We caught you in the act Jude! (dailymail.co.uk)
Not only Amy Winehouse who got into bust-knuckles trouble, another British celeb, Jude Law also being accused of hitting a female photographer, but denied the accusation.
On Wednesday, the Closer actor was leaving a late-night dinner in London hosted by the director of The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan. He was at the dinner with other stars, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z and singer Michelle Williams. As he left the restaurant, Law appeared to strike the back of the head of female paparazzo, Harsha Gopal, as she took pictures of him.
Because of that, 28-year-old Gopal decided to press charges against the Oscar nominee yesterday. She claimed the attack was unprovoked, and describing, “He hit me full on the face, it was a real stinger, it was very sore.” Gopal also added, “It was really loud – there was a massive thud and my face is still stinging today. It was deliberate – you could see it in his face. Maybe he didn’t realise he was hitting a girl, but he could at least apologise.”
Law’s attorney Graham Shear called the claims ‘nonsense’, then share his client’s version, “Last night’s incident was an accident. Jude was blinded by the camera flashes when he left the restaurant, raised his hand to shield himself and inadvertently struck somebody standing very close. He apologized and left.”
So, it looks like the 36-year-old actor either consciously attacked a female photographer, hitting her in the face, or he was blinded by the camera flashes, and then accidentally hit this woman. Police could not immediately say whether they had received a formal complaint against Law.
Let’s wait and see for more of the story then!

Please stop saying she is a woman, because is the most sexist thing i never read…a paparazzo is a paparazzo no matter what genre is. It was an accident, as you can notice if you see all the pictures about the incident, not only 2 or 3 the sites are showing now…..but, of course, if a paparazzo said it was on purpose it’s must be true! yeah, sure.
And by the way, in her face? Acording to the pictures (even yours) it was in her back (neck).
