Photog: MJ-Obsessed Attackers Waited for Me

Posted Nov 24th 2009 3:54PM by TMZ Staff

The photographer who says he was attacked by angry Michael Jackson fans is finally telling his side of the story -- claiming his attackers were "laying in wait."

Ed Frommer: Click to watch
The photog, Ed Frommer, claims he was "jabbed" with a baseball bat several times by three MJ fans over a defamation lawsuit he filed against Debbie Rowe. The lawsuit stems from an encounter between Frommer and Rowe that went down in front of a Chinese food restaurant back in July.

Photog: MJ-Obsessed Attackers Waited for MeAs we first reported, Frommer claims three men pulled him out of his car in Lancaster, Ca and began screaming "leave Debbie alone" -- while shoving a bat in his chest.

Frommer doesn't think Debbie put the men up to it -- but he warns he's taken "precautions" to ensure it doesn't happen again.

5. It's "Lying in wait." Objects "lay."

And of course, he could be lying.

6. what a pile of rubbish. Most MJ fans don't even like Debbie Rowe; so why would they put themselves at risk to do stuff like that? Just trying to get sympathy for his day in court, I'd say.

9. Good that's what he gets know he knows how it feels when he basicly stocks people..I am not debbies biggest fan but she gave MJ 2 wonderful children..I am sure he would not want debbie harmed or anyone else harmed but I say if they were MJ fans good..he should know that the Fans are going to start taking matter into their own hands..soon Murray..and a few other people..paps have no respect for anything or anyone.. so why should they get the good treatment? perhaps this Pap can get a real job..But now that I think about it Debbie could kick his ass with her pinky finger..lol but for the "FANS" LEAVE DEBBIE ALONE...MJ would want r left alone..

11. This is not a photographer, this is a digusting, bottom feeding, scum-sucking PARASITE! When you have nasty bugs around, you take care of them....so its ok to whack, poison, stab, shoot, suffocate, skin, drown, or kill in any imaginable fashion....JUST GET RID OF THEM, PERMANENTLY!

12. here you go again tmz. starting crap. if you watch the video the guy says at the end he doesn't know if they were mj fans or debbie fans or either. just starting crap.

Posted at 4:30PM on Nov 24th 2009 by kim

13. CAN ANYONE SAY LOOSER BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BLAME MICHAEL JACKSON FANS WHEN IT COULD BE ROWES PEOPLE. MICHAEL FANS DIDNT' HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH. GET A GRIP DUDe AND GET OVER IT THE ESTATE DON'T BELIEVE YOU NEITHER DOES NOBODY ELSE. SUE ROWE IF SHE'S YOUR PROBLEM.

14. I don't buy that they were MJ fans. That just doesn't make sense. Sounds more like some of Debbie's biker friends to me.

Posted at 4:41PM on Nov 24th 2009 by Debbie

15. I think all involved need a good beating with a bat.
