Tobey Maguire Friend Sends Paparazzo to the Emergency Room

Posted on October 13, 2008 at 10:01 am (PST)

Tobey Maguire took the family to the pumpkin patch in West Hollywood along with some friends. One of those friends thought he was so cool he beat up a paparazzo, who is seen the video with a bloody head, and later was taken to an emergency room in an ambulance. The police were called, but we’re not sure if the violent attacker was arrested, although he didn’t look so cool when police were taking him aside for questioning.

    It’s not right to beat on somebody, unless they are a threat to you!! But, I can understand how it must feel to be followed everywhere you go and have your families privacy invaded on a daily basis. If the pap’s would look at some internal controls on the approach of people. Some self governing, Than this would not happen as often. I understand people in the public eye must be able to handle this, but REALLY if you puy yourself in their place, how would you do????

    To me, the wound looked not as bad as the description of the incident. Why are the paparazzi not taking pictures when the police are around? Just someone videotaping from a distance.

    Paparazzi shouldn’t even be hounding people and taking pictures of the children. That is just bad ethics. I don’t know what school of journalism has a philosophy of teaching students to follow people around from a public place to a dwelling but it surely wasn’t an institution of higher learning. As if the photographers were hired off the street.

    I’m not bashing. If you want a photo of someone, just ask them.

    Stupid paparazzi, I don’t feel sorry for him, not a bit. It’s a well-known hazard of that “profession”. It’s one thing to be hounded by photogs at a public appearance, but crowding around him when he’s just taking his wife and kid to a haunted house…sheesh. If I was a celebrity I’d have my bodyguards pop these obnoxious tools in the face too. Poor baby got a scratch on his temple! Awwww!
