Nicole Richie rips camera out of fan’s hand and smashes it

Sep 14, 2008 - Nicole Richie is the latest celebrity to engage in the art of camera smashing. The petite 26 year-old mother was leaving a party at a NY club on Friday night when she jumped over a rope and threw a young tourist’s camera to the ground, shouting the phrase popularized by 1980 film The Elephant Man, “I am not an animal!” Nicole Richie kicked off the diva fits at an after-party for Charlotte Ronson by grabbing a fan’s camera and smashing it to the ground. While Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson were celebrating at Country Club on West 14th Street with host Alan Philips of Sky Group, Richie left early at 11 p.m. - 3 Comments
