A 17-year-old boy who photographed Jodie Foster in a Los Angeles parking lot has told police the actress assaulted him, said Radaronline.com. The boy’s father says his son was merely a fan of Foster’s who wanted a snapshot, but that Foster became irate when she spotted his camera, called him a “slimeball,” and then “pushed and shoved him, leaving scratches and bruises on his arm.” A spokesperson for Foster called that account a “fabrication,” and maintained the boy was actually “a professional paparazzo” who’d stalked the actress.
