Brad Pitt’s security team releases statement on his scuffle last night.
ET received an exclusive quote from an Executive Protection Specialist involved in the paparazzi scuffle with Brad Pitt last night:
“We were told by Mr. Pitts’ people that he was being followed by numerous paparazzi that ran a minimum of 20 red lights to keep up with Mr. Pitt. When Mr. Pitt arrived at the theater approximately 7 paparazzi bum rushed the front door of the theater and began to rush inside. It’s security’s sole priority to protect the talent and I removed Mr. Pitt immediately from what could have been a potentially dangerous situation.”
The scuffle occurred last night at the Bruin Theatre in the Westwood area of Los Angeles as Pitt was attending a screening of his upcoming film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

This allows you to have Mr. that acts like Pitt. They’ll keep emptying Benjamin Button, telling themselves they’ll win it back. The most important decision shall be on bum.

The purpose of a security team is to protect the client from a possible or potential threat. In this case they new the threat and took no steps to control the clients enviroment, ie to recog the the social event and securing the set down area therefor ensuring a secure inviroment to work his obligations. In this case It looks like these guys just hang around thecient and react to the situation in hand and have no proactive skills as security. Shoddy I say, a client like that deserves and should have the best security available.
