content for this list we’re looking at
the most hostile and infamous couples
between celebrities and the camera
flashing folks who shake them around day
and night go down now you’re supposed to
go number 10 Quentin Tarantino but why
are you so sure there’s no link between
enjoying movie violence and enjoying
real diamonds I don’t I’m going to tell
you why I’m so sure do not ask me a
question like that I’m not gonna I’m not
biting not usually one to get in scraps
at least in real life
Tarantino couldn’t help but let one
member of the paparazzi have it so can
you really blame him the Kill Bill
director was just trying to enjoy a nice
cup of Starbucks coffee when a paparazzo
abrasively approached him flashing and
filming what are you doing Tarantino’s
initial reaction was to go after the man
who please in cowardice however when the
paparazzo approaches again this time
dating the director to assault him
Tarantino demonstrates an impressive
amount of patience and restraint
choosing instead to walk away whoa what
business whoa and one laughing you did
not need ya cuz you’re filming yes but
if that was off I’d be whipping your ass
up and down this street yeah cool
number 9 Mike Tyson what idiot thought
it would be a good idea to pick a fight
with Iron Mike did you see this guy in a
crime haven’t you heard the stories he’s
allowing much Isis itself into the
corner back in 2009 the champ was
catching a flight at LAX a nightmarish
process in and of itself when a member
of the paparazzi began harassing him –
did his best to avoid confrontation
walking away to find a peaceful spot
alone he even had to TSA agents have
scored him to a private area but when
the paparazzi wouldn’t quit he took
matters into his own hands
with the TSA agents screaming for him to
stop
Tyson approached the cameraman
understandably he got scared and pass
him real quick
number 8 Justin Bieber the Biebs has had
so many run-ins with the paparazzi it’s
honestly hard to pick one occasion that
stands out above the rest while we have
a certain amount of love for that time
in 2012 when he allegedly threw his shoe
at a paparazzo who was steadfastly
blocking his car the moment that makes
this list was his 2013 scuffle with a
London cameraman just trying to catch
his ride fever is verbally abused and
insulted by a paparazzo with a rude
vocabulary we’ll call the hood overcome
with emotion Bieber tries to fight
through his bodyguards to retaliate is
that your losses would you say is your
wall obviously the whole scene kind of
makes you feel for Justin as it’s a
reminder that despite his massive fame
and success he’s still just a kid
give me his face I have to be right in
front of me number 7 Sam Worthington and
Lara Bingle the sole proximate what are
you doing
remember back when you were a kid
fighting with your siblings and you all
go run to mom or dad and tell completely
different stories and it winds up being
a huge investigation to find out who’s
telling the truth now when it’s
paparazzi versus the Stars the same idea
tends to apply in this case footage
emerged of Sam Worthington and Lara
Bingle beating down a photographer
Shengli in New York City
after the ordeal Worthington and bingo
claimed we had kicked single but the
video seems to suggest otherwise oddly
enough we supposedly had no idea who
Worthington was we just wanted shots of
the Australian model damn did anything
today
number 6 Jamiroquai this country may
just be the most shocking on the list as
it features celebrity and paparazzi in a
complete role reversal typically it’s
the paparazzi doing the harassing but on
this occasion
it’s our celebrity doing the abusing a
part in a 5 minute video of the event
that’s emerged
Jamiroquai frontman Jason Cheatham also
known as Jake
a-absolutely hurl abuse at a paparazzo
who for quite some time just stands
there and takes it essentially however
he simply cracked and retaliates with a
devastating headbutt whoa in an instant
the musician has a full face of blood
and probably a few regrets over his
choice of words incredibly satisfying to
watch number 5 Hugh Grant directly while
he tends to play the charming rom-com
dreamboat buffoon in most of his film
roles in his day to day life
Hugh Grant doesn’t have much of a
problem getting nasty well it’s pretty
funny that he kicked a paparazzo in the
groin in 2009 we have to travel back to
April 2007 to find the entry that earned
a place on this list
hey it can’t become very complicated
trying to go about a shopping grant
could not escape an incessant man
flicking away with his camera
remember no bald Gunnar Kaasen a
mechanical man in retaliation grant
allegedly threw a container of baked
beans at the paparazzi kicked him and
steady hoped his children died of cancer
with the brutal for the same guy from
Love Actually
now number four Chris Martin Fred it
seems fair to say that on their worth of
days every person may have fantasies of
going a bit postal and letting all of
their anger out now most people find a
way to channel that rage and a healthy
appropriate law-abiding manner but that
wasn’t the case for Coldplay lead singer
Chris Martin in 2003 after an Australian
paparazzo refused to leave him alone
Martin cracked when the cameraman took a
break Martin kindly smashed his car
window and slashed his tires presumably
looking to give the paparazzo a taste of
his own medicine
maybe it wasn’t an eye-for-an-eye
exchange but we bet it felt pretty darn
good not that we condone that sort of
thing you jerk
number three Kanye West I don’t want to
hear paparazzi talk to me or anybody I
know these days it doesn’t matter what
time of year it is what’s happening on
the music scene or what’s happening in
world news the only man who seems to
make headlines is Kanye West oh but he
wasn’t always like this there was a time
in the mid 2000s when West did not
dominate the media and nearly as much so
when he clashed with paparazzi in 2008
it was kind of a big deal trying to make
his way through the American Airlines
terminal at LAX Kanye was harassed by
paparazzi right please absolutely
are you go retaliating he smashed the
photographer’s camera before his
bodyguard did the same thing to a TMZ
reporter the police booked the two but
not before West rushed the reporters
gasp gossip to stop it everybody no
number two Britney Spears I’ll be
printing more instance I’m not perfect
on humans like so many on this list
Britney’s 2007 clash with the paparazzi
was a manifestation of the pop star
reaching her breaking point we’ve got
this photo now from the x17 online.com
and it appears to show the popstar
shaving her own head smack dab in the
middle of the public breakdown that saw
Spears shave her head the baby one more
time singer blew up at a gas station
after Britt Britt patiently and politely
begged for her privacy
the paparazzi refused and Spears Loftus
please please don’t
she emerged from her car wielding an
umbrella hitting it against the
paparazzi’s SUV until it broke already
defeated from her inability to escape
the public eye this incident did not
help as the entire scene
was caught on video before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mention get out get out get up get the
fuck up number one
York so she doesn’t top charts a whole
lot these days there was a time when the
Icelandic singer was on top of the world
many Grammy nominations should paint a
picture of this dark career but we have
a sneaking suspicion she may be better
known for the vicious attacks she
delivered to a paparazzo one fateful day
in 1996
well maybe the bailout full of
experience that’s the face and arriving
in Bangkok the singer went from zero to
100 in a split second brutally beating
down a female reporter in a horrific
attack
[Music]
the singer blamed reporter for violating
her son’s privacy while the press claims
the attack was unprovoked whatever the
case this is by far the most infamous
paparazzi attack in celeb history the
British Poland journalist was more
stunned than injured the earth was led
away not however having calmed down do
