Following Brighton's defeat, Todd Boehly was accosted by irate supporters.
After being accosted by supporters, Boehly went to the home dressing room.
Following Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Brighton, angry Chelsea supporters attacked owner Todd Boehly.
The American, who oversaw the group that successfully acquired the Blues for £4.25 billion in May 2022, was in the Stamford Bridge stands as his team suffered its third straight defeat.
Conor Gallagher gave Chelsea, currently managed by club veteran Frank Lampard until the end of the season after Graham Potter was fired, the lead in the 13th minute.
Danny Welbeck, however, helped Brighton tie the score just before halftime. A breathtaking goal by 19-year-old Julio Enciso in the second half sealed the turnaround and caused further suffering for Lampard and his struggling men.
Some Chelsea supporters, according to the Evening Standard, expressed their ire at Boehly, who was sitting in the directors' box.
Images from inside the stadium showed the 49-year-old receiving criticism from spectators seated above him.
Boehly has spent more than £600 million on players since succeeding Roman Abramovich, but his judgements in west London haven't yet produced the results he was hoping for.
Chelsea is now ranked 11th in the rankings, just 12 points above the relegation zone, with 39 points earned from 31 Premier League games.
What did Todd Boehly do when Chelsea supporters challenged him?
Boehly got into a fight with some Chelsea fans at the end of the game, and after that he went to the home dressing room and stayed there for over an hour.
According to The Sun and Spanish journalist Manu Sanchez, Boehly was accompanied by fellow owner Behdad Eghbali.
According to the report, after finally emerging from the locker room, the two made a "swift exit" from Chelsea's home field.
What Boehly stated to Chelsea's illustrious team of athletes and interim manager is yet unknown.
Here is the video from Saturday night showing Boehly finally leaving the dressing room:
Can Lampard salvage Chelsea's miserable campaign?
Now, Lampard and his team will concentrate on Tuesday night's second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.
Chelsea has a mountain to climb to stay in Europe's top club competition after falling behind 2-0 in the first leg at the Bernabeu last week.
Chelsea's Premier League campaign is already essentially over, and their best chance for this season is a top-half finish.
Boehly will keep looking for a new permanent manager in the meantime.
The oddsmakers presently pick Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann to manage Stamford Bridge the next season.
