UPDATE FROM TWITTER

Lindajean139 - "Miami police spokesman Detective Sanchez says no charges will be filed. It is up to the scumbag I mean photog whether to go to DA or not."



From AInow:

Our friends at TMZ have learned ... the Miami Beach Police Department is now in the middle of a violent incident involving Adam Lambert ... after the alleged victim filed a police report.

Law enforcement sources tell us the paparazzo seen grappling with Lambert on the beach yesterday walked into a Miami Beach police station around 10:30 PM last night and filed a report ... accusing the singer of misdemeanor battery.

We're told the alleged victim claims he was "knocked to the ground" in a scuffle that occurred in front of a "large crowd."

Cops tell detectives will decide if the case is worth turning over to the State's Attorney -- who will decide whether to prosecute Lambert. If convicted, Lambert could face up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

After yesterday's clash -- Lambert went right to his Twitter account and posted, "I lost my temper for a sec but wow it felt great lol MIAMI!!!"

The only pictures I saw were the ones with the pap on his feet, not on the ground, with a smile on his face.

In another report it says $1000 fine. NO gail time. How come TMZ is OUR FRIENDS!!!

Anonymous said...

If Adam is charged does that mean he can not leave the U.S. mending the outcome? Does anyone know? I hope the police look at the photos of the smiling pap. When I turned on Good Day L.A. today 2 seconds later, they talked about this incident. Only good part was they didnt mention his sexual orientation!

Sorry. 8;47 post was Adamluv.

If Adam is charged, I want to move to Florida since that tells me it must be a really safe place to live if the courts have nothing better to do than to deal with this non issue! Adamluv

Shirley said...

So what's the maximum penalty for Adam?

Anonymous said...

Shirley, a year 1000 fine max penalty. Now the paps are going to do anything possible to provake Adam. Hopefully, this is something that will be "old" news for him come next week.

That looked liked wrestling. How much can you get from that in America xD

ATTENTION: All Adam's fans attending his concerts tonight and tomorrow should SHOW their support to him (not for this pap incident) but for having SOLD OUT shows throughout the summer across the USA and now SOLD OUT shows in Japan, New Zealand, Helsinki and other venues on his upcoming international tour!!!

I've never understood how it isn't against the law to point a camera at people and continue to shoot pics of them esp. when they are asked to stop? THAT is harassment especially when these scums are making money off the pics. I don't care if it's public property..NO one should be allowed to take pics of anyone abusively and repeatedly so they can earn money!!!

When will our country decide that this is not the kind of behavior we want to reward? Photographers should have to have a legally signed document from any person in public period before they take pics or it's a violation of private space. Celebrities are still people the last time I checked. Saying it's ok to just take photo's of them to make money off of that is just not right.

Cecilia said...

If it's just 1,000 dollars, then it's nothing to sweat about. I was afraid that he'll be jailed for a week or something. I wouldn't want that on his resume. :(

But still, 1,000 dollars is a lot.

I'm hearing that fans have bought up all the Panama hats in town to wear to the concert tonite. Hope that's true! Adamluv

HA give me the fine plz and avoid the big house.

Anonymous said...

Some of the fans say Adam has no privacy anymore and he has to accept that, because it comes along with the fame. I disagree and I think we should do something to change their minds too..

Anonymous said...

Can you lay charges against someone just trying to grab the camera without force as I see from here? If Adam really get charge I think there is going to be a hell lot of embarressment to the police force in Miami and then the America justice system. And finally the whole world will be amazed at what really happen? Maybe its time for a rally against those paps.

I've feld so bad and angry about how Britney has been hunted by the media and I don't want Adam to be treated the same way.

Anonymous said...

OMG! Only in America! Violence is gloryfied. Kids get guns and kill off their schoolmates and now a rocksinger may get procecuted for wrestling on the beach with a pap that seems to enjoy it.

This a totally bogus charge as the pap was smiling the whole time.

I hope Adam only gets a fine or better yet nothing at all.

Nothing should interfere with Adam's smokin hot
career. He deserves better as I think anyone would have lost their cool with the paps. We don't know the entire story of what went down (so to speak).

We love you Adam and stand behind you 100%

THE DARK SIDE said...

