Britney's Paparazzi Run-In
Tue., Jun. 22, 2004 12:00 PM PDT by Lia Haberman
Don't tread on Britney Spears. The pop princess' protective mama might just tread back.
That's what one unlucky paparazzo learned this weekend when Lynne Spears allegedly backed her car into the overly aggressive photographer.
Spears, her mom and sister, Jamie Lynn, were at a Santa Monica pet store this past weekend picking out pooches--a white Yorkie-Poo for the popster and a brown Pomeranian for little sis.
The pet parade attracted a pack of photos hounds, who crowded around the Spears women as they boarded Lynne's Toyota Scion SUV (we assume the Beemer was in the shop?).
According to photos and witness testimony on fansite World of Britney, a member of the paparazzi moved in for a money shot as Mama Spears was pulling away.
The shutterbug, Colin Reavley, fell to the pavement, claiming Lynne had run over his foot.
The visibly shaken pop star apparently wanted to make a run for it, but her mother stayed put until police and paramedics arrived on the scene.
Reavley was taken to a hospital, treated and released without any broken bones. His family is purportedly considering retaining a lawyer.
But cops didn't think Lynne was to blame. They didn't give her so much as a ticket, chalking the incident up to "paparazzi misconduct."
A statement from the singer's camp is expected later Tuesday.
It's been a bad couple of weeks for Spears. Earlier this month she underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to correct a dance injury. Then last week she was forced to shutter her Onyx Hotel Tour while she recovered.
