"Who picks a fight with a rock star?" Jimmy Barnes confronts on-road "bully"
Jimmy Barnes' wife Jane has ripped into a truck driver who "bullied" the couple on the road, with the driver attempting to "fight Jimmy on the roadside".
Jane Barnes said the incident occurred on Wednesday night in the south Sydney suburb of Botany Bay, when the couple had been driving home from a charity event.
In a furious thread on Twitter, Jane detailed the terrifying incident which resulted in the police being called.
Jane wrote, "(He) cut us off across our lane and swiped our mirror, wanted to fight Jimmy on the roadside."
"Trucks are like weapons, bullies behind the wheel a danger to us all," she wrote, alongside the hashtags #TOLL and #NOtobullies.
Jane then shared a photo of the truck drivers' side profile as he almost came to blows with the rockstar, as well as photos of the truck's license plate and the Barnes' car which shows the drivers' side wing mirror bent out of place.
Jane went on to say the truckie had shared his details with the couple and that NSW Police had been called over the altercation.
However, she said, officers "couldn't do much" if there were no injuries or damages.
Jane's post drew in a wave of attention, with one fan asking, "Who picks a fight with a rock star?"
Ms Barnes replied, "Shouldn't matter who it is. This guy was just a pig. Swearing, smug, ignorant, misogynist bully."
The musician continued her rant on Instagram, writing, "When you drive a truck you're in charge of a weapon. A bully at the wheel can kill people."
Many sent their sympathies to the couple, with some saying the tweet was "poignant" given the increase in accidents on Aussie roads.
