Woody Harrelson Sued by Photographer

Woody Harrelson is being sued by photographer Josh Levine for $2.5 million for an alleged assault two years ago.  The photohrapher claims Woody choked him,  damaged his video camera and had his bodyguard assault him during an encounter in June 2006.

What exactly takes 2 years to file a lawsuit?

The photographer says he is still suffering mental, physical and emotional traumas from the incident.  He worked for tmz at the time and was videotaping Woody in Hollywood for that site when the alleged assault took place.

He also claims Woody ordered his bodyguard to attack him, and the unidentified bodyguard has also been named in the suit.

Woody has not issued a comment.

I really think the courts should just throw these suites out and tell the paps it's "just part of your job, I guess." Isn't that what the paps always say? "I'm just doing my job." Assholes.

I think Woody paid him to file so he could get his name back in the news.

Oh, okay, that was unnecessary cynicism. I agree with Barbara.
