Paparazzi spin on Spears incident

09:54 AM PT, Aug 2 2007
On their site, the photo agency Flynetonline.com offers this amazing description of the encounter between their photographers, Britney Spears and her bodyguard at Wynn:
 
 
"Everyone's asking for more inside details on the incident between Britney's bodyguards and our photographers, so here's the buzz.

In Las Vegas, on July 26th at about 11:30 am, photogs Andrew Deetz and Kyle Henderson were taking pictures, and they were standing at a safe distance, between 30 and 50 feet away from Britney. When Kyle attempted to get in closer for a better shot, Julio Camera (J.C.), one of the bodyguards, squeezed Kyle against the wall until hotel security stepped in and asked Kyle to leave.

As Kyle was being escorted out, J.C. randomly and without provocation, ran up to Andrew and attacked him from behind. J.C. threw Andrew on the ground and started brutally beating him. Andrew got injuries to his face and head as well as his back, neck and other parts of his body.

Immediately after, Britney ran towards Andrew as if she were going to attack him, but after being restrained by security, she threw a baby bottle at Andrew and said, 'I am going to kill you. I'm going to (expletive) kill you.' She then said that he should get a restraining order against her, because if she couldn't kill him, she'd hire someone who would.

At no time did either of the photographers go anywhere near Britney or her children. When the police arrived, J.C. was issued a citation for misdemeanor battery. Andrew was taken to the hospital, and Kyle was able to leave.

Proof positive. Not everything stays in Vegas."
