Paparazzi King Gets Face Bashed In

Posted Nov 17th 2006 11:45AM by TMZ Staff

E.L. Woody -- Click to WatchBlood streamed down the face of "Celebrities Uncensored" paparazzi guru E.L. Woody after a late night argument turned violent outside of Area nightclub in Hollywood.

It all went down as Brody Jenner exited the club, smiling and waving to waiting shutterbugs. While Woody photographed him, a random clubgoer approached and began shouting, "What are you doing? You don't need to shoot him, leave him alone." According to Woody, the man then broke a microphone off of another photog's camera.

Woody says he quickly approached the attacker and told him that he would have to pay for the damaged camera. That's when things got bloody. According to Woody, the man then grabbed another mic and smashed Woody in the face with it, opening a bloody gash above his left eye.

Private security quickly threw the alleged attacker in handcuffs and tossed him in the back of a security vehicle, while a battered Woody screamed at him. "Look what you did to my face? If you can't handle your liquor, you shouldn't be out! I don't care who you are, you're going to jail!"

E.L. Woody is scheduled to undergo a CATscan at a local hospital and will get stiches later today. Woody tells TMZ he will definitely file charges.

Posted at 11:59AM on Nov 17th 2006 by Now he will get payed.

3. E.L Woody is a moron. He loved the attention no matter how bashed up his face is. He deserves it for being such a F'in stalker. How many times did he say "Did you see what you did to me" umm we don't care and actually I think it's funny as hell. Rot in hell E.L Woody cuz no one cares. It was probably fake blood that E.L Woody had in his pocket anyway so people would feel sorry for him. L.O.S.E.R.= E.L. Woody

5. OH, BOO HOO HOO! That's a scratch and he needs a CAT scan, what a f***ing p***y. He should of had his head beaten into the curb, that would of been a case for a scan. I like the photo, he doesn't even take his glasses off and poses for the cameras, a fake, phony and a fraud, period.

7. That random guy probably thought Brody would want to hang out and be friends after that. He was just looking to be famous. What a dumb f***.

8. Love them or hate them. THe guy is just doing his job. Everyone of you on here has bought or looked at picture this guy has taken of some celebrity. WHAT A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES !!!

He did not deserved to be attacked like that. Shame on all of you. As a celebrity part of the territory is " getting your picture taken " even when you may not want it. You give up your privacy. It's all part of the package. You don't like it........get into another profession. There is no excuse for behavior like that.

THe drunken fool who attacked this guy needs to be taught a lesson. I hope he gets fined and they throw his ass in jail. What if that had been a female " photographer ". ?? Come one. We're not a pack of savages here.

Just put a towel over your face and walk away if you don't like your picture taken. For heaven sakes. Act civilized. Violence isn't the answer.

9. Too bad more Paps are not assaulted! Maybe then they would stop stalking these people. It is wrong what most of them do to the celebrities. It is disgusting!

10. I had a drunk take a swing at me at closing time at a club years ago , I knocked his ass out flat , One punch , Luckily the security guards saw the whole thing cause the a**hole wanted to press charges against me ! Sure we hate the paps but they bring the stuff alot of us crave or else they wouldn't do it . If it was a boom mike than it could really F*kin hurt to get hit with it . I can't hate this pap just 'cause he's a pap . Dickheads .

11. He might be scum, but if the subject (Jenner) is a willing to be photographed then stupid drunk ass should not have hit him. Woody should press charges for assault, He simply wasn't doing anything wrong.

12. The bottom line is, it was assault, no matter how you cut it. The Photog has a right to be there, the clubgoer has a right to be there, but the club goer has no right to beat someone over the head with a makeshift weapon. No matter how drunk, how stupid, or how "in the right" he felt he was, there is just no excuse for that kind of behaviour. If I were the victim in this circumstance, I would prosecute to the full extent of the law and go after every dime of damages I could.

13. All though I know a blow to the head can get your adrenalin flowing and possibly spurt out some vulgarity....................BUT......................Is it just me, or did it come across to anybody else that Woody was the aggressor? I mean he kept on and on and on with the issue. (just my opinion) But I think Woody pushed the guy over the edge and he got popped for it. The majority of the paparazzi do go beyond their limits just to get a good shot for publicity. I say he may be lucky it wasn't worse than what it was.
It doesn't mean that I condone it though

14. HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S HIS LEFT EYE YOU F***ING IDIOTS.

15. It seems that E. L. Woody is the agressor, the instigator. This guys doesn't need a CAT scan he needs a band aid, forget about stitches. He sure is talking a lot for someone that has been assaulted. If Woody was really in pain, then he would be lying down instead of standing up, pointing fingers, and screaming. The guy who allegedly hit him seems very calm. He isn't shouting back.

"Look at what you did to my face". Get over yourself. You sound like Nancy Kerrigan when she got hit and shouted "why me" but when Woody does it he sounds like 100 times more the girlie.

This is an occupational hazard. Woody is a stalker with a camera. Please don't even claim to be a journalist.

This would like to see the video showing what happened leading up to Woody's scratch.
