- Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones appeared on a show with blood streaming down his nose.
- He said he smashed his face into a wall because he was so excited congratulating a YouTuber.
Shock jock Alex Jones appeared on a podcast on Tuesday with blood pouring down the bridge of his nose, saying he accidentally smashed his face into a wall.
"If it bleeds, it leads, ladies and gentlemen," said the InfoWars host on the show while grasping his nose with a bloody tissue.
Jones said he was in a hallway congratulating conservative YouTuber Steven Crowder on his viewer counts when he was told he was supposed to go back on air.
That's when he turned and smacked his face into the wood paneling on a wall, he said.
Crowder on Wednesday tweeted security camera footage of Jones walking into the wall.

While speaking on Crowder's podcast on Wednesday, Jones said his nose injury was "almost an inch long" and had "popped open pretty wide."
Jones dismissed the injury, saying he had broken his nose "like 20 times," and described himself as "Yosemite Sam meets the Tasmanian Devil" — two Looney Tunes cartoon characters.
Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist, often makes bombastic statements that are untrue. He has filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $1.5 billion to the families of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims, whom he defamed by falsely claiming they were actors and that the massacre was a hoax.
A bankruptcy plan filed by Jones proposed that he pay less than 4% of the owed amount over the next five years, while suggesting he be paid $520,000 a year.
The New York Times reported on Saturday that Jones has been transferring millions in assets to his family and friends in a bid to avoid losing that money in reparations.
