A Better Look at the Brad Garrett B*tch-Slap

Posted Aug 13th 2007 5:04PM by TMZ Staff

He launched his violent attack just out of the range of our camera, but it turns out someone else was rolling when Brad Garrett unleashed a light-shattering uppercut on a TMZ camera in Malibu last night.


In the footage shot by a photog further away from the action, you can clearly see the 6'8" "Everybody Loves Raymond" star reach down and sucker-slap the camera in front of a crowd of paparazzi, knocking the equipment back into the photog's face. Keep your eye on the light attached to the top of the camera -- Brad knocks it clear out of the frame.

A rep for Garrett had no comment.

32. Quit getting in peoples faces with your damn cameras. You taunt and dare them to do something so you can film it. Knock it off!

33. you guys are a total joke. could you exagerate a little more? your writers have very active imaginations because they clearly see somethign in this video that the rest of us don't. how about you try to get your shot from a reasonable distance and ask legitimate questions instead of just trying to provoke a reaction.

34. Well its obvious from that angle that the camera never even touched that cameraman's face, despite the fact that he immediately claims he's injured.

I'll bet you twenty to one that idiot showed up at the emergency room with some red marks he gave himself.

If he filed a false police report that photographer should be charged.

35. lmfao, I personally think it's cool that TMZ has been getting
bitchslapped, besmirched, anally raped and piledrived by celebrity
these days. With all the tech available to you bastards these days
you *have* to get up and into the faces and crotches of celebrity.
Well deserved you salad tossers.

36. Well, there are so many roles for a Jackie Gleason impersonator, and who knows when he will be able to tag along on some other comedians coat tails again. Someday he is going to look back on the day when anybody was interested in him, and wish that he had just taken the time to smell the attention.

37. Paparazzis always complain about celebrities. They say something like: " being stalked goes with the job of being a celebrity and famous people should get used to it". Well I say that getting slapped goes with the job of being a professional stalker and you hypocrites should learn to live with it. Have a good day, get hit, and I hope it hurts.

38. I would have done the same thing! Violent attack?? Give me a break! He just didn't want that all up in his face.

You guys try to make stories out of absolutely nothing!

39. So why would any Paps want to get shots of this second bananna? Gosh they must be getting desperate with Lohan out of the scene for anybody. The guy is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Guess it makes sense to try to make the whole incident a big deal so we dont question why you're filming him in the first place. We're not interested in seeing him in a parking lot nor anywhere for that matter. Leave him and every other second fruit alone.

40. Who is TMZ trying to embarrass by showing this? All of Hollywood hates them and the readers see the paparazzi have turned into dangerous stalkers. So what was the point TMZ?

41. If you dont want the pictures why are you on the sight?
Still, what Brad did was nothing-dont make a mountain out of a molehill TMZ-

42. Look you stalk these celebs as much as you do and you deserve to be pushed back from time to time. I personally don't blame the celebs.

43. Who the hell is Brad Garrett?????????????????????????????

44. Serious overexaggeration on the headline TMZ -- anyone who watches the video will see that he hardly b**ch slapped anyone or anything. He knocked the pap's camera out of his way, nothing more. No wonder you're getting all the angry comments in support of Brad G.

45. When will celebrities EVER learn that when you become famous you lose your privacy? Hey, I wouldn't mind losing my privacy for all the residual checks he gets from his ex-tv show. Brad, get over yourself!
