JOHNNY DEPP‘s bulldogs bodyguards have been accused of tackling a handicapped woman and wrestling her to the ground, a police station report says. Do people who get too close to Johnny really deserve that special Secret Service treatment?
It’s either Johnny has a specific clause in his security detail contract stating he merits the same protection level as the President, or at least a very important foreign dignitary with diplomatic immunity…or he’s simply had the misfortune of being designated with the most overzealous guardians in Hollywood (barring Justin Timberlake‘s own muscled paparazzi-assaulting nannies, that is).
Do you remember two months ago when Johnny‘s security detail bodily hauled him away from fans at the New York premiere of “The Rum Diary” while he was still enjoying an autograph-signing and picture-taking tête-à-tête from behind a barricade? And then before that when one of them actually tackled him to the ground after he emerged slightly inebriated from a restaurant?
This time around, the victim, 52-year-old Robyn Ecker, who’s reported to be a disabled individual (although what kind of disability she has was never mentioned), merely happened to be dancing too close to Johnny at an Iggy Pop concert in L.A. where she had treated her husband to $600 V.I.P. tickets for his birthday.
So what do you do at an Iggy Pop concert? Remain seated and try not to move to avoid disturbing fellow concert-goers from their meditative listening enjoyment of punk rock?
Apparently that’s what Johnny‘s bodyguards deemed to be appropriate, because when Ecker accidentally strayed into what was defined as Johnny‘s outer security perimeter, his people pounced on her, grabbed her wrists, and wrestled her to the ground.
In fact, they traumatized her so much she had to leave mid-concert and check herself into a hospital for injuries.
And when celebrity news tried to reach Johnny‘ camp to get their side of the story, they were met with a stone wall and equally stoney silence. Savvy?
All things considered, at least Robyn Ecker should be grateful she didn’t have any lasting injuries, except the one to her dignity.
