“Extra security was called to try to manage the swarm of fans who congregated outside the show’s after party,” said a source at the starry bash for the opening night of the play, which stars Aubrey Plaza and onetime “Girls” actor Christopher Abbott. “Tensions came to a boiling point when Marisa Tomei exited the party at around midnight and tried to avoid the throng by beelining for her nearby car.” We’re told that after the “My Cousin Vinny” star, 58, did not stop for photos, a few angry fans followed her down the block, “taunting her.”
“Security quickly stepped in, brandishing Tasers, which provoked at least one member of the crowd to dial 911,” said a source. We’re told that when the police showed up, tempers had cooled, and Tomei was already safely on her way home.
