Jordan, 60, followed the men out to deliver a stern lecture.
As reported by TMZ, they had been having a very loud and inappropriate conversation about their heterosexual exploits.
When the situation turned hostile, the gossip blog claims he “doused” the man “with his cold drink”.
Joseph Daniels, a photographer, witnessed Jordan’s coffee-throw, as reported by local news site Wehoville. ‘The guy lunged at Leslie to hit him, ‘ Daniels said of one of the men.
L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene and the three men were handcuffed because they refused to calm down. The men were interviewed but ultimately not arrested because no crime was committed.
Mr Jordan did not face any action for throwing his drink at the men.
