By ANIThursday, August 20, 2009
MELBOURNE - R ‘n’ B singer Beyonce’s visit to the Croatian coastal resort of Dubrovnik is said to have ended with one of her bodyguards coming to blows with a local paparazzo.
According to the online edition of the Jutarnji List daily, footage showed Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay-Z heading to a boat anchored in the medieval port, while the bodyguard kicked a 57-year-old Croatian cameraman in the back several times, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Private television station RTL showed images of the incident on August 18, including journalists chasing the pop star down Dubrovnik’s narrow streets despite her bodyguard’s protests.
The footage also showed that before getting back on the boat, the bodyguard knocked the journalist’s video camera to the ground, and then laid into the man himself.
The cameraman then hit the bodyguard in the back with his tripod, and the latter angrily responded by throwing it in the Adriatic Sea.
Police said they were investigating the incident. (ANI)

Good. It’s his job to eliminate any threats to his client so he did the right thing. Beyonce shouldn’t be chased around when she’s on holiday, journalists should show some respect! Talk to her when she’s at an awards ceremony, try and call her, if she’s free maybe she’ll talk. If they’re that keen maybe people should hire a musician who sings and looks like Beyonce and just pretend it’s her. Or if you’ve got a spare few million, I’m sure she’ll be happy to appear at Christmas parties in London. Just cut her some slack for now and let her live her life. |
