Jodie Foster accused of attacking teenage boy

Jodie Foster has been accused of assault after a 17-year-old boy took a photo of her. His father told Radaronline: “My son was at The Grove with his girlfriend and they were going to see a movie. He saw Jodie Foster and is a big fan so went over and took a picture of her. She came after him, poked him in the chest and said, ‘Do you even have a mother, you slime ball?'” The father said his son was really confused and apologized profusely. “He didn’t mouth back at all and was scared of her.” Foster was with her two sons at the time — Charles, 11, and Christopher, 8. The teen’s family later went to police and filled out an incident report, which states that she grabbed the teen’s left arm, “causing visible injury.” The father says: “This left a really bad impression on my son about her. He used to be a big fan and now he has a bad taste in his mouth. He’s a good kid; kind of small for his age. There was no threat to Jodie.” However, Jodie’s rep states: “This guy was most definitely a professional paparazzo. He had a large camera bag and 1000mm telephoto lens. He tailed Jodie and followed her all the way from the movie theater to the valet. This guy’s behavior was completely inappropriate. and the police report is a fabrication of the incident.”

What the hell?
ps I ADORE Jodie Foster. This is a lie, well, duh.
i dont know, i wouldnt be so quick to defend celebs. they all seem to be wacko lol. guess we will find out when it hits tv because there will be pics of the boy that was assaulted.
I hope she sues him for making the bogus report against her. The new generation of paparazzi have no respect or boundries. Innocent 17 year old boys could give a rat’s ass about Jodie Foster, this was paparazzo for sure.
I find it amusing that the majority of the people here are immediately defending the celeb here. There have been MANY instances where celebs snap when their photo is taken. I for one will be waiting to pass judgment.
The positive thing about this story is that one side is definitely wrong.
He was taking her photo not shooting her.She should move out of Hollywood and quit show biz if she doesn’t like getting her photo taken.
