Pierce Brosnan, Alleged Batterer?

Reader Comments

• 121. Bronson hit a breaking point. Of course, I'm sure he regrests the reaction. But people get sick and tired of being hounded and photoed and sold off by paparazzi's. The paps need to back off when told, especially when the celebs are with their families. Get lost, paps. You deserve every camera shoved in your smutty faces.

• 123. Pierce should've kicked his ass down the street. I shot a number of stars in the mid-70's, but only on their "working" turf - the stage. The Constitution needs an Amendment to stop the papar-trash from intruding into the private lives of entertainers. This isn't investigative journalism - it's harassment.

• 124. respect his or any individuals right to privacy. It is the company photographers work for who should be help accountable. This has to end as too many people are getting hurt.

• 126. Good for Pierce! All too often, media tends to take pics of celebs when they don't want to be photoed just to make an extra cash. Obviously, Brosnan didn't want to be photoed. His rights to privacy need to be respected.

• 127. . Pierce is a class act like Gary Grant He doesn't even come close to Cary Grant!! And never will, he is anti American so I would have to ask what is he still doing here and Who does he think he is James Bond. He didn't play but two roles, and now he thinks he owns the world. Go AWAY WE DON'T WANT OR NEED YOU!! Definately NOT A CLASS ACT.

• 128. Hey did you all not read???? He was not the Pap!!!!! He was just someone taking his picture because he saw him. Be careful what you say folks. Read carefuly.

• 129. One other thing ... sometimes the photogs taunt the celebrities into making bad faces or responding in anger for a pic ... we only see their selection of pics, not hear the conversation. From everything I have seen, Pierce has always been polite. Someone could be trying to get close to his children for kidnapping reasons and using the cameras as a decoy. Every parent has a right to defend his family PERIOD. Good for you, Pierce, placing family first and shame on TMZ for publishing such a slanted article. If anyone gets too close to a family, parent/husband has right to defend! Now, if only I had a man in my life like him ... *smile*

• 130. Pierce Brosnan needs to grow up. I saw a blip one time where he acted the same way towards two young men who were excited to see him. He's nothing but an bully who thinks he possesses 007 superpower and is above the law...GO..Sheriff...put this man in his place!!!! This Americanized alien came to America and bilks millions of dollars creating entertainment to pad his pocket,take from Americans,become famous in the public eye and then expect not to be photographed...??? BTW there is NO LAW in the states forbidding taking photos of another as celeb photographers do for a living...

• 131. I think most folk wld get bugged hn needled; actors are people who r hounded enuf, and r entitled to some privacy more so whn with kids; it wld be a travesty to repraoch him in anyway, more so whn he too was struck back!

• 132. I agree that the paps can get way over zealous,but still doesnt give anyone the right to strike another person. Nice lesson to your kid that you dont like that someone is taking your pic you use foul language and then hit them. Wrong try just getting in your car and leaving. And by doing anything else your just giving them something to sell for even more money

• 133. It is way past time for the press to have to stay a certain distance from celebrities & use long lens to shoot pics UNLESS they are at official (red carpet, etc.) events and they have passes to be in a closer area. These children's safety is now being jeopardized and any parent would be defensive. Pierce should sue the magazine for deflamation of character in their article. He did nothing wrong, but the photog did! Britney Spears ran over a photog's foot because he was so close to her car! Should run over more! EVERYONE deserves intimate space, even if in public. If in public, shots can be shot with a long lens but keeping a REQUIRED distance. The paparazzi is getting to be like in England in the US! Do we really want another Princess Di situation????

• 134. Mr. Bronson like anyone has a right to privacy with his children. There is a point in this country where Papparazzi need to stop and allow real stars like him time w/his family. It's like having a bill collector harrass you day after day. Again real stars like him not the younger ones that thrive on there names showing up in the papers. Pierce is a class act like Gary Grant!

• 135. well honesty why can't people be civil anymore! all i see out of thes pictures is pierce wanting to be one thing..... A father! taking his family out shopping. now i thing the paparazzi photoghraper got what was coming. i know i would be upset too if i was famous but wanted to live a normal live with my family. these paparazzi need t know when the right time is to take pictures or interviews if any. and this was a wrong time!so the pap photographer got what he deserved!
