Amanda Bynes: It Get Crazier.
by Shannon Keirnan
Amanda Bynes is in trouble again!
But this time around the "She's the Man" star is not plowing into bumpers with her car. Instead, she’s taking some heat for a recent encounter with a paparazzo who insisted on taking her picture as she walked down Sunset Blvd.
“ET”has the exclusive video. It features a man with a camera basically stalking the star and jumping out at her. She immediately covers her face with her (gasp) fur.
“Please stop filming,” she asks nicely, but the man keeps it up.
Bynes demands to see the images that he took, and, displeased, she tells him she will let him take better pictures if he deletes what he just snapped.
The arguments all happen off-camera.
“Amanda let go of my camera, you’re breaking my camera!” the man snaps.
“The struggle, caught on tape!” the “ET” host announces, though there’s little more to be seen than tennis shoes and some expensive heels.
“You have to delete that one of my face, I need to look beautiful,” Bynes says, laughing a little.
Their disagreement apparently escalates.
“Can you stop pinching me? All right stop! Amanda stop pinching me, that’s not necessary,” the pap shouts.
“You pinched me,” Bynes calmly shoots back.
But, wait! There’s more!
“Let me go, what the hell is wrong with you! Stop that!” he yells. “You dug your nails into my neck, lady! Dude, are you insane with that?”
“I didn’t touch you,” Bynes responds.
All right. Verdict is in and I’m with Bynes on this one, vehicular nightmare or not. The man is clearly harassing her, and since all of the shouting and apparent tussling takes place off-camera, there’s no way to know what actually went down.
And frankly, if someone stuck a camera that close to my face as I was walking down the street, I’d probably do more than pinch them.
Bynes has enough to worry about right now with her countless traffic arrests, so I’m willing to ignore this probably publicity stunt to sully her name.
But the fur? Let's hope that's really good imitation, Amanda.
