Lonnie is the absolute least popular character on The Office and rightfully so. Patrice was nothing more than a thug - not only on the show but also in real life. I ought to know! I worked as a backstage coordinator at an LA club he was performing. During his two week stay at the club, everybody was hoping he would just leave. He was irritating, short-tempered, condescending, and appeared to have a problem with white males... even our black female employees noticed it! He made everybodies job miserable. By the 2nd week, I can't even tell you how many people called in sick due to his constant yelling and tirades. At the end of his 2nd week, the club's owner spoke to him about his increasingly rude and violent demeanor and Patrice started to push the owner. That's when we had no other choice but to call in the police. Boy, when the police arrived you all should have seen him. He quickly began talking in a very mild mannered way and said that he was being picked up. I shit you not! We were picking on him, lol! Everybody started taking odds at was he was saying and the police officers soon realized Patrice was playing lying. During all this commotion, the club's owner had a word with Patrice's manager and ended the contract right then and there. The owner cut him a check for services rendered and the manager refused to take it saying he was in breach of the contract. The club's attorney (who was right next door speaking to the police officers) quickly intervened and asserted his legal rights. Luckily, within minutes Lonnie and his sleaze of a manager were out the door. However, it wasn't long after that the police left that they were both banging on the door yelling something about us having to get them a limo. We're laughing on the other side of the glass and, once again, we had to call the police because they were making a raucous out in the middle of the street. So yes... Patrice was a real prick just like his character on The Office.
