Caught on Tape: Actor Woody Harrelson Attacks Photographer

TMZ: As the photog asked Woody questions, the actor shoved the camera into our photog's eye, causing it to temporarily stop recording. A few seconds later the video returns but then the screen goes black again -- you can still hear Woody attack full bore, ripping the camera out of the photog's hands.

Laughing at both of these sorry clowns, and they deserve each other.

TMZ are genuine parasites. They’re empowered by the dopes who watch their crap. So don’t do it. Who cares about celebs? Big freakin deal. No more interesting than the lives of every one else and usually a whole lot less.

Yeah, who do you root for in this one?

Its time to sue the cr@p out of this loose cannon, Woodrow Harrelson. He has done this sort of thing once too often. He really needs to pay for his temper. I wish someone would have run by and snatched his bags off the sidewalk, that would have made my day. He really is a sorry sort.

Celebs get what they want. Bad publicity is still publicity. TMZ may be parasites, but at least they won’t preach to us on how to live a green life while leaving a big arse carbon footprints…

Who Cares?   April 11th, 2009 - 10:49 am

These celebs do things to get themselves in the limelight, outside of their movie / show biz gigs, like inserting themselves in political or “hot button” issues, then expect privacy on their own terms. Feel Woody, while a complete @ss clown, should expect some privacy. Paparazzi guy, should take the picture, ask Woody to talk. If no, then no is no. Take your pictures, but leave the @ss clown alone.

The black photog makes a racist comment at 02:02. He deserves to get beat down for his racism. Black Racist.

Who assalted whom here? The way I see it Woody was TOTALLY Defending himself from the TMZ assalt and previous harrassment. The parasite and TMZ should be sued in to oblivion.

Woody claims now that he thought the guy was a zombie.

Doesn’t he know you gotta kill the brain?

Reminds me of Spielberg filming Jaws, where’s the da-da-da-da music? This cameraman needs to get a life; he is the true predator.

Who broke the law here? Obviously the TMZ reporter did not. And just as obvious is that Woody did. You just can’t bodily assault someone with a camers and expect to get away with it.

[...] washed up actor Woody Harrelson (from Cheers, the movie White Men Can’t Jump, Semi Pro, etc), smashed the camera of a TMZ photographer and pushed him in the face (according to a complaint filed by the photographer). Here’s the washed up Harrelson’s [...]

That was not a racist comment.He said “The star of “White Men Can’t Jump”" That was a movie this animal/liberal/America hating/ creep Woody stared in some years ago.
This guy should be in jail for this crime.If he doesn’t like the TMZ etc…around him…then he should get OUT of the business…or just ignore them.If he were to be nice he wouldn’t get bothered so much.I guess he never heard “You get more with sugar than vinegar” before. Or maybe his murdering Father forgot to tell him that.

Peter   April 11th, 2009 - 6:30 pm

I’m not a fan of celebs but I support Woody. When you stick a camera in someone’s face and start asking questions you are violating their personal space and freedom. Paparazzi behavior is a form of assault.

GO WHINE SOMEWHERE ELSE   April 12th, 2009 - 4:03 am

Hey, JERK! Maybe you should not be tailing people and harassing & filming them against their wishes. EVER THINK OF THAT? WHO ASSAULTED WHOM? WHOSE SPACE IS BEING VIOLATED BY YOU AND YOUR NOSY CAMERA, FOR THAT WORTHLESS TMZ SLEAZE-SHOW?

GO WHINE SOMEWHERE ELSE; you are lucky he didn’t break your stupid HEAD!

BILL BARASKY   December 16th, 2009 - 4:18 pm

I hate TMZ. What a bunch of low life scum. They are parasites. I think the people who watch TMZ are just as bad. They only fuel the parasite’s fire.