OMG< OMG WE KNEW THIS LOOKING FOR THE BUCK PAPARAZZI GUY WAS GONA PRESS CHARGES. WHAT A TOTAL SET UP. PROVOKE ADAM, AND HAVE YOUR BUDDY FILM IT. HOPE THE FLORIDA POLICE CAN SEE THROUGH THIS SCAM. ADAM LOVE, CHILL WE KNOW YOU ARE TIRED. EVERYONE WEARING PANAMA HATS TONIGHT? WHAT A HOOT! ADAM, ADAM, THAT HAT'S GOT TO GO!!!

It really is sad - stars have to flee around the world to protect themselves and families, arrange their weddings in hiding so that some level of sacredness can be achieved, disguise and hide their children so they can leave the guarded walls of their homes, put their heads down and rush headlong to their cars like they have done something to be ashamed of when they just picked up a prescription at Walgreens, gather an entourage of protectors so they can leave a restaurant after taking their mother's to lunch, daily read lies and contrived sensationlism about them in print and online and have to discuss it endlessly as more important than the creative work they do. And when they take a stand, in court or begging for privacy in an arranged interview or clearing a small space on a beach for a couple hours of sun, they are fined, arrested, ridiculed and harrassed. Really - there is not enough money in the world to compensate someone for that kind of treatment.

First time posting on this blog and this is what I have to say.

I hope Adam doesn't become the "next" Britney. I thought Adam was going to be more of the "Christina" route in which she just ignores the paparazzi but after yesterday's fiasco, I'm not so sure anymore.

When you're a celebrity, you don't go attacking paps. It's the most "dumb" and "ridiculous" thing to do. When you attack them, you are playing right into their hands.

Just look what happened to Britney.

Anonymous said...

Well, TeacherMom, I think the point is that Christina is more boring personality than Britney :)

Anonymous said...

This is not called "ATTACK".If that is an act of attack, there will have millions of attacks in One second in USA!

Anonymous said...

Er -- as much as I love Adam I have to support the First Amendament.Any laws that would limit access or require permission in a public place would have US const. problems. This was a public beach so I don't think there is an expectation of privacy. That said, BB should GTFO of Florida right about now.

Anonymous said...

I came here since AO poofed the discussion threads about this incident. It is very unfortunate that this happened. I am hoping if the pap does press charges, that Adam files harassment charges against him, Victor Eras. Victor can be found on Facebook, by the way. :) I love the idea of the audience wearing the Panama hat!!!

Anonymous said...

ADAM needs to move overseas to live where he doesn't have to live in a land where everyone has to conform like clones and forget the PC! A place where his creativity is appreciated and he can be an individual, without all the garbage he has to put up with. Only in the US for sure!

Only in the land of the sue!

Oh, and try not to call people names like scumbag etc. it's so low. I think TeacherMom would agree..?

"VIOLENT" attack? Don't think so! The guy was after money...one way or the other. Couldn't get pictures to sell? Well, then...why don't I just aggravate Adam till he reacts so I can file a suit. Totally bogus.

The Miami police have announced they are not pressing charges.

Personally, I feel like scumbag is a very appropriate name for the scumbag.

Ok then, besides there are scumbags among his fans too.

@TeacherMom, I understand your point, but he is human, remember. With all due respect, you are stating the obvious in your 3rd paragraph. He'll learn from it.

TMZ has never been a reliable source - they hyperbolize things to the point of almost being a total fabrication. I like to read things on 24/7 rather than junk gossip sites. This way they do not get any money for hits on their sleazy sites. I googled Miami newspaper for the facts - police are not pressing charges.

Anonymous said...

Adam was trying to get the camera away from the guy. He was not trying to hurt him. I am against violence but I applaud Adam for his actions. We still don't know what the "scumbag" said to Adam to infuriate him. I wish I was in Florida tonight so I could buy my Panama hat and wear it proudly.

Anonymous said...

So, if Adam gets fined and/or a year in prison, what will that solve???? That celebrities must kiss up to papparazzi??? NOT!!!
grrrrr

Are there no controls over these low life reporters?

LOL!!!

Oh palease...it looks like 2 buddies tackling each other on the beach! Adam is just pulling his camera. I see $ sign on the scumbags small mind... ha! *sigh*

guys which song did adam and tommy jerk off the bass together in atlanta?? ive seen the GIF but not the vid.

Anonymous said...

