The paparazzi involved in Chris Brown's single-car accident on Saturday are denying any involvement. At the same time, as of Sunday, Brown says he is ready to sue them, as the accident totaled his car and resulted in the wall he hit being left in shambles.
According to a police report issued on Saturday,
On Feb. 9, 2013 at approximately 12:03 p.m., entertainer Chris Brown was involved in a solo, non-injury traffic collision in the 600 Block Bedford Drive / Camden Drive alley. Mr. Brown was the driver of the vehicle and collided with a wall. Brown stated that he was being chased by paparazzi causing him to lose control of his vehicle. Brown's Black Porsche was towed from the scene at his request.
Brown's rep issued a statement on Saturday claiming he was cut off by two photographers, blaming the accident on "aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi."
TMZ tracked down the photo agency that employed all the paparazzi involved in the incident. Chris Doherty, the owner of INF, said that he is 100 percent positive that his photographers "had nothing to do with Chris Brown crashing."
According to Doherty, his employees didn't arrive on scene until after the accident. He said:
No photographers were following him at the time he crashed ... He crashed his car and it’s convenient for him to blame us. He needs to be careful with his defamatory statements.
Doherty added that police interviewed his photographers on scene and they "appeared to be satisfied" his employees were not the cause of the accident.
The Beverly Hills Police Department would not comment any further than the above statement issued on Saturday.
Brown, however, had plenty more to say, or at least a rep for the singer did. The rep said that he intends to sue INF. The rep said:
We plan on seeking criminal charges and holding them civilly liable.
