After A Paparazzo Claimed That Taylor Swift’s Dad Hit Him In The Face, Taylor’s Rep Has Alleged That The Photographer Had Threatened “To Throw A Female Staff Member Into The Water”

The alleged altercation is said to have occurred as Scott and Taylor disembarked a yacht at Neutral Bay Wharf and made their way into a waiting car alongside their security team. 

According to Ben, Taylor was already inside the car when Scott allegedly “charged in” and attacked him. Ben did not require medical attention after the incident.

"I've been doing this for 23 years and I haven't been in a situation where someone's hit me in the chops," he added to the BBC, insisting that he hadn’t provoked the alleged attack. 

New South Wales Police have confirmed that Ben reported the incident and “inquiries are now underway by officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command.”

However, Ben has refuted this claim — saying that there were no women present aside from Taylor at the time. He told the Daily Mail Australia: “This is the sort of bullshit I might expect. Which female was that? The only one there was Taylor.”

In footage captured before the alleged incident, Taylor can be seen holding Scott’s hand as she walks to her car with an umbrella over her head. Members of her security team also use large umbrellas to block the paparazzi cameras.



Somebody else can be seen walking beside Taylor while holding the torch from their cell phone up at the waiting cameras — presumably to distort any photos that are taken. 

Her next concert will be in Singapore on Saturday, with the star scheduled to perform a total of six shows at Singapore National Stadium.