Think Adam has more of a problem with the Fashion Police than the Florida Police. Adam didn't clock the jerk and drop him, which I feel pretty sure he could have. Probably good thing Neil not there, could have gotten ugly, only funny as it turned out. Also hope that everyone wearing panama hats tonight. What a hoot!!! Anyone catch Brooke mooning the guy(s). Adam's look at her is priceless. That's our California Girl!!!

You attack Cheeks, you attack Adam. Go away! Love his tweet! BTW if you want a good laugh go over to afterelton.com, scroll down to morningMeme and watch video of Betty White. OT you say! I think not since it's right along side the AL gets in fight paragraph! See how I worked in the connection! Ha! Adamluv

@scilla Who the HELL ARE YOU and NO! America does NOT tolerate violence! Get YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT if you are going to accuse a "complete country" like that, because that only shows YOUR IGNORANCE! I dont know what country you are from and I dont care but you would be lying you a$$ off if you said that there is no violence in your country beacsue it happens EVERYWHERE!
Obviously I am **PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!**
Back to the topic at hand I am "praying" that Adam doesnt get into any trouble and that that stupid pap can be found lying about the accusation. and that this blows over quickly!

^OOPS! forgot to add that I so want one of those Panama hats myself. I think Adam look CUTE! in it :)

Anonymous said...

I have my suspicions about Cheeks. His influence among the Burning Man festival might have not been all good for Adam. Think if Cheeks just waits and sells their story after Adam is more famous so he can get more money of it.

I wonder how much $$ "our friends" at TMZ paid the scumbag for the photos?

i dont trust cheeks-something about him ;i can feel it. not very trusting adam lambert friend.

You retarded ANONS-Against-Cheeks...of ALL of Adams friends, Cheeks is the ONLY one who has NEVER name dropped AL. Just sayin...

And just for shits and giggles, Id love to see Adam come out for his encore tonight wearing that damn old lady hat!!!! BAH!!!

If I was a betting woman, I'd bet big bucks that Adam says or does something about the "incident"! That big old hat would be too funny! Adamluv

Helen Glamnation said...

I don't see how anyone could take the pap's side in this. The guy was shooting photos for a whole hour before the incident - plenty of time for him to get enough shots of Adam to earn his filthy money. I'm curious, but I don't think I really want to know what this guy did or said to make sweet Adam furious, because it must have been really vile. It's highly possible that the pap did or said something nasty concerning Neil or Tommy or another glamily member - I can totally see Adam leaping to defend one of his peeps, more so than reacting to verbal excrement spewed directly at him.

Adam's hardly the first entertainer to have run-ins with the scum-sucking paps, and he won't be the last. I remember my parents telling me about how Frank Sinatra used to fight with paps, and actually physically injured a few. Didn't seem to hurt ol' Frank's career.

Celebrity news sells, but the extent to which paps go to provoke the famous and trash their private lives goes extremely beyond what's decent. In a way, it's our fault because we encourage them by buying the gossip rags and the trashy TMZ-type shows. If no one was watching, it wouldn't be profitable to hound and harass Adam and other entertainers.

I think we all agree we love Adam and are most concerned for his safety. Really for me that is all it comes down too. We are up in arms that people who do not know him or follow him would be so unkind. Like Adam said his only crime was his Embarresment; I know I have done or said a few things in the heat of the moment. That is when you have your light bulb moments in life. THANK GOODNESS no one got hurt. He was clearly set up and anyone can see that. That reporter was laughing because he knew he got what he wanted. Like a premeditated crime to a degree. With guys it is hard they just seath when someone just keep it up and won't let go. Adam got angry but quickly came to his senses and I doubt and hope this will pass and lessons are learned. I for one think he should invest in some protection to stand by in the future.

Anonymous said...

8:17 Please don't go to "with guys it is hard they just seathe..." If diehard lady fans had been there, the pap would have been ripped apart, then drowned and run over a couple of times with a beach cleaner.

You peeps who don't think this happens anywhere but the USA better remember Princess Di. Oh and btw, don't come to this site to put MY Country down. Don't know where you hail from, but you can stay there.

@Urethra, IIHU,band introductions,think Atlanta Tbernacle Theatre,9/15. The nerdy straw hat would be hilarious, but don't think Adam wants to make any waves to fuel media and those that would twist it for a negative purpose. Think I'll wear my straw Cancun hat to Hard Rock, tho'! funbunn40
