Britney Spears Sued

Posted May 29th 2009 3:00PM by TMZ Staff

Britney Spears is being sued by the photog who got run over ... and we got the whole thing on tape.

Britney Spears: Click to watch
Rick Mendoza was a casualty of Britney's Mercedes as she was pulling out of a Beverly Hills parking structure in 2007.

In his lawsuit, Mendoza says Britney's people -- who are also defendants -- "should have known...Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."

She ran over his foot ... and it did look painful.

FOOTnote: TMZ auctioned off his sock.

3. That's BS (pun intended)! I saw the video on youtube and the pap was basically ASKING to be hit. He wouldn't move the hell out of her way! And it was obvious she did it on accident, too.

6. Sue happy world. People need to take responsibility for their stupidity, in this case its the photog.

7. I don't think this is Britney's fault and it doesn't matter if it WAS painful. When you refuse you move you are in danger of getting hit.

9. So sick of this, people wanting a quick f*in payday. The paps swarm around the cars just waiting to be hit, trying to envoke anger so they get a better shot, and then they force the stars to waste more of our legal systems time. a$$holes.

11. If the paparazzi are stupid enough to get that close to a moving car they deserve to get run over.

12. Good God poeple!!! Leave her alone!! I bet the idiot got hit by her car because they were trying to get "that photo shot!" They should not be able to sue her because they got hit and couldn't give her and her car enough space! You know they make lenses with some pretty damn good zoom features, why don't these numb-nuts learn how to use it! Putting yourself intentionally in harms way and then suing the person who harms you sounds like fraud and seems totally unfair to the celebrities! GIVE THEM SPACE!!!!!!!!
