French police say camouflaged paparazzi who succeeded in the grounds of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's castle in southern France on Thursday, struggled with the Hollywood couple of guards. Both the paparazzi and the Jolie-Pitt security chief
confirmed the clash but gave very different versions of events.
Freelance photographer Luc Goursolas said that broke a finger guard and another until they bled slightly, and hit him with a walkie-talkie, punched and kicked him, leaving a head wound requiring three stitches.
"I was pouring blood. I threw myself, put blood all over them and told them that I had HIV so it would stop beating me," he told The Associated Press on Friday Goursolas.
Tony Webb, head of security at the farm Miraval, said Goursolas was "berserk" without provocation and denied that his guards punching a photographer.
He said that Jolie and Pitt may be forced to move if their privacy is not respected, and that the couple feels besieged. He said that local police are not taking the problem seriously enough.
"If they invasion of their privacy like this, then would not have option, and that would have to go somewhere where the laws are respected a little better," Webb told the AP.
"It's just not fair, they are on your property and you have it (Goursolas) and can not be another dozen out there that we can not find" in the 1,235-acre property, he said. "It's just a couple trying to raise his young family."
Goursolas said he was not on the property but in the nearby woods, where the guards, quad bikes, found him. "The forest belongs to everyone," he said, adding that he walked five hours to get there. "I was not in his garden."
He says that not having any photos. The colleague who was with him, camerawomen Marianne Saint-Arrom, said she took no video. He confirmed that wore khaki and camouflage to avoid being seen in the forest. "We are not going to wear a red sweater," he said.
Webb, however, said the paparazzi were on the property, some 600 metres from the house in a leafy hill from where Webb suspicion that the vaccines were taken from previous Jolie and Pitt in his garden with his children. He said Goursolas also had camouflaged his team and that he was "there for a good stay."
Jolie returned last weekend to the farm after July 12 birth of their twins, Knox and Leon Vivienne Marcheline in the Mediterranean city of Nice, about 60 miles away.
Goursolas Pitt stated that came to talk to them after the fight. "He told me, 'What we are doing is wrong, I'm tired of my private property are violating' ... and then he said, 'If you want war you will get it first."
Webb said he was not on hand at that time but added that no cree que Pitt said.
Police spokesman Captain said Olivia Poupot both parties filed legal complaints accusing others of the battery and cause injury. Goursolas said it also filed complaints of unlawful arrest and detention.
The police spokesman said the wounded personnel of the farm got doctors are notes that four days off work, but the photographers did not. Police took the center of everyone to the nearby village of CARC and took statements. A judge will rule on whether the allegations should be pursued, he said.
"One can imagine that if you discover that someone in your garden that is taking the picture then you're not necessarily going to politely show them the way out," he said.
Poupot said it was the first time that the castle has asked the police to intervene because the Jolie-Pitts settled there earlier this year, ahead of the twins' birth.
But she said he had no other information.
"This sort of thing is not really the kind of problem that interests us," he said. "There are, in my opinion, much more important that things paparazzi taking pictures of a couple glamour."
