A member of Laura Linney‘s workforce was assaulted by an autograph hound — and contemplating how shut this man obtained to the star herself … it is a testomony to the necessity for bodyguards.
The ‘Ozark’ actress was in NYC Friday for Style Week, and as she was leaving an occasion — escorted by a handler of some type, it appears — some dude got here out of nowhere and tried to method her for her John Hancock … and aggressively, proper out of the gate.
The person she’s with — who, once more, appears to be rolling along with her in a working capability — is in the best way of the overzealous fan at first … who turns into visibly indignant and pushes previous him to be able to method Laura from the entrance, at which level he extends a photograph for her to signal.
Laura’s workforce member, although, cuts him off and tells the dude to again off. He additionally denies touching the autograph hound … because it appears the person felt he was shoved first.
That is when issues flip left, and rapidly … because the man begins to stroll away in frustration, he throws Laura’s workforce member’s head ahead — virtually giving a half push/half smack, with some noticeable power behind. It was clearly jarring sufficient to shock the group.
Laura, too, was visibly shaken … though, thankfully, it appears like her man was OK. Unclear if this man was ID’d, or if he is being pursued by cops. A scary state of affairs nonetheless.
