Jodie Foster Accused of Battery by 17-Year-Old Boy

Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster has been accused of battery by a 17-year-old boy after an incident in the parking lot of a Los Angeles-area shopping mall, according to RadarOnline.com. However, the actress's rep tells PEOPLE that the accusations are a "fabrication."

The incident occurred on May 29 at the Grove shopping complex. According to the police report, the boy spotted Foster in the valet parking area and approached her to take a picture. The police report was filed after the incident and officers did not report to the scene.

Describing the incident to Radar, the boy's father said, "Jodie pushed and shoved him leaving scratches and bruises on his arm ... She came after him, poked him in the chest and said, 'Do you even have a mother you slime ball?' He didn't mouth back at all and was scared of her."

However, the actress's rep tells another story. "This guy was most definitely a professional paparazzo," says the rep. "He had a large camera bag and 1000mm telephoto lens. He tailed Jodie and followed her all the way from the movie theater to the valet."

"He crowded her and her two young children and took photos of them the whole time," adds the rep, noting that the actress approached the boy and asked him to stop.

Foster, who is notoriously protective of her private life, was at the Grove seeing a movie with her two sons, Charles, 11, and Christopher, 8. The victim's father believes the actress's reaction was an attempt to protect her sons, but believes she overreacted. "My wife is furious that while Jodie was trying to protect her children, she wasn't there to protect her son," he told Radar.

"At one point Jodie's son even came over to my son and apologized. Her kids were really embarrassed," he added.

The boy was apparently a fan of the 'Panic Room' star; however, he isn't feeling the love anymore. "This left a really bad impression on my son about her. He used to be a big fan and now he has a bad taste in his mouth. He's a good kid; kind of small for his age. There was no threat to Jodie."

HOW DARE YOU? They were NOT taking her picture.. THIS IS STALKING and if it happened to you you might think differently. Her children are small and they were likely traumatized by this dirtbag. If people had sense in this country, celebrities would be able to send this dirtbags to jail. Foster's children have a right to privacy.

Would you feel ''lucky'' if some strange man was sticking a huge camera in the face of your children?? Would you feel ''lucky'' if some guy pushed your kids aside to get your picture? Grow up.

I'm sure she felt lucky when someone tried to kill the President of the United States to impress her too. Because that kept her in the public eye.

Janey, you are a dangerously stupid person. Please do us all a favor and stfu. Azzhole.

She's a has been, I dont know why anyone would want her pic.. ugh!! She always looks so crazy and so unhappy, probably because shes a lez

By lily

I dont for one second believe this kid and his father were just innocently asking for a picture. I believe he was paparazzi and used his kid to try to get close to the actress. The idiots need to back off and if the mother of the 17 year old is mad at anyone it should be at his father who used his kid as a prop to steal pics of jodie and her family.GET A LIFE son and Dad...Jodie more power to ya!!!!

Your response, themeeker, to Janey (here under Jade) shows how stupid you are. Do you not understand sarcasm? Geez. Too bad Foster didn't place that camera somewhere where he could do his own colonoscopy. That little bastard was a professional and experienced the cost of doing business--a dirty business.

I couldn't agree with you more.
Daddy thought they could make a fast MILllion with
this con game.
No judge will buy this, and no self-respecting lawyer
will take the case.

You're right, but is there such an entity?

Damn, she should be arrested just for saying, "Do you even have a mother you slime-ball". She can beat it to death, she's in public, she's public and he wasn't doing anything provoking. I think she just got horny.

By me

Doubtful she got horny over a 17 year old boy considering she's a lesbian. Just sayin is all

By Nan Hahn (thinkingperson)

Horny? For a male? You're kidding, right?

By just a parent in showbiz

man, your handle says it all ZERO. The first amendment ALLOWS Jodi to say ANYTHING she wants short of a threat. ESPECIALLY when protecting her kids.

By Karen

Now I know why you are called zero.

By Keith

Is "Zero" your IQ or number of brain cells? My guess is teeth.

By Scott

For the 1 who brought up the first amendment . . correct, she can say pretty much whatever she wants to him, the same as he can take as many pictures of her as he wants as long as he doesn't make physical contact with them, but what the 1st amendment DOES NOT grant you the power to do is to put your hands on someone because you feel its rude for someone to be taking your picture. Once you cross that line you have to own up to your actions & public opinion shouldn't play any role.

By fiona

Must you ALWAYS be a total zero?? I mean, really!!!
