Britney Sued for Squishing a Shutterbug
If nothing else, Britney Spears has never been accused of stepping on anybody’s toes.
A grieved paparazzo has sued the Circus star for rolling over his foot with her Mercedes convertible in 2007, a headline-grabber that was captured on video and was one of a trio of incidents in which a vehicle being driven by Spears left a tire tread on someone’s tootsy, including one belonging to a sheriff’s deputy.
Shutterbug Ricardo Mendoza, who was employed by TMZ at the time, did not press charges; instead, he filed a lawsuit Friday claiming assault, battery and negligence.
Spears “intentionally, deliberately, wantonly, maliciously and with a conscious disregard for the rights, health, and safety of others” drove her car in a way that caused her to “drive, push, ram and/or barrel through a crowd of people…severely injuring plaintiff,” the complaint states.
