Did Scarlett get her facts wrong?

Scarlett Johansson car accident Well, according to the paparazzo, she most definitely did.

See, what was sold to us as a “Lohan-esque” paparazzi chase may actually be nothing more than a failed slow motion mouse hunt:

Scarlett Johansson’s claims of getting caught up in a traffic accident while trying to escape the paparazzi have been challenged by a photographer who witnessed the crash. […]

[Mario] Toruno, who saw the accident unfold as he sat at stoplights nearby, says: “When she was driving in to the parking lot, she was going very, very slow - maybe about 15 miles per hour - and she started veering to the left.

“It was almost like when you drop something on the car floor and you try to pick it up. Or she could’ve been busy talking with the two friends she had in her car. I couldn’t see what was going on inside of the car, but from the outside I could see that she wasn’t at all being chased when she hit the other lady’s car. […]

“I’m guessing that because she veered to the left, she was unable to see the other car - the only other vehicle at the parking lot entrance at that time - from her blindside. That’s when she slowly slammed into the other car. […]

“I’m sure Disneyland has video cameras at its entrance to prove that this is what happened. To be honest, we’d have been happier snapping pictures of Scarlett on the rides with her friends.

I hate it when good-hearted, non-stalking paparazzo are disappointed. C’mon you guys, there will be other Disneyland field trips. Promise.

Now wipe away those tears.
