The 'Razzi Who Witnessed an A-List Star Beating His Girlfriend

November 20, 2006 - from Crazy Days and Nights

"So last week I think I promised to fill you all in on a story that a pap related to me because he wanted to know if he was legally obligated to do anything about what he had witnessed and his obligations should it occur again in the future..

Most of you readers are used to seeing the photos of celebs up close and personal that are taken from just a few feet away..However, you may have also seen photos, especially on the beaches that are taken from a much greater distance, and then there was a recent case involving Jennifer Aniston where topless photos of her on her deck were taken from over a quarter mile away..

There are some pap who follow their quarry all the time, but for much of the time they just stay close to certain places they know celebs tend to hang out, or they know will be coming to at some point in the day or night. However, the big money are for pics that are harder to come by and that is where you get the guys following you everywhere ot finding a place that overlooks your house and then waiting for hours and hours and sometimes even for days depending on how valuable the pic would be if taken.

The pap who came to my office is a follower..he goes for the big bucks and does not settle for anything less..He has become very good at tracking his quarry from a distance (some would say it has something to do with the device on their fav car he put there, but I digress..lol) He also has found a place also about a quarter mile away from a particular house which provides him an excellent view of about 30% of the house including some rooms of the house, and into them as well..

He came to me because on 3 or 4 occasions (definitely 3, and unsure of the 4th) he witnessed the current A list actor beating his girlfriend and has the pics to prove it. (they are grainy, but very clear what is going on) The first time it happened he was not prepared to take pics because he knew the object of his pics was not at the house and so he managed to only get a couple of pics which are useful only if looking at the others to put the first in context. After the fight, he waited for what he was sure would be an appearance by the police, but none ever came. This same scenario played out the other times as well.

He came to me because he wondered if he was under some obligation to report the beatings to the police. He did not want to alert the police because he did not want the subject to learn about the pap watching his house and thus tip-off what the real goal with the pics is/was. Also, the fights happened over a several week period and always in the same room of the house and so he was wondering if they could have learned of his presence and were staging the fights because they always did happen in the same room..To back this theory up he stated and as I viewed the pics, admitted it is hard to see if there are any bruises or marks on the woman. Most of the blows appeared to be of the open hand variety and therefore would maybe not leave a mark and also would not leave any evidence if the pap decided to call the cops on his own and they investigated. He has thought about calling the police as soon as he sees something but doubts they would be able to respond in time..The girlfriend rarely leaves the house which makes it tough to follow her and see if there are marks or to confront her..She is not really in the public eye and so sometimes that can be problematic as well..He hired an assistant to follow the girl if she does leave, but she does not seem to leave until at least two days after a fight which would bolster the theory that she has been hit.

He wants her to leave because he knows that when she is gone, then his payoff pics will happen..I will keep you updated on this story..of course it could break out into the open at anytime as well..too many people are being brought into the loop..of course the pap could be bought off also...remind me to tell you about some big payoffs in the past to keep things quiet.."

UPDATE! Dec 12 2006: The pap who was watching the house is STILL watching. As far as I know he has been there for over a month. He is waiting for one picture which will be worth about two years of taking regular pictures.

Methinks: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The pap could have been waiting for a Suri pic or a pic of Tom and a guy and gets this picture of Tom, who's been openly crazy and slightly agressive (remember how hard he shook Oprah?) hitting Katie. Katie rarely leaves the house and never without a Scientology handler.

UPDATE! March 7th 2007
"Do you remember about the pap who was staking out a house looking for one special photo? Well there have been some developments. First, the boyfriend and girlfriend have married. I ran into the pap's assistant the other day and he said that about 5 or 6 weeks ago, the now wife left for a few days and the pap got the shot he wanted. It took him months of waiting but he got the money shot. He tried to sell it to a US magazine and they did not want to touch it. He then went to a UK magazine and they offered him a tremendous amount of money, but not the kind of money that makes up for months of waiting. So, using the UK offer as leverage he decided to offer the photo for sale to the husband. They have discussed a price but nothing finalized yet. If the sale does not go final, then UK it is."

Methinks: Tom Cruise with another man while Katie Holmes was in Paris. Also the reason they might be moving

I agree with you 100%.
I wonder if it was Suri's sperm donor. His martial arts trainer.He worked with him in Samurai.

There's always "Big Red" rent boy who speaks about his romp with Cruise.

The abusive boyfriend and his girl were married some time between the Dec 12, 2006 update and the March 7, 2007 update, judging by the time-line Ent's given. Tom and Katie, on the other hand, married on November 18, 2006 (two full days before Ent's first Abusive BF post), so I'm not sure if they truly are the couple of which Ent wrote. And as Ent says, he doesn't alter the time-lines of his stories (with the notable exception of the MV tale).

No, not his trainer, his BROTHER. Just take one look at his brother and you will see how much suri looks like him. plus, they are ALWAYS surrounded by him and the rest of Toms family...hell his mom and sister even live with them...possibly the brother too.

I don't think that Tom Cruise has a brother- he has a lot of sisters though.- Also, I am wondering if the photographer who just recently (Sept 2007)committed suicide and who also was extorting money from various celebs (reportedly extorting from Tom Cruise, as well as other famous Celebs) is that same PAPARAZZI who snapped these damaging photos referenced in this BI. Also, many are not so sure this PAP actually committed suicide- AND MAYBE if the above BI is about this recently deceased paparazzi, then maybe his death IS TRULY connected to his extortion for TOm Cruise.
