What started out as an innocent day filled with buying adorable little puppies, turned into bone-crunching mayhem after Britney Spears and her mama, Lynne Spears, ran over a photographer. The photographer filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court recently, claiming he suffered serious injury from the incident, which occurred over two years ago.
The incident occurred in June 2004, when Spears, her sister Jamie Lynn and her mother Lynne were leaving a Santa Monica pet store. A number of paparazzi, including the plaintiff Cullen Reavley, crowded around the vehicle. The car, we're told, was owned by Lynne, she was also the one who was driving. Reavley fell to the ground, claiming Lynne ran over his foot. Police and paramedics were called and Reavley was taken to the hospital. Although police were called, they reportedly determined Lynne had nothing wrong and she was not ticketed.
Reavley, who is suing Britney for an undisclosed sum, also filed a suit against Britneys mother and Britney Touring, Inc. for over $25,000. The photog claimed he suffered injuries to his "head, neck, back, trunk and extremities, all of which have caused and continue to cause plaintiff great mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering." He claimed the "injuries will result in permanent disability."
Injuries to the head, neck, back, trunk, and extremities are very unfortunate, but can be avoided if one chooses to not jump in front of a moving vehicle.
Let's see...HE saw her backing up and HE rushed right up to get a shot. What are they supposed to do? Sit there all day while the paparazzi surround them taking pics?
By the way...to my knowledge I'm not related to the eye above me. lol

this is a better development then the original story. how many people are still clamoring for britney spears pictures anyway? i never understood the obsession except when grown men (aka perverts) fantasized about an underage girl. well she did play to those fantasies but it doesn't make it any less creepy.
Other than the fact that Britney was the most loaded person in the vehicle, why is he suing her? She wasn't fucking driving! I can't believe I'm defending her.
Meh. Just give em the money. Drop in the bucket to the Britner here folks. Besides. Bitch cow has insurance for lawsuits. All celebs do. Not that big a deal.
Now, I'm definitely not a Spears fan, but I still think that this guy should lose miserably, because if there's one thing I hate more than brittany spears it's paparazzis being defended by the law. Scummy scum scum.
shakes head... I cant stand the girl but lets face it why the fuck is he sueing Brit when she wasnt even driving... I think that the Judge who takes up this case should look at the sleezball and just laugh his case out of the court room... its been 2 damn years and he is just now saying shit to get her money...
People these days need to get shot in the head just for thinking up stupid lawsuits like this one
