Mezger then said: ‘Let’s declare war, a*****e, ’cause we got a lot to go for. Let’s bring it on, you b***h.’ He also called Griffin a ‘f*****g c**t.’

Mezger has been the frontman of the publicly traded company since 2006 and has worked there since 1993, according to his official biography.
Mezger and his wife, Sandra, live in a gated community next to Griffin and Bick.
‘Mr. Mezger regrets losing his temper over a supposed noise complaint involving his three young grandchildren in his swimming pool around 8 p.m. on Saturday, while they were being supervised by their mother and grandmother,’ a KB Home spokesperson said in a statement.
‘He apologizes for the language he used, as it does not reflect who he is or what he believes.’
Griffin and Bick moved to their new home a year ago. Logs obtained from the homeowners association show that they filed noise complaints immediately.

Mezger is believed to have told the association that he and his wife don’t host parties often and that their new neighbors ‘need to adapt.’
The couple has called Los Angeles police five times with complaints and have previous recorded instances of the CEO yelling insults at them.

A spokesperson for the LAPD told HuffPost the incident was a civil matter and would ‘take a while’ to find any record of the call.
Bick added that he called LAPD late Saturday after hours of excessive part noise, some of which did involve children.
While he was speaking with police, Mezger’s rant could be heard on video.
Mezger said: ‘Hey Randy, go f**k yourself. Seriously? You call on my grandkids at 9 o’clock? You’re not even the f*****g owner. You’re stuck with a f*****g bald d**e who Donald Trump kind of put the heat on. Now you’re calling the cops? F**k you and f**k Kathy. You’re not our f*****g neighbor, you’re a f*****g asshole.’
Griffin asked ‘What’s going on?’
The CEO added: ‘Let’s declare war, a*****e, ’cause we got a lot to go for. Let’s bring it on, you b***h.’
Griffin, seemingly confused, said: ‘Randy, what’s happening?’ [cross talk] ‘Randy, what’s happening?’
At this point irate, Mezger concludes: ‘If you’re asking Randy what’s happening, he called the cops on my 5-year-old granddaughter, you f****g c**t. B*****t ― 9 o’clock at night ― oh, this party’s loud, this party’s really happening. F**k you. I’ve done enough trying to be a nice partner ― f**k you, neighbor. War’s happening. Don’t wait until we’re gonna bring some things on you. Now f**k you.’
