When Celebs Attacks Paps With Their Cars!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Oops! > Robbie Williams

rwcar2.jpg

Calling every lawyer in London Town! Do we have a case for you!

Last night, a photog was "accidentally" run over by a chauffeur whose passenger was none other than Robbie Williams! And get this - the pap was a teenager!

Poor little guy!

The kid got trapped under the vehicle as both of his legs were run over. People on the scene say that Robbie was visibly upset inside the car after the accident, though he made no personal attempt to get out and check on him. His handlers quickly transferred him to another car while police responded to the scene and the pap was taken to the hospital. Thankfully, his injuries are minor.

But the emotional damage will probably last a lifetime- and cost Robbie a bundle!

    HAHAHAHA! Thats what you get! Sad though. All that trouble for a pic of Robbie.



  2. 2

    they havent ran perez over because they'd need a bulldozer for that one.



  3. 3

    OMG I wish Robbie williams had got out of the car, it would probably of made that kids life to see him say sorry :)



  4. 4

    These people are just trying to do their jobs. I don't care if they are the scum of the earth, there is no reason to run someone over because you are annoyed with them. Shame on the driver. Accident my ass.



  5. 5

    Why would it cost Robbie money? He didnt do anything, he was just sitting there.
    It was the driver who ran over the pap, not Robbie.

    And btw, pwoplw really want photographs of Robbie Williams that bad? Really?
    I dont even know 1 of his songs.



  6. 6

    Robbie wasn't driving the car, why should he get sued? This is what is wrong with Americans, they are all sue happy! Well this was in England, and there they are not as tolerant of frivolous lawsuits. I think the driver should face some kind of punishment, and pay for all the poor kids bills, but Robbie didn't cause this. If anything the photag should stay out of the way!!



  7. 7

    why would Robbie be liable? He doesn't own the vehicle and he wasn't driving.
    If he was able to be sued…look out all paps will be diving under cars.



  8. 8

    Why would it cost Robbie anything?



  9. 9

    mabes if the paps start getting hit by cars more often they will have some respectable boundaries on celebs.



  10. 10

    Too F*in bad! That's what happens when you get that close to cars. Dumbass…when will these Paps start learning?!



  11. 11

    wow i read this in british tabloid "the sun" this morning . . . when are you gonna stop plagierising them?!? or when will rupert murdoch sue you lol

    p.s why would it cost robbie a bundle if a pap stands in front of a moving car?!? this is britain not LALA land perez we dont go in for stupid lawsuits . . .

    p.s follow me on t w i t t e r my names FUTURESTARdelux thanks x



  12. 12

    i do not feel pity. those papz are like volchures and leechers, who go way too far 99% of the time they're harrassing someone's personal space… and then they play the victim when karma comes and bites them in the ass… go cry a river.



  13. 13

    One less asshole to worry about. Maybe now people will learn to back off celebrities.



  14. 14

    oh and i think the driver will be held liable for this, and not Robbie, since he wasnt the one actually driving the car; he was just a passenger, he's not responsable for the driver's doings, unless he specifically ordered for him to run over someone with the car….



  15. 15

    haha fuck him, "paps" should get a life and a nickname that doesn't make me think of the gynecologist.



  16. 16

    wish…he…got…squashed.



  17. 17

    Uhm, why would Robbie have to pay? Not his fault. It's people like you that would sue everyone over bullshit. Maybe the kid shouldn't have been in the position to get hit by the car.



  18. 18

    Why should anyone but the pappo be responsible? You don't go near a moving car. How do we know he didn't get tripped up by some other pappo and fall and was accidentally run over? If they all stayed a safe distance away from moving vehicles this type of thing wouldn't happen. Let this be a lesson for all of the papparazi, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MOVING VEHICLES!



  19. 19

    what kind of person doesn't get out an check on the person,his river hit..extreme bad



  20. 20

    Unless you're suggesting that the driver took the car onto the pavement, the only way this could have happened is if the little twat paparazzi jumped in front of the car.



  21. 21

    Yea it is said but next time done stand in front of or with your feet under the side of the car…Eventually people have to leave they cant stay there for hours for you to get a picture…I think these things are totoally different than running over some random person in a parking lot these are idiots blocking the way mobbing your vehicle.



