Taylor Swift International singing sensation Taylor Swift's father accused of punching photographer in Australia
An Australian photographer has accused singing sensation Taylor Swift's father Scott Swift of punching him on Tuesday.
Photographer Ben McDonald, 51, told CNN he learned the singer was aboard a yacht in Sydney Harbor following her final show in the city on Monday night.
He told the American news channel that when Swift got off the boat, a security guard forced an umbrella into his face and camera, before he was punched by the star’s 71-year-old father.
A spokesperson of the singer claimed two people behaved aggressively towards them.
“Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water,” read the statement issued by Taylor Swift's spokesperson as quoted by CNN.
