Jude Law Accused Of Hitting A Female!

Filed under: Legal Matters > Jude Law

Seems like British actor Jude Law might be in a bit of legal troubles.

Last night, Jude was spotted leaving the Wyndham Theatre in London, having performed in Hamlet. He even took the time to sign autographs for his fans.

Later that evening, he attended a dinner hosted by movie director Christopher Nolan, along with other celebs.

Around 1am this morning, Jude was seen leaving the London restaurant when the paps started snapping away.

As a somewhat inebriated irritated Law made his way out, 28-year-old female paparazzo Harsha Gopal says Jude struck her in the head.

According to the pap, "He hit me full in the face. It was a real stinger, it was very sore."

However, Jude's reps were quick to dismiss the claims, stating the whole thing was merely an accident.

His attorney claims, "This is all nonsense. Last night's incident was an accident. Jude was blinded by the camera flashes when he left the restaurant, raised his hand to shield himself and inadvertently struck somebody standing very close. He apologised and left. Pictures of this sort can often be misleading."

Police have yet to reveal if a formal complaint has been issued against Jude. But pictures of the incident can be seen HERE.

      Full in the face? Looks like the back of the head to me. Probably an accident but whatever.



    9. 9

      She didn't get hit in the face, she got hit in the back of the head. Probably not even that hard. In any case, don't become paparazzi then. It's her own fault.



    10. 10

      Oh come on! Paparazzi are so melodramatic. Even as a feminist I'll bet that Gopal was in his face blinding him with a flash and Law was just trying to get away. Give me a break.

      that's some pretty hard impact, you don't get that by lifting up your arm. it looks very intentional.



    12. 12

      She is definitely fabricating her story. From the pictures, he's hitting her in the back of the head! It does appear that he is lifting his hand to shield himself from the flashing lights

    14. 14

      I don't think he looks irritated as much as the lights from the bulbs are blinding him…there were several there, and so it causes you to scrunch up your face. I think he was just lifting his hand and didn't see her.



    15. 15

      what i would like to know is,
      if she was standing next to JUDE LAW,
      with that FABULOUS camera,
      why in gods name is she standing with her back to him?
      make absolutely no sense to me, that's for sure.



    16. 16

      It looks like he was smiling and putting his hand out like..hello. She got hit..probably not very hard, but overacted it. His picture where he turns and looks angry was probably him realizing he had hit someone and didn't mean too. Paps really exaggerate …it makes them money!



    17. 17

      who cares! every idiot in the world is getting away with hitting people these days. Look at chris brown. Who cares, whatever. I don't think he did it on purpose though. He has never been accused of this behavior toward a woman before has he? The chick, like everyone else, probably needs cash.



    18. 18

      Her back is clearly turned to him, so what is he shielding himself from? She obviously was not taking a photo when she was hit in the back of the head, because her body was facing the other way when his hand first started to rise, and when it struck her. Maybe he was trying to shield from other photogs, but then why would his hand go out towards her when there was no flash from her camera? Its hard to tell in the confusion.



    19. 19

      She needs to get over it……they push people to their breaking point and when they break, they act stunned and confused.



    20. 20

      Consider the source .. bottom-feeding paparazzi



    21. 21

      he's a hack actor. and a loser with a capital 'LOSER' can anyone say 'Alfie'? and 'I heart Huckabee'



    22. 22

      It seems like an accident to me. He probably could not even see with all the light bulbs flashing in his face, so the woman can not honestly blame him when she indirectly caused it.

      You forgot to make fun of his receding hairline — like you usually do.
      Perhaps you looked in the mirror this morning and finally noticed your hairline is receding as well.



    24. 24

      No people…..this aint no accident, he hit her ass for real. They got better shots on MTO.



    25. 25

      He probably didn't notice he was even hitting a woman. In the pictures, he can't see her face.



    26. 26

      in the picture when he actually hits her he isn't even looking at her, I highly doubt it was on purpose



    27. 27

      Probably it was an accident. So, when people stop getting so involved in Celebraties life and get their on instead !



    28. 28

      Uh….from the pictures, she's got her back to him, so I"m thinking it's kinda hard to hit someone in the face from behind. Damn, not even for ALL the $$$ in the world would I be a celebrity.



    29. 29

      He had his hand/arm up to shield himself from all the flashlights from the cameras. She's just out to make some quick money. If anything, Jude should sue her ass for getting so up in his face with a camera. The flashes from these cameras are blinding. On occassion I have seen how in your face the paparazzi are and how you can actually lose your sight and bearings for a few seconds when the cameras go off and they weren't even pointed at or that near to me. No sympathy whatsoever for that cow!



    30. 30

      so its okay to hit guy paps but not girl paps

      get over it.

    31. @v@ says – reply to this

      That pic doesn't look 'full on in the face' to me. Those flashes truly are blinding.
      You can't see a damn thing. Get out of his face, anyway. Keep a safe distance.



    32. 32

      paparazi…..man or woman, they take their chances….



    33. 33

      He's not crazy! I believe him.



    34. 34

      He should have hit her harder!



    35. 35

      It is so easy to make this claim. Paparazzi do get too close sometimes, and those flashes do blin dpeople. Personally, the stud can slap me any time.



    36. 36

      Uuhhh, saw the picture…quite obvious he was shielding himself and made a mistake. Being a celebrity sounds like a royal pain in the ass with people in your effing face everywhere you go.



    37. 37

      He had been very patience with photographers every nigth outside the theater, they are out of control. The ligths of the flashes are annoying and you can't see anything. I think They are using her genre (female) to make him look bad, and that is disgusting. All my life I have been fighting with the fact that female aren't diferentt to male at work, and people like her make us take a step back.



    38. 38

      probably not intentional… is it just me or does he have some NEW HAIR??



    39. 39

      Whether it was intentional or not, I have absolutely no sympathy for paparazzi. They're bottom feeders..



    40. 40

      According to the picture, he hit her in the back of the head, not the face. So, she already doesn't know what she's talking about.



    41. 41

      yes perez get over it.



    42. 42

      Re: lilsteen – agree!



    43. 43

      Occupational hazard.



    44. 44

      HE DID HIT HER! WHY IS HE TRYING TO LIE.FUCKIN BASTARD. HIS ACTONG CAREER IS OVER- I WOULD BE ANGRY TOO



    45. 45

      Hey, he had just come from killing his whole family!



    46. 46

      Re: Alfavil – LOL



    47. 47

      I saw a picture of him "hitting" her. It just so happened it was in the back of the head, and it looks like he's putting his hand up to cover his eyes from a flash.

      People need to leave him alone.
