Jude Law Attacks Photographer

It's been a while since we've heard about a celebrity attacking a paparazzi, but thanks to Jude Law, we have something to talk about this morning.

Jude reportedly attacked a female photog outside London club Automat in the early hours of Thursday morning. But he calls it an "accident." How do you accidentally attack someone?

The unnamed woman began taking photos of Jude just as he started to leave the nightclub, which is when the attack happened. She claims that Jude hit her on her head and slapped her across the face. The entire incident was caught by another paparazzi's camera.

The photographer tells British newspaper the Evening Standard, "He hit me full on the face, it was a real stinger, it was very sore.”

Now Jude is claiming that he entire thing is a misunderstanding because it was just an accident. He claims he got confused because of all the flashing lights.

A statement from his lawyer, Graham Shear, reads, "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 apologized and left. Pictures of this sort can often be misleading."

Sounds like a case of he-said, she-said. We're going to have to take a look at the other pap's photos to determine who's telling the truth. Who do you believe? Jude or the pap?

I believe Jude. These paps are always crowding around and quite frequently hit and get hit by accident.

I totally see it how he could've shielded himself and hit the girl cause remember what you see when camera's are flashing? right – nothing, only flashes! so this is impossible to say anything from this pics, he could've hit her or just accidentally put his hand her way and hit her but not like on purpose

I'd say Jude probably has a film or show or something coming out soon that he will need to promote. Gotta make sure the spotlight is on before you start promoting whatever it is that's coming out.

No opinion until the film is viewed. If it did happen, it was probably deserved.

If Jude did not he should have. These rude people should be stopped from bothering stars. Someone needs to stop them. They are the scum of the earth. Leave the stars and normal people alone and get a real job.

Of course they are going to try and cover it up. But I wouldn't doubt it if the photographer is just trying to make things worst. Who to believe?
