JUNE 19--Bruce Willis today sued a paparazzo for defamation, claiming that the photographer fabricated a story about being assaulted by the movie star outside a West Hollywood restaurant. In a Los Angeles Superior Court complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, Willis alleges that Anthony Goodrich (who is described in the filing as a 'stalker-paparazzi') falsely claimed in a published report that he was shoved and stiff-armed by Willis during the incident last week. Goodrich claimed that his tooth was chipped when Willis shoved the lensman's camera into his face. In his petition, which seeks at least $1 million in damages, Willis contends that he simply put his hands in front of his face to shield his eyes from the 'blinding flash of the cameras' wielded by Goodrich and other swarming shutterbugs.
