Gary Coleman Wife -- Rear Ender Offender

Posted Sep 19th 2008 9:30AM by TMZ Staff

So Gary Coleman is being sued by the guy he allegedly nailed with his truck -- not surprising. The Salt Lake Tribune got the docs, and the guy's account of what happened at the bowling alley is hilarious.

Colt Rushton was taking cell phone pics of Coleman in the next lane when Gary's bodyguard came over and told him he'd have to pay $20 per picture if he kept shooting.

It got ugly later, when Colt tried taking a snap of Gary's truck. Rushton says he was "attacked, without warning, from behind" by Gary's wife and the bodyguard. Then, the big guy (Coleman) himself came over and walloped him in the chest "repeatedly" and then drove the truck into him.

Bad move if he runs for Guv again.

16. Im sorry but they need to make a law stating that taking pics without a persons permission to make money should be illegal...... Oh wait it already is! everyone else ont he planet has to sign a release before pics can be published anywhere so why are celebrities exempt? For all the people that continually say that the law has to be applyed fairly and evenly to everyone then why is it ok for the celebrities to be stalked and photographed against thier will!
If some stranger took my picture or anyone in my families without my permission you better bet I'd be in thier face along with calling the cops. Of course I probably wouldnt run them over with a truck but assault them I would!

17. His parents squandered his fortune, so what the heck do you expect him to do?

No one would want to take your picture, You are a nobody. The "Celebs" are people that are famous for one thing or another, and the paps and pictures are completely legal.

21. Its too bad that Gary, being a little guy, couldn't have simply beat the crap out of the guy. I feel sorry for Gary. Some people think they have the right to harrass Gary for some reason. He had trouble years ago with another person, a woman, who got mad at Gary because he didn't want to take a picture with her either. No wonder Coleman seems like an angry guy. He can't catch a break.

25. I'm surprised anyone would even want a picture, the guy hasn't done anything of any substance in years and is a has been, had his 30 minutes and who cares anyway. If you put yourself in the public arena then what do you expect. Celebrities crave the attention and Coleman's loving this exposure. He can't act, adds no redeeming qualities to the human experience and just constantly seems to be in a negative space...bodyguard, what a joke.
