Lily Allen attacks a paparazzo
Lily Allen attacked a paparazzo in London .
The 23-year-old singer punched, kicked and threw a water bottle at the
photographer after he drove into her car as she arrived at a recording
studio.
An onlooker told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: "The guy’s car nudged
Lily's and the next thing anyone knew she was out and flailing. Her security
team had to pull her off.
"She was punching and kicking. She's not someone who will take something
like that lying down. She certainly let the bloke know what she thought of
him."
Lily's spokesman said the car crash had caused her "extreme distress and
shock".
He added: "There were seven vehicles pursuing her – 14 photographers – and
they even shot a red light."
Fans fear the attack might put Lily's upcoming US tour in jeopardy. If the
feisty singer is charged with assault, she will not be granted an American
work visa.
Fellow British star Amy Winehouse has been forced to cancel an appearance at
the Coachella Festival in California next month because she can't get a
visa.
It's not the first time 'The Fear' singer has lashed out at photographers.
She was arrested in 2007 after she punched a snapper outside a London club,
leaving him with a bloody nose. She received a police caution over the
incident.
