Paparazzi Versus the Surf Gang

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, June 23, 2008

Private security was hired to patrol the beach where Matthew McConaughey surfs — but that didn’t stop another brutal beach beatdown from taking place.

Yesterday, a gang of surfers decided that the paparazzi wasn’t welcome on their beach, and proceeded to issue a beating.

After a beachgoer chucked a beer bottle at one of the paps on the shore, an all-out brawl took place by the water — ending with some badly busted-up faces and a lot of ruined camera equipment.

To top it off, this was just a continuation from Saturday, when the first altercation took place.

X17online states,

Damn! These Malibu surfers are looking to protect their turf! The village idiots took to the beach again today — this time a different bunch — and brandished their woman as a secret weapon!

While the beer-bellied “surfers” hung back, they let their girl go ahead and tease the paps with her hollow threats — the woman claiming she was there to protect her beach.

Though the L.A. County Sheriffs Department eventually showed up, no arrests were made.

Personally, I see no problem with the paps being on a public beach and photographing Matthew surfing — no one cares, we’ve seen it a hundred times — but they have a right to be there like anyone else.

It’s when the paps swing from trees filming stars in their own backyard, that’s when I have an issue with it.

What others said:

Dlisted says, “Matthew doesn’t want any of this kind of violence! He just wants us all to take off our shirts, rub our skank against each other, smoke a bowl and play the bongos!”
