Richards Tosses Laptops Off Balcony

If there ever were a competition of the most bizarre ways to fight off the paparazzi, Denise Richards would be sure to take one of the top spots. We have heard of physical violence of many variations but throwing laptops off a balcony is certainly a first. Richards may have been aiming for the paparazzi`s camera, or head, but accidentally hit two elderly ladies who were sitting in the lobby, causing them minor injuries.

Two photographers were trying to get a good look at Richards through gaining access to her current movie set, but obviously Richards wasn?t in the mood for any snapshots. Lucky for her, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Peter Thiessen says it?s not in the public interest to bring criminal charges.

Richards is an American actress and former fashion model. She came to fame in the late 1990s, after a string of films that highlighted her sex appeal, including Wild Things and a Bond installment titled The World Is Not Enough. Richards is also known for her marriage to (and divorce from) actor Charlie Sheen.
