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

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.

61. He was a TMZ photographer?

Some celeb will eventually sue Time-Warner (TMZ's parent company).

62. I think I should sue TMZ for wasting the past 3 minutes of my life. What a joke Harvey Levin is.

63. I'm not shedding any tears for the z. If the paps are within arms length, they're TOO close.

65. It doesn't appear that you understand, we really don't care what happens to the paps. Hit'em, smack'em, knock'em down. Just couldn't care less.

71. I didnt see anything, and I didnt read your story first, because I wanted to judge it clearly.
I wish you would have video taped more. Your camera man called him a angry racist, what did he say?

72. That is AWESOME! The pap's deserve it. If it were me, I would make him and Cameron Diaz look like saints! They should get a real job. Buut on the other side, I read this site and 4 others like it every day....go figure! ( :

74. I think the paps are the obnoxious losers in high school who have gotten older, but not grown-up. If they did, they would have a real job and wouldn't be trying to provoke a celebrity into doing something they obviously wouldn't do otherwise. That guy is real lucky...I think if Brad Garrett really wanted to hurt him, he could have done a lot worse.

I don't give the TMZ guy any pass here, he has a job where he knows he's going to be around a bunch of rude individuals trying to create a story. You don't want to be lumped in with the rest of them and get retaliated against, then find a different profession.

75. I have always enjoyed Garrett's performances but that was before discovering today that he is a giant jerk. He was angry because one photog was scorning him about his contemptible racist remarks but rather than confront his accuser and unleash his anger on the photog who was scorning him, he assaulted one of the photogs who was silent and saying nothing. It appears Garrett is more a rageful brute than the gentle giant he is perceived to be, the sort of rageful brute who when angered strikes first the one closest to him rather than going after the one who angers him. You know the type, the type who takes his anger at the chef out on the waitress and the type who smacks his wife and children around after he has had a bad day at the office. He is no gentle giant but rather a giant jerk deserving nothing but contempt. No way will I ever again be able to enjoy and laugh at the adorable character he portrays on stage and television sitcoms. He is garbage!
