LOS ANGELES — A former TMZ photographer has sued Britney Spears over an incident in which his foot was run over.
Ricardo Mendoza filed a civil lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles, claiming that Spears negligently operated her car and committed assault and battery when she ran over his foot in Beverly Hills on Oct. 18, 2007.
Several media outlets picked up footage of the incident, including celebrity gossip site TMZ, where Mendoza worked at the time. TMZ auctioned his tire-stained sock and donated the proceeds to charity.
The incident happened during a turbulent period for Spears.
