  "account": "Chet Hanks finally faced Eric André at ComplexCon, reigniting a years-long feud that began with a chaotic interview three years ago. Footage from the event showed Hanks approaching André from behind at the Los Angeles Convention Center and placing a hand on his shoulder. André initially seemed pleased to see Hanks, but confusion quickly set in as he asked, \"What are you talking about?\" Security eventually separated the two, with André directing a remark at Hanks' father while walking away. Hanks, in a social media post, claimed André had no memory of their past disagreement, where Hanks mocked Caribbean culture during his time on André's show. André, however, later said Hanks was \"emotionally disturbed\" and had shown dangerous behavior on set, including attempting to prank crew members. Hanks denied André's claims, stating he had been invited to the show and had only matched André's energy. The dispute appeared to have been resolved, but André insisted it was genuine.",
