Russell Brand Opens Up About Phone-Slamming Incident—Blames Steve Jobs?!

Comedian uses Twitter to explain iPhone attack that resulted in cell phone being launched through law firm's window

On Monday, Russell Brand hurled a paparazzo's iPhone through a New Orleans office window.

Today, he finally got around to talking tweeting about it. And just how did Katy Perry's ex defend himself?

With humor of course! This morning Brand tweeted, "Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory."

Rest in peace, indeed.

Brand will reportedly be picking up the tab for the broken window. As for the iPhone? We're not so sure...