  22. 22

    Shouldn't stand that close to a moving vehicle, dumbass. I don't care if it IS their job, they still need to have some respect. When a celeb can't pull their car out into the street or leave a restaurant…there is a problem.



  23. 23

    Why is it going to cost him? He wasn't the one driving the fucking car. Idiot.



  24. 24

    cod robbie? he didnt do anything, he was in the backseat. it will cost the driver. besides maybe it will teach the paps dumb ass not to get so close to the car.



  25. 25

    The Paparazzi are douches and they deserve for this to happen.
    However, Robbie Williams is still a bigger douche because he should have gotten out and made sure the guy was ok.
    I always thought of him as an asshole and this just confirmed it.



  26. 26

    Newsflash: My security people have video footage which shows that the young man purposely put himself in harm's way. Now; if Robbie's people want to call my people this young trouble-maker can be properly dealt with and pseudo-pap-a-rats will no longer be crowding the streets; hence and therefore blocking the true "artists" of the lenses, whose work we all do adore.

    And when Robbie's people call my people for "protection" it will end forever the Balanoff so very psuedo-claim to the Head table. DeMarcos have what you need Mini-Me!!

    Yes, for those of you just realizing it, Robbie and I are good friends. I have finally agreed to stop being in love with his boyfriend and he has agreed to live his life Mortensensi style. "It really is none of your business who I am fucking, when and where and how many times. Stop asking about my routines of exchanging bodily fluids with people I am in a relationship with." Face it, the guy is hot, funny and talented. Anybody that can and did do a high-school re-enactment "69" scene in the same movie as one in which he gouges out an eye-ball is weird. Don't ask. Soon we won't care if people are gay, white, rich or anything. We will start talking about what neat, fun things they enjoy. Like pigging out with Anya, watching afternoon soaps….

    Love you!! Both!!

    Anya Blah, blah, blah The Grand Duchess of Blog-Doom

    "Poor little guy"? That's like saying "Poor Taliban guy, he got shot a dozen times!" NO pity for these lazy people. Well if a certain NFL player can kill someone and not get the punishment Vick did for killing a dog, how much trouble would a person get into for gunning down a Pap? Next to none I'm willing to wager.



  28. 28

    Teenage paparazzo? Damn.. I hope it was worth the shot!



  29. 29

    Paps dedicate themselves to making other people's lives miserable. Someone should give the driver a reward.



  30. 30

    im suprised more of those DA's dont get ran over. they are crazzzy!



  31. 31

    hahahahA I THINK U SARCASM PEREZ WILL LAST FOREVER funny story



  32. 32

    This won't cost Robbie a thing, he's a passenger!!
    Robbie is a lovely bloke!!



  33. 33

    You Reap what you Sow



  34. 34

    poor little guy my ass



  35. 35

    I dont know who this guy is but he looks all coked up..lmao! what a bad trip.



  36. 36

    I love RObbie Williams…be nice to him!!!



  37. 37

    *
    Any help ?



  38. 38

    Cry me a fucking river, he should have ran over his fucking skull. Worthless piece of excrement pap.



  39. 39

    I guess he shouldn't have been throwing himself at a moving vehicle… that'll teach him.



  40. 40

  41. 41

    Sorry, no sympathy here for any stinkin' papparazzo.



  42. 42

    The pap should not have gotten in the way. Robbie should not be held responsible if some idiot with a camera has it pressed up against his window. If Robbie is for some stupid reason held responsible, every pap in town will be throwing themselves under the wheels of celebrities' cars and crying for money.



  43. 43

    people are crazy… run over a kid?!



  44. 44

    Ha Ha! The degenerate got what he deserved! Pap's are useless scum of the earth! Kind of like Shitney Spears and Putrid Perez!



  45. 45

    kid should try getting a real job!!!!!!!!!!



  46. 46

    ouch! look at the pic they got of him….he looks scary!

  47. epic says – reply to this


    47

    sorry, but i can't see that it's the fault of wiliams. don't try to make heroize paps - guess they don't deserve it. yes, i'm sorry for the boy, but i bet it was his own fault.



  48. 48

    Boo hoo.

  49. ap076 says – reply to this


    49

    There is no fault for Robbie here (but a check on the "victim" would have been nice). The driver too will likely not be at fault if they got in the way of his ability to drive (this is different from accelerating from a stop and purposefully running someone down). Hard to have any sympathy for the Paps, but I do feel when celebrities are out in public they are fair game, but perhaps the Paps should consider the car an extension of the home. A place for privacy and the pic is not worth the risk of loosing your lives.



