Apparently, Los Angeles Clippers player Lamar Odom was fed up with being photographed by paparazzi when he open a photographer’s car door, pulled out  bag of camera gear and threw it into the middle of the street.

The destructive act was caught on video, seen above. If he’s that calm during the whole thing, I just don’t understand why it never clicked to him that this is maybe a bad idea.

Selfie With Odom

What’s so crazy is that during his “calm tantrum” he poses with a fan for a photo! I don’t know who’s crazier – Odom or the fan for approaching him while he’s throwing cameras into the street….?

LAPD is investigating the incident with possible charges of felony grand theft and battery to follow.

    How does a man exhibiting such childish and irresponsible behavior earn any fans? I guess the bar for celebrity is pretty low these days.

    He needs to be arrested, charged with multiple crimes. Have to repay for all equipment. Loss of work due to damage of the photographers equipment. He should lose his job. PERIOD.

    I don’t care how rich you are you do NOT lose it and open a person’s car and drag their equipment out and toss it into the street.

    If he cannot handle the heat, he needs to be sent home in disgrace without a job. This comes with fame. Good or Bad. Accept it.

    What if that had been anyone else?

    I actually found the truck bed full of kids and the girl that left her car in the middle of the road to get a selfie with him more interesting! He definitely should pay for the damage though, but what a great video!!!
