It's like he can't decide what version casts him in the best or most sympathetic light. For my money, neither one of them is telling the whole truth - just enough to answer the question at hand. And they're both stumbling over their words to avoid saying what really happened because "what happens in Jovi stays in Jovi." I don't think it had anything to do with the size (or presence) of any part of Richie's anatomy. I suspect that they were already on the outs, had already said whatever they had to say to each other, and Richie's people called Jon's people.
