The Celebrity Truth

The star of television’s ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’, Gary Dourdan, has declared that he’s frightened of Hollywood’s video paparazzi, telling the US magazine TV Guide that they invade celebrity’s "private space".

Dourdan had a run-in with a video paparazzi from gossip website TMZ in July, who claimed that Dourdan "violently grabbed our photog outside Hyde, who the actor had mistaken for another guy, and slammed him to the pavement several times, sending his head bouncing into concrete over and over again - all while his camera continued to roll."

At the time, a spokesperson for Dourdan told E! News that, "It’s our belief that this is a minor incident, exaggerated by an eager paparazzo in order to create a story." The actor still stands by this statement.

"I just tried to turn his camera off," Dourdan explains to TV Guide.

"The video guys are getting to be a problem.  They tape everything you’re doing.  It’s like, ‘Wait a minute, you’re invading my private space.  Stop following me and taping my private conversations with my friends. My license plate.  Everything."

Dourdan continues, "You start to feel like you’re being violated.  And I’m not alone.  Alot of [celebrities] have had problems with video camera guys.  It’s scary."
