MAYOR APOLOGIZES FOR PAPARAZZI ASSAULT
HAMMOND, Louisiana — Mayor Mayson Foster has apologized to the owner of local magazine Tangi Mistress after body-slamming a paparazzo who photographed him mowing his lawn in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Foster, who for months has secretly cut his grass in the middle of the night to avoid paparazzi, “flipped his shit” when he spotted a photographer hiding behind a garbage can, according to neighbor Daron Gabagoo.
When officers of Hammond PD arrived at Foster’s residence shortly after 2:30 AM, the Hammond mayor was attempting to throw the paparazzo’s camera up into some power lines in an effort to get it permanently stuck.
“You guys at Hammond Action News always treat me right, but these tabloids go too far,” said Foster, known as ‘Ma-Fo’ to the readers of the popular local women’s magazine Tangi Mistress, “If you can’t cut your grass in the middle of the night without someone peeping through the hedge, then it just ain’t right.”
Blagdon Gripps, who suffered life-threatening injuries and only awoke from his coma Thursday morning, communicated to HAN that he is not pressing charges. “I see Ma-Fo’s side of it,” he blinked, “There’s such a demand for pictures that I’ve been dogging him everywhere lately. I got him at the gym, Wal-Mart, and I even got some cool shots of him taking his nap on a bench in Cate Square.”
