Taylor Swift’s dad accused of assaulting Australian paparazzo

Listen, “dad defends daughter from invasive paparazzi” is never going to sway the public to the side of the paparazzi. Nevertheless, police are looking into an incident between Scott Swift, father of pop star and world conqueror Taylor Swift, and a paparazzo in Australia. Taylor and her family were recently in Sydney for the latest stop on her blockbuster Eras Tour, and there, like everywhere else, the media is desperate for a piece of her.

According to People, law enforcement is investigating an “alleged assault after a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf” around 2:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday. “The younger man reported the incident and inquiries are now underway by officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command. The man did not require medical treatment,” police wrote in a statement.
