast members, encouraging them to "stand up for yourself" when faced with similar situations.

Meanwhile, Kove finally broke his silence on the incident, issuing a statement via Jaffe & Company PR & Crisis Management to TheScholarlyNote.com. In the statement, Kove apologized for his actions, admitting that he had gone too far and taking full responsibility for what happened.

"I deeply regret and apologize for my actions regarding the incident with Alicia [Hannah-Kim], a genuinely kind and wonderful person who didn't deserve to be put in this position," Kove wrote. "I've always respected her and considered her a highly professional and talented co-worker on Cobra Kai... I was being playful in the moment but went too far, and there is absolutely no excuse for my behavior."

As the drama continues to unfold, fans are left wondering what could have triggered such an outburst from Kove. Was it a case of method acting gone wrong? Or did the pressure of playing a villainous role get to him?
