VIDEO: Paparazzo Gets Close to Rihanna, Gets Roughed Up

(Splash News)

(Splash News)

Gossip Cop is curious to know what you all think about this one.

Near a Rihanna video shoot in New York, a photographer argued with the performer’s handlers when he got too close. Then things got a bit physical … and later the paparazzo was allowed to shoot from a prime location.

Gossip Cop doesn’t like to see any violence – whether by paparazzi or against them. We’d like to know in the comments whether you think the photog or the people around Rihanna should be given more of the blame.

    Knowing no more than this I’ll always side with the stars and/or the security. Paps are completely out of control these days and seem to believe they can do whatever they want regardless of how intrusive or against the law it might be. And if it’s not against the law, it should be. Of course we’ll have to hire more police, but oh well…. do it!

    The Pap pushed his way in and then fell on purpose at the wall, the handler was doing his job. The Pap was playing to the other photogs to make it look good, and then won the photog lotto. Pathetic !!

    From what I see from the video. It appears the security acted appropriately. The paz however was making a big speckle out of himself falling on the ground and rolling around. You can see when he was cornered he fall on the ground as if someone pushed him down and they clearly didn’t. I really feel there needs to be better laws to protect people from the pesty paz

    Ditto to ” The Pap pushed his way in and then fell on purpose at the wall”… it’s SO evident he did it, in the first place… (C’mmn my 4y.o. cousin can handle more that that!…)…
    But I think afterwards the security guard didn’t have to be that harsh… ie, he could have been more polite, classy enough and do not fall down to pap’s level… no need to get into the struggle-show… just a call to police, and voilà ! I’m sure Rihanna’s ppl had permission to be on the place, and for that, the pap would be trespassing some kind of “territory” he shouldn’t be in… nuff said!

    And it’s (God dang it!) SOOOOOOOOO evident that the pap played the “Oh, I’m the victim” show so he could get close and get pics… really, as Bill Bagyan said… PATHETIC!… this other guy calling his name and “duh, I have you on video”… pffffffff… Who you think you’re joking?… If you got the security guy on video, and on the video we see the ridiculous attempt of job your partner is doing, besides making a fool of himself; perhaps they could also show the video of you papz harassing and stalking Rihanna… you know, just in case you wanna take that to judges… like if any judge would give you a pice papz!… I’m just saying…

    *****

    GC,
    Defo, I love you want to show BOTH sides, not just one as everyone else has done before… now, you got my respect for THAT!
