Keanu Reeves who is one of the most popular stars of the Hollywood especially amongst the ladies, gets a little unpopular amongst the paparazzi. A photographer named Alison Silva sued the ‘Matrix’ star accusing of being hit with Reeves 1996 Porsche in an unfriendly encounter earlier this year. The suit though reports to have claimed that Alison was struck on March 19th by Reeves which led Silva suffer serious injuries and trauma. This lawsuit has been filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court.
The scene as reported on that particular day was that the paparazzo followed Reeves out of the residential near Los Verdes County Golf Course, about 30 miles south of downtown Los Angelesand, where he was seen blocking his way when the superstar got into the car to leave the parking space. Reports from Reeves lawyers say that the star assumed that Alison would move away from the car once he started to slowly inch the car away from the curb. The car was being moved so slowly that even if Alison did get a bump it would not have been as injurious as the lawsuit claims. For the lawyers and for Reeves himself it was more like as though the encounter was made deliberate. Commenting on the incident Reeves said:
You think I liked running him over? That guy was jammed in my wheel well for like 1/2 an hour – think about that! The first quarter mile I thought he’d drop out, but those people are just so persistent!

If only the stars were to be left alone with their personal lives, the stars would be relived and can live normal lives like others, but the tabloids will soon shut down then. Celebrity news has become such a hit amongst the youth and the women that there is not much of a choice left either for the celebrities or for the paparazzi than to get accustomed to the drama.