  50. 50

    Ummm am I the only one that thinks if this kids LEGS BOTH WERE RAN OVER he would have a liiiiittle bit more than "minor injuries"????!!!!!! Buncha crap



  51. 51

    Isnt it his fault for shoving his fail face into the car for some monies?



  52. 52

    Run with the dogs…run over with the dogs



  53. 53

    It's much more entertaining when celebs attack bloggers with their fists. Tick tock, tick tock, time for another beating, Pumpkinhead.



  54. 54

    I think it's crazy that you think a celebrity should be held accountable when a pap gets so close to their car they can be run over! If you want to stay safe, take pics of the celebs when they aren't inside a moving deadly object. I understand freedom of the press (and since he was a teenager is he even part of the press?) and all but if photographers are going to jump in front of cars like that is it really the driver's responsibility to swerve to miss them? Plus, I really wouldn't be surprised if some of these people try to get hit for the money fromt he celebs!



  55. 55

    Maybe eventually the paps will learn to get real jobs and leave people alone. It's no different than shooting an intruder, as far as I'm concerned.



  56. 56

    one of the first thing i learned was you don't stand infront or near a moving car, they pull risky shit to get a pic and then sue when the risky move proves….risky. dumbasses



  57. 57

    good. maybe if more paparazzi got hit by cars for illegally standing in the way, they'd gtfo. if you *don't move* and are standing in front of a car (like we've seen them box in britney spears in parking lots from leaving) then yes, you deserve to be run over.
    I'm sorry that it was a teenager though.



  58. 58

    There need to be laws against paparazzi. If a pap (no matter the age, race, ethnicity, what-have-you) gets in the way of a vehicle that's trying to move and gets hit or run over, the driver nor anyone in the vehicle should be responsible (unless, of course, a pap was purposely run over/hit). The paps put themselves in harms way just to get a stupid picture and I'm sure some of them put themselves in harms way on purpose to try get a lawsuit and some extra bucks.

    And yeah, yeah, yeah I know the paps come with being a celebrity. But all paps do is harass the celebrities and also inconvenience innocent bystanders when they're crowing a sidewalk or jumping in the way of cars. Sometimes they even put innocent lives in danger by chasing celebrities down roads and highways in their cars (some of the paps that have done this were unlicensed!), weaving in and out traffic, holding up traffic and sometimes even hitting people/their cars.

    Most paps are scum and need to learn a little respect. Life does not revolve around celebrities and most people don't care that you saw Miley Cyrus shoveling food into her mouth at some restaurant or Nicole Ritchie walking down the street. I don't know why mags or other agencies would want to buy pics like that anyway.



  59. 59

    Why would they sue Robbie Williams? He wasn't the one driving. If anyone should be sued it's the driver. Since when do passengers get sued for a drivers stupidity? Perez you are on a role with your weird ideas. First you say Miley should pay for take-out and now you say Robbie should pay for his driver's mistakes. Today is just not your day, Mario….



  60. 60

    Why couldn't the kid see the car even if he was trying to get that big money pic? I would think he could have seen through the lens. I don't know - just that it is a bad situation all around. Of course Williams was upset who wouldn't be? Why couldn't the driver see him? Another thing how did the kid end up on the ground in the first place to be ran over? Was this kid pushed or trampled by other photogs?



  61. 61

    Fuck the Paps!!, those fuckers deserve to be hit. Paps need a life, I'd beat those fuckers too!



  62. 62

    Let's set the record straight, the fact that Robbie williams was crying when the kid got hit, means that he was just as shocked as anyone. He did leave the car, after it all calmed down a bit. He's a decent man, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped making him out to be the bad guy.

    He wasn't the one driving the car, he didn't give the order to do it. So stop acting as if there's no blame to the kid and it's all robbie's doing.

    The reason why you're all on the paps side is because you are one, yourself and it's well known that scum sticks together. Of course you'll be the one rooting for the kid because we all know that if this event had been taken place in LA you would've been right there.

    A reporter, not that we can actually call you one Perez, writes the facts. Not their opinions and what they think happened.

    And oh yes, there are programs that allow you to edit pictures and put text on pictures so you can stop using paint.
