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.”
