Celebrity Justice
Photog Brutally Attacked Outside ESPY Afterparty

Panic and violence erupted on the streets of Hollywood last night after a brutal late night attack left a celeb photographer unconscious and convulsing outside of an ESPY Awards after party.

The fight began after two random jerks decided to act as Rumer Willis' bodyguards as she made her way out of Skybar and then allegedly got violent with paparazzi. According to witnesses on scene, one of the men allegedly tripped a photographer who was attempting to take pix of the star. As the stunned shutterbug got up and tried to identify the culprit, we're told another friend of the wannabe-bodyguards grabbed the photog by the head and slammed him to the ground head first, knocking him out and causing convulsions.

TMZ cameras caught sound of the attack and the immediate aftermath. You see another photog got nuts on the evildoers with his fists. Cops arrived shortly after and the man who allegedly slammed the photog to the ground were arrested.

The snapper was rushed to a hospital, where he was treated for three cracked ribs, a possibly dislocated shoulder and a concussion.

16. Did you refer to Rumer Willis as a star? What has she done except be born to a famous family? (Kinda like Paris)She is certainly not worth getting beat up over and she is Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's most unattractive daughter.

18. Good for them. It sucks that they took it too far, but the photog's think that since celebrities are putting themselves out there in the public spotlight that they can harrass them and take pictures whether they want them to or not. Well, the flip side is true..if they can harrass celebrities then celebrities (or their "bodyguards") can kick their ass.

19. Like father, like daughter.

This is serious stuff, though. That photog is in bad shape; this doesn’t look like a little scuffle. Rumer Willis better pay for those hospital bills and get started on some damage control ASAP. She could turn this into a good thing, if she plays it right.

I hope the guy is okay.

20. Rumer Willis a star?? Since when does having the of luck (good or bad) being born to wealthy famous parents make you a star? She hasn't done anything yet except spend her parents money and hang out at clubs.

21. These Paparazis’s deserve a good beaten. They are vultures and act like they are above the law and have total disregard for public safety just to get a picture. I would to see the real celeb bodyguards beat on these varmants more often, or do we need aother Princess Diana again?

28. Everyone is at fault.. Rumer should have a paid keeper and the photo men should accept a no.

29. After a beat-down of this magnitude, that photog still got the pictures? What WON'T photogs do for a celebrity picture? Maybe he set this up himself. I saw "Paparazzi."

30. Rumer Willis is a talentless, unattractive piec e of garbage trying to ride on the coattails of her parents' celebrity

We need some new blood and real talent in Hollywood- not opportunities for useless celeb children trying to get attention
