Jake Gyllenhaal Kicks The Shin Out of Paparazzi

Jake Gyllenhaal Kicks The Shin Out of Paparazzi

A videographer followed actor Jake Gyllenhaal as he was returning from a scheduled lunch break during jury duty on Wednesday (January 28) in Los Angeles.

The 28-year-old frustrated actor was seen walking into a door after pushing instead of pulling and then kicking the videographer’s shin.

To watch the shin-kicking video, visit TMZ.com.

FYI: Jake was excused from jury service in the battery case.

DO YOU THINK Jake had the right to kick the videographer?

The way he said “he just assaulted me” made it look as if that’s what he was after. And maybe Jake didn’t intend to hit him, but the pap got REALLY close to him and Jake seemed frustrated enough as it is. He should’ve backed off and left Jake alone! And that voice is like nails on a chalkboard!

Anger management and show business, I agree with you. Jake knew or should have known what he was getting into when the became a movie actor. Paps are an integral part of it and actors would be depressed if there were no paps to take pictures of them. Publicity is their life blood. I suspect Jake was fit to be tied at having been called for jury selection. He probably doesn’t think he should be treated like everyone else. So he was mad and irritable to begin with and instead of laughing at the pap and even telling him to go ahead and take a picture he lashed out. On the other hand, it’s nice to see Jake being human. I wonder if maybe his thing with Reese is not all roses now; He looks unhappy in recent pictures.

Did you know most of the paparazzi are illegal immigrants from all over the world?

Really?
They have better manners than Jake Gyllenhaal.

What a loser!

“I wonder if maybe his thing with Reese is not all roses now; ”

He never should have hooked up with her in the first place.

Jake never had a thing with Reese Witherspoon.
Just a fauxmance contract.

Oh please! That was an accident and that paparazzi needs to grow a pair. He desserved it anyway, all up in Jake’s face like that.

I didn’t see any assault.

Jake knew better than to do that.He has been enjoying it so far with his girlfriend Reese.Weeks ago he has no problem with them.So what ’s the big deal now.Jake needs to get out and find himself some more work to do.He knew that was going to happen anyway..So he should stop act like he don’t like it.

“Jake spitting at TMZ paparazzi”
Jake is a stupid jerk.

Jake you jus’ ass solted me and also my ***** fell off

Jake,
kick Reese Witherspoon’s saggy a$$!
It’s not paparazzi fault that your fake girlfriend is a nagging cow.

Even though i think that paparazzi sometimes cross the line, kicking someone does not make you better than them. I think that was beneath him, badly done Jake.

Jake, it’s time to cut your losses with the showmance. Its not doing you any favors. Get rid of your PR while you’re at it and find people who respect you, not use you.

This guy definitely deserved, can you imagine having that stupid persons following you everywhere

Nobody should be spit at or kicked at. Jake acted like a childish, sissy. Jake seems to be in a bad mood, but it was only 1 guy not a mob. It’s funny that he doesn’t seem bothered by the paps when he and his fake girlfriend arrange pap photo ops to promote that showmance of theirs.

I saw the video on TMZ this morning- big deal. It doesn’t look like he actually kicked him, probably scared him and he jumped back.

But if Jake really did kick him purposelly, the dude has to learn to calm down. He’s a celebrity, he should be used to them

TMZ also has some interesting news. The lawsuit over Heath Ledger’s death (the insurance company maintaining it might have been suicide and that Ledger lied when he applied for the insurance by claiming he never used drugs) has been settled. Terms of settlement not disclosed.

Yeah , no wonder he got kicked with that voice, I would have done the same ! LOL

I understand Jake is a star or whatever..but come on everyone needs their space the Pap was so close to him asking him stupid questions..the Man is Human, and also the paps in LA are way out of control there should be LAws to prevent them from getting so close to the celebrities.

Kathy, I would agree, but the problem is he and Reese Witherspoon are known to arrange photo ops for self and/or movie promotion. Maybe then he should stop doing that too? Or find a new girlfriend.

i don’t doubt that paparazzi was probably being rude and annoying, but violence is never the answer. everyone who is praising jake over this needs to stfu.. he should have just been the bigger person and walked away like all the other celebrities these stalkers follow! so immature!

Roid Rage. He got those muscles from a can.
