"CSI" A-Hole Explains Attack: "I Fired Him"

46. Maybe the Paparazzi should, oh I dunno, leave him alone. Go Follow around Paris she lives for this kinda stuff and leave the real actors alone.

47. Note to all celebrities: If you want to avoid the paparrazi then stay away from the nightclubs on Hollywood and Sunset Blvds. Stay away from Robertson, Beverly, and Melrose Blvds. Don't go to these places unless you have business there. There is no way you are going to meet your agent or a studio executive at Hyde at 2 a.m. in the morning.

Quit complaining about a situation that you purposely put yourself into.

Oh - By the way...Gary Dourdan is a Punk-ss -ss B-tch!!!

48. TMZ? or Enquirer? Hmmmm... Do I hear Lawsuit for a really good case of Libel? There is nothing here suggesting any sort of violence took place and TMZ, you are now off my list of favourites. At least with the Enquirer we all know it's crap and now TMZ's gone down the same path. I hope Mr. Dourdan sues your proverbial collective stalkerazzi *sses off.

49. I don't think he should have hit the photographer the way that he did.

50. Hey TMZ! Are you happy now? Of course you are! This is exactly the kind of stuff you tell your people to do; jam your cameras in people's faces and get the reaction. I'll bet all the execs back at TMZ headquarters are laughing all the way to the bank. Let's see... will you be loyal to your cameraman who is trying to earn a living? Give him money for any damages to his gear? No, I'm sure you won't. You'll sit there like a coward in your air conditioned cubicles, away from reality and turn your back on him and yet ANOTHER harassed celebrity. How about an appology to, not only Gary Dourdan, but any and all celebrities that your cameramen assault on a regular basis. Probably not. Let's get it straight people. The real bad guy here isn't the cameraman nor the celebrity, it's TMZ, National Enquirer, US, People etc. They're all in their safe cubicles watching their bank accounts get fat. They have absolutely no intention of being responsible for their actions/orders. ANYONE would have had the same reaction to a camera being shoved in their face. Especially if and when that happens EVERYWHERE they go. Think about who needs to shoulder the blame, the soldier in the field or the fat politician on his yacht sipping on his martini. I hope all that all who read this put yourselves in a celebrities shoes. Really now... How WOULD you react if pushy cameramen followed your every move every day and night and were constanly interfering with your private life/family/loved ones? These aren't politicians we're talking about. They're celebrities. They're human and we didn't elect them. They don't owe you or I a thing. Get a clue! TMZ Cameramen: Just because you have a camera doesn't mean you can be excluded from combat. Take a man pill and quit your whining. Hey TMZ Execs! You put your harassing cameramen in MY face... I'm coming straight to your cubicle to ruin your day!

51. Never heard of the actor, never watch the show. My sympathy goes to the photog. No one, no one, has the right to physically assault another human unless their life or physical well being is at stake. At that point, they are defending themselves. If the basically unknown actor doesn't want to be photographed in his off hours, don't go to the most popular clubs in LA where the paps hang out. I hope charges are filed against the actor.

53. DAYUMMMM TMZ is still at it with this story, please put it to rest and move on, photogs get what they deserve man.

54. Why is this guy referred to as a "a-hole"? Because he attacked a paparazzi? Makes him a hero in my book. They are the lowest form of life as they sit and prey on celebrities and even annoy them to get a photo of them. I support a law that says celebrities are allowed to shoot dead any paparazzi that harrasses them or steps one foot on their prperty. The nerve of this site to call someone a a-hole who was doing a service. i wished i was there, I would have been happy to fionish off the job. because a dead paparrazzi is a good paparazzi.

55. Maybe if the a-hole camerman stopped invading people's lives by sticking his frigging camera in everybody's face this wouldn't happen. You are all simply the Low Art Gloominati.

56. People always like to embark on the negative side of life instead of the positive. Stars are people to and they deserve to have some privacy. If the camera man would have listened to Gary's initial request and automatically got the camera out of his face this unfortunate situation would not have occured. Respect is earned not given and this camera man was very disrespectful to Gary's request so why should anyone be shocked about Gary's behavior.
