A “BIG MISTAKE”
Actress Denise Richards says she made a “big mistake” when she tossed a photographer’s laptop computer off a balcony on a Canadian movie set. Luckily, police say she will not face criminal charges for the incident.
“I am not justifying my behavior. It was wrong,” Richards recently told TV’s “Access Hollywood.” “I saw one of the photographers, went up to him and offered to give him a few nice shots and asked him to please leave so we can focus on our scene. He wouldn’t and he got really belligerent and he was saying vulgar, nasty things to me and made a derogatory remark about my family. I just did what I did and I feel terrible.”
Earlier media reports stated that Richards hurled not one, but two, computers off the balcony of the hotel where her new movie “Blonde and Blonder” is being shot. Other reports maintained that one of the laptops struck an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair, but Richards denies those reports.
“It was a big mistake on my part … I’m not volatile at all. I’m not aggressive. I’ve never been with the paparazzi. I feel bad that I ended up doing that,” she said.
According to members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police: “The photographers, Denise Richards and her management company have agreed to settle the matter civilly regarding the damages to the photographers’ laptops.”
