He should have socked "her".

I am pretty sure he will start having nightmares and severe emotional stress as a result of the incident. This is the kind of trauma that ONLY a couple million dollars of Jodi Foster's money will erase!

Poking someone in the chest and grabbing their arm is now considered roughing up?? I remember when the term meant actually causing someone physical harm, like punching them a few times in the head.. what a bunch of bs

Poor little boy! He's lucky I wasn't the one he was stalking, the camera would have been part of his face!

Unless you are a Female she is unlikely to be interested.

Then how did she get the kids? Turkey baster?

Oh My-makes two of us

Donor-yeah probably right but hey I guy can hope right?

Stop the H- I suspect a more refined system then a turkey baster but I would not be a bit surprised if it wasn't donor sperm at a clinic. (No, not the Poster knonw as Donor, at least I don't THINK so.)

considering her role in taxi driver set off Reagans would-be assasin, is it really paranoia?

Foster has reason to be a little extra guarded. Remeber the guy that tried to kill the president for her??... I think I would have done the same in her situation.

Since when do 17 year old go to a movie carrying a camera? This kid was a stalker hoping to get a good shot of Jodie and her kids...she has a right to demand that he not take pictures of her kids...and if getting poked in the chest and having your arm taken is being "roughed up" then so be it.

I, too, have a nice camera with extra lenses and a great bag, but I don't carry it around hoping to run into a movie star. This guy was clearly out to get her photo - he didn't just randomly run into her and start snapping. If it was a coincidence, why not ask politely to take a shot? Just because she's in public and a celebrity does not give us the right to take pictures at will. She is allowed her privacy just like we are. Why can't she have a nice night out with her kids? Those parents are simply out now to see what they can get from Foster. They obviously didn't raise their son well. He's a slime in the making and they are blood suckers. Their son got beat up by a girl! Good for her!

WHO???? Most people carry camera phones. The most advance 10.2 megapix camera is 3 in by 2 1/2 in. Who are these people that walk around with a camera bag and extra lens......a professional.

Off limits unless you are Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. They willingly put their babies out there for pics. Who cares or who wants to know what they look like. Suri Cruise to me looks to be a bit spoiled. Whatever happened to dressing little girls in regular clothes so they can have fun?

Why put heels on a toddler?

She is gay, and yes she has sons. It's not that uncommon. My partner and I have a wonderful little 4 year old who is our world.

Your name says it all. So freakin what if she's gay? If you're gay, you are banned from reproduction??

Do you think that Lesbians are incapable of conceiving sons?

RF-Your outdated, conservative opinions are what's wrong with this country.

A loving, caring, home is what children need. Families with a caring and loving Father and Mother there is probably the best for kids, but in other situations, ...gays, single parent homes, children will do well as long as they are loved, and cared about. A strong family, regardless of what type of family, is what kids really need.

True, but that could be any family..........any kind of family life could be unstable.

What are you saying? He ought to have fought back?

Do you often advocate violence?

Gillis get over it. The 17 year old is a wuss...

She touched him. Aggressive behaviour is never acceptable.

She is brilliant; clearly, she knew he was quite young.

To put this into perspective, since you obviously DO NOT remember what 17 looks like, Justin Bieber is 16. GET it?

two wrongs never make a right....

AND, do look up the meaning of intimidate, won't you?
This 17 year old was on a public street.

Oh no!! She touched him!! That's soo aggressive!! lol

I could just puke.. what some people say is aggressive these days.. next thing someone will tell me that tapping someone politely on the shoulder to get their attention is an assault

Solidarity Nite

So, do you really think that Foster's tap was a gentle attempt at getting his attention? Honestly?

She knew he was young. She is brilliant. She was frustrated and crossed and acceptable line [period] and you know it.

Now, that he was a rude 17 year old; on that, I have no doubt, but a mature star knows that the courts never, EVER, permit celebrities the right to touch a paparazzi or their cameras.

Indeed, it's quite likely that because she did "touch" him that the courts will find that she did NOT believe he was a paparazzo and was, indeed, a teenager taking photos.

Had she really believed he were a paparazzo, as a celebrity familiar with fame, she well knows to keep away from them.

Do all paparazzi need manners? Yes. But Foster is a mature woman and he's not an adult.

Cheers!

Yeah, I honestly do.. if she wanted to actually hurt him she would have done something other than gently prod him and take his arm. As for your "she knew" thats just bs mindreading.. she couldn't possibly know who he was or how old he is or what his true intent was.. She did nothing wrong with taking him aside gently and asking him to leave her and her kids alone.. really its shameful that someone can't do that without ridiculously being accused of assault

about gillis1000 comment about Justin Bieber being 16 yrs old....why don't you look at the guy from Twilight...Taylor L. isn't he 17 or 18 yrs old....wouldn't a guy with that kind of body intimidate Jody Foster and (especially) her 11 and 8 yr old kids?

Well then, there a few perfect examples of sexism as your comment.

How's this: well, she's lucky he didn't crush damage her teenage body's reproductive organs.

If you think this was an occasion for violent defense, then I fear you.

How many bodies do you have buried outside your compound?

Wow, how violent are you?

I was thinking sort of the same thing- that she should have done this! The little jerk!! Of all the publicity-obsessed celebrities we have to endure, this pathetic little whiny brat had to go pick on Jodie Foster! When was the last time you ever heard her in the press? When she's making or has just finished making a movie - that's it!

Gillis, I think it's time for your meds.

gillis I pity you to be so unaware 17 year old men not boys kill and rape women and children the world over or maybe in your fanasty world all is rainbow and puupy dogs. she could have used a stun in the nuts. but maybe 18 years ago some one could have used 1 on the dad so he couldnt bring rude wussy cry babies in to the real world. thats funny "time for your meds" lol Also wheather your famous or not any body any body gets with in 3 feet of you a mother or father or like me a grandfather our rader to protect our kids or our self goes way up. If anybody is that close they deseve to be put on alert to back the f**k off! like a mother and her cubs.. P.S. Dear Ms. Foster I will be your Bodyguard any time

Double standard... I agree with you Gillis. She had no right to touch him. Yes I think he was impolite but even if he were 40 years old, she overstepped her bounds.

Gillis, sneaking around at 17 with a camera violating people is not exactly moral. And if he's in it for the money, he shouldn't be able to reproduce idiot's like himself. I don't have an exact body count for you on the compound issue. You sound about the same age the little bastard though.

Don't you mean "Boob" Patrol?
