Joel Madden: Woman Beater?

Nicole Richie

According to our friends over at TMZ: Beverly Hills Police Department is investigating rocker Joel Madden, after a female photographer filed a "crime report" claiming he attacked her during a violent confrontation Sunday night.

According to police sources, the woman claimed Madden struck her on the left breast "with the heel of his hand" as the rocker tried to escort his girlfriend, Nicole Richie, out of the back door of Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills.

The photographer told TMZ that she has a welt to prove it, and had to see a doctor for treatment.

Madden can be seen throwing a forceful, open-handed stiff-arm into the chest of another paparazzo, moments after the alleged incident.

A rep for Madden had no comment.

Honestly I don't think this whole thing was an accident and the female photographer is going a little overboard. I'm sure he didn't do it intentionally. What do you guys think?

I think the photographers are way too pushy and he was just trying to protect Nicole. These people won't even let them get in their car, and stand in front of the car when they try to drive away. He never got into any trouble when he was with Hilary Duff, and I doubt he is causing any problems now. This lady wouldn't get a welt like that from him using his palm. If he really wanted to assault her, he would have done a lot more than that!
