“I’m grateful nobody got hurt…I didn’t think there was anything in the pantry. I was like, ‘Oh, it’s just a pantry, it’s food, cool.’ I turned around to put something down, then I turned around and he had a huge grill knife in his hand,” Sparks recalled of the terrifying moment.

“I was like, ‘Okay … how do I approach this?’” Jordin told People. “‘I can’t get super excited ’cause I don’t want him to start waving it, but I don’t know how to take it from him without him trying to wave it!’ It was the craziest thing.”
