Dolph Lundgren & When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong

Dolph Lundgren was supposed to be the main story but something different happened. While photographing Dolph and his friend, I was repeatedly blocked and bumped much like when I used to play basketball. So after a few times, I held my position. I don't even know the pap's name, lets just call him saggy pants. By the way, the whole sagging pants fashion where a man's ass crack is showing started in the penal system. In prison, men who wear their pants low are saying they are "bottoms" that they are available for sex by other inmates so I don't get the fashion of men not in prison walking around free wearing their pants so low that you can almost see their balls. Only another man would find that attractive not a lady in my opinion. In the video, I remark, "Go back to prison!" because of his sagging pants just to be clear. Anyway, saggy pants accused me of physically attacking him. Now let's look at this logically why would I do that when my job is to get the best pictures and video possible of the the celeb that I'm shooting? Why would I have to attack to get a shot of Lundgren when I've shot him so many times in the past and want to shoot him in the future? Why would I fuck up a chance for a great video that possibly could be sold since Dolph Lundgren is hot right now due to Expendables 3. Lastly, I love Grace Jones, I would not mess with any old or new flames in her crew. But besides all that, it is so sad that saggy pants said in the video that "He has nothing to live for..." That is more disturbing than his tirade and his verbal abuse. For me it isn't that serious. I come across celebs all the time without really trying. I don't have to fight to photograph them or get them to chat with me. I'm not desperate for shots. They come to me so in the future when I have to shoot around someone like saggy pants. I'll ignore him. It is hard though to turn the other cheek when a person is threatening you. Seriously. If I was a man, it would be the norm for me to knock him out but because I'm a woman, it is a strange paradox.

KAT Explains The Reason Why Her Covering DWTS Season 17 Stopped

For the past 4 or so years I've covered DWTS comings and goings at rehearsals the entire season. Day in and day out from cold to rain to blistering sun. I loved the show so it was a pleasure. To be more specific I feel in love with the kindness of one particular person by the name of Tristan MacManus. So I will make this story short. I was accused of "attacking/assaulting" a 300lb paparazzi who lied to the LAPD and filed a false report. He forgot to mention that he attacked me from behind and shoved me. I raised my arms to protect myself. He also forgot to mention that he blocked and chased me around while we were shooting. The idea that a bully can get away with not only assault but lying to the LAPD and to some of the people that I care for more than you will ever know has caused me much pain. I don't have to push to get a shot. Look over my 3,000+ videos and see the number of people that I have interacted with and shared their stories. I will defend myself physically if anyone attacks me and by law I have the right to. So for those of you wondering why I haven't been shooting DWTS Season 17 everyday like I have in the past here is the answer. In previous videos, tweets and conversations, the harassment that I've dealt with has been documented. Being assaulted, battered and bullied is no joke and has serious consequences.  These aren't the kind of people I want to work around.

Jerk Pap Starts Argument

This actually has been going on for a while. There is a group of paps that are brothers. One is sweet the other two not so much. Long story short the older brother and the middle brother are jerks.
