TMZ‘s snitches photographers that they personally ask to get in celebs faces in annoying ways so they will freak out and the site can secure some decent footage finally have scored AGAIN!
On Wednesday Woody Harrelson who already smacked up a TMZ photogrpaher in 2006 was at an airport in New York on Wednesday when he was involved in some sort of scuffle with a paparazzi on the scene. But Woodie has something for their asses (no pun, we promise…) – he’s claiming that since he just finished shooting a movie called Zombieland, he thought the guy was actually a Zombie and he was just doing his part to keep the earth safe from space invaders. CNN reports:
“I wrapped a movie called ‘Zombieland,’ in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character,” Harrelson said in a statement issued Friday by his publicist. “With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie,” he said.
TMZ.com posted two videos of the incident, including one recorded by the larger camera before it was damaged. The first video shows the photographer following Harrelson and his daughter down an escalator and out of the terminal. It ends with Harrelson apparently reaching for the lens. The second video begins with the photographer accusing Harrelson of breaking his camera. After Harrelson returns the camera to him, a scuffle appears to ensue.
“Woody, this is assault. Woody, this is assault,” the photographer is heard saying. “Woody, chill out. Would you please chill out?”
The photographer continues to follow Harrelson for another four minutes as the actor and his daughter walk to the airport parking lot. At one point, Harrelson again turns toward the cameraman.
“I’m being chased by Woody Harrelson while I’m talking to you,” the photographer says as he talks to an unidentified person on a cell phone.
“He hit me in my face, he broke my friggin’ camera, he broke the camera in pieces,” he said. Harrelson, his daughter and a driver get inside an SUV and the encounter ends.

He did nothing wrong! F**k the paparazzi!
I’d still smash Woody.
I saw the footage and the man was clearly harassing him. He could have took his pic and kept it moving but he was tryna start something. Some of these stars need to take note from that paparazzi movie
