Photog Sues Debbie Rowe

A photographer who had a physical run-in with Debbie Rowe back in July is now suing Michael Jackson's ex-wife in small claims court.

Debbie Rowe: Click to watch
It's all over an incident that went down in front of a Chinese restaurant in Lancaster, California right after MJ died -- in which a swarm of paparazzi swarmed Rowe asking about the kids. Rowe lashed out at one photog, "Are you ready to have your butt kicked?"

Now, that photog, Ed Frommer, wants $7,500 in damages from Rowe -- claiming she lied to police, telling them he scratched her face, pulled her arm and struck her in the back.

Frommer tells us, "You can see from the video, I didn't touch her face" adding, "anything that happened was not intentional."

Frommer claims his reputation has taken some serious hits from the incident and he can't get work. The hearing is scheduled for January.

Sorry 'bout your luck, fella! Debbie kept telling them to keep their distance and this guy didn't. Yeah, she might be exxagerating the situation but the aggravation right after Michael's death was uncalled for and inappropriate. I can't stand the paparazzi! More of them need to lose work until they decide they can respect celebrities.

It's your own fault for being there. Debbie should sue you.

I wish the media would leave this woman alone. She's made peace with her past and hasn't spoken one negative word about Michael Jackson or anyone ever. She could have made millions of dollars with interviews or by writing a tell-all book. She just wants to be left alone. She has a right to privacy.

Obviously, SOMETHING happened to make her yell at him not to touch her, and who knows what happened before? The camera doesn't show that. The fact that he said 'anything that happened was unintentional' also says that he did do something. What a prick, why can't these people just leave this grieving family alone? Typical paparazzi amoral behavior.

The desperate punk pap should have been pursuing someone in Hollywood rather than the grief-stricken mother of Mjs older children who chose to live in isolation out in the desert. DR should have led the pap to her ranch and let the ranch hands castrate him!

She should have kicked that paps but and not just said it. He probably can't get work because he's not that good. I saw the way the paps surrounded her. It was scary to say the least. Vermin!
