Ballers: 10 Most Shocking Moments From The Rock's TV Show Premiere

7. Ricky Beats Up A Frat Boy

Ricky Jerret's sex scene takes place in a nightclub toilet, causing a long queue to form outside the occupied bathroom. He is confronted afterwards by an angry young man who berates him for acting as though he's above the rest of society, before taunting him about the death of his fellow pro in the opening scene. Ricky snaps, knocking the man down with a single punch and continuing to beat him on the floor. Strasmore is quickly on the scene to drag him away, but the damage to his career is already done. Ballers shows itself to be in tune with the current importance of social media, as Jerret's misdemeanour is quickly spread across Twitter. He is subsequently cut from the Green Bay Packers, and the series looks ready to focus on his attempts to rebuild his career with the Miami Dolphins.
