Security Gets Smackdown, Thanks to Scarlett

Protecting Scarlett Johansson was a tad rough for the security team at Osteria Mozza last night, when one of them ended up getting knocked on his ass.



TMZ was in the back parking lot of the restaurant as the busty "Match Point" star tried to sneak out. Restaurant security surrounded her car and tried to block the shot, with the staff urging paps to "step back off the property." One guard got too close to one photog and got shoved to the ground, setting off a screaming match.

Sensing it was a good distraction, Scarlett took the opportunity to make her escape -- hidden in the back seat of the car as it pulled away.

4. That's not Scarlett's security. The guy who gets pushed is David Rosoff the mousey, annoying, low level manager. Trust me he had it coming. This guy has been annoying both customers and photogs for weeks. He's been the subject of numerous complaints and finally got a taste of his own medicine. Payback is a bitch David.

5. i'm no fan of the paps but that manager/whatever had it coming. isn't your job to "manage" the situation, not make matters worse? try taking a class in conflict resolution, f-tard. the video shows the pap wasn't on the property, but you had to act like a big shot b/c you thought you had the numbers.

i've been to mozza, and the chaos on the inside reflects this chaos on the inside. it's too bad b/c the food is pretty good. do nancy silverton and mario battali realize what amateurs they're hiring. maybe that whiny bald-headed tool should pay a visit to babbo (or the cheesecake factory) and see how it's done.

6. Scarlett needs to get over herself. She's not that huge a star and she's never had a hit movie.

9. I'll take the word of a few posts that say the little big man was David Rosoff the um manager.
He needs to be fired, his actions were uncalled for and unnecessary and could have brought a tragic ending, in fact all of them need training in how to deal with such situations, Or stay inside where they should have been.
Scarlett is not all that important! But I got the feeling it wasn't about Scarlett but a ego.

10. Off the Property! Off the Property! Off the Property! Bam. Ahh ha ha ha ha. Maybe you should go back in the restaurant, pour some wine and leave the tough guy stuff to the real security guards.

11. Yeah, David Rosoff - I remember him. I ate there one night and that bald little guy (actually the restaurant manager) was giving this poor guy a hard time after the valets totalled his car. had "little man syndrome. He needed to get pushed on his ass.

14. Scarlett is a chubby, skanky, untalented bitch...what's the need for security?

15. That guy used to run Michael's I think. He thinks he's some kind of maffioso. I love watching people do anything to get a little attention when a celebrity is around. It just goes to show how stupid and overrated Mozza is. You're not running Hyde moron, it's a pizza joint!
