A bouncer who claims to have witnessed Liam Gallagher to put his hand around girlfriend Debbie Gwyther’s throat has broken his silence saying he was worried for her safety.
Max Ksiazek, 29, who has lost his job at the Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone, central London, said he was alerted to the former Oasis star’s violence by a waiter.
Mr Ksiazek, who has been working in security for a decade, said Debbie was ‘in tears and shaking’ after Liam pushed her.
In a video posted by the Sun, Liam Gallagher appears to grab his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther, 36, by the throat in a row at the Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone on August 8
Speaking to the Sun, the doorman said: ‘When I got to the corridor I shouted, ‘Liam!’ He released his hand from her and I escorted him through the courtyard.
‘We had a conversation at the doors and he was basically saying it was her fault and that she was a witch — he was just constantly repeating that.’
The pair both denied Liam had put his hands on Debbie, 36, before video footage of the argument was posted online last week.
Mr Ksiazek said he wanted to go on the record to show what happened was ‘absolutely no drunken joke’ after Debbie told the Mirror ‘we were drunkenly messing around and it’s been made into something it wasn’t.’.

Liam, 45, called Debbie a ‘f**ing witch’ during a row that left her in tears after he ‘shoved her back’ at the the trendy London club on August 8, a reveller earlier claimed.
Before the footage was released, the 45-year-old Mancunian said: ‘Firstly I have never put my hands on any woman in a vicious manner. Secondly, there is only 1 witch and we all know who that is.. as you were LG x’.
But in footage released to the Sun, Liam seems to push Debbie, who has worked for him since 2013. He then appears to grab her by the throat.

Debbie’s head goes backwards and Liam releases her after a few seconds, appearing to say something to her.
Debbie briefly drops her head and retreats as Liam walks away out of view of the camera.
Since the footage has emerged, Liam has not commented on the matter. Liam was seen performing in Paris on Saturday night.

But before the footage emerged, Debbie took to Instagram and said: ‘The Sun have surpassed themselves yet again. Shame on them and on all who have asked for Liam’s comment rather than mine.
‘Caring individuals all of them I’m sure. Pack of lies as per usual…’Former personal assistant’ being amongst the offensive.
‘They’ve taken a couple of years off my age though….journalism at its best! Lazy, sexist nonsense…legal case impending. As We Were.’
She said before the photos and video were released: ‘He’s never laid a hand on me.
‘Our relationship is stronger than ever. Liam has never laid a hand on me. It is completely ridiculous.’

The couple were in the nightclub from around 10pm.
They had arrived with a male friend after having dined Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair.
Two years ago the the pair publicly clashed at a celebrity haunt in Oxfordshire.
The couple were seen arguing at the bar of the Soho Farmhouse in early 2016 shortly after Liam was ordered to split his £11million fortune with ex-wife and All Saints star Nicole Appleton.
