Liev Schreiber Did NOT “Kick Paparazzo In The Nuts,” Despite Lame BuzzFeed Story

Liev Schreiber did NOT “kick a paparazzo in the nuts,” despite a lame story from BuzzFeed.

On Friday, the site ran a piece with the headline, “Did Liev Schreiber Kick A Paparazzo In The Nuts?” along with several photos of the actor riding a bike in New York with his two young sons in tow.

A photographer is seen standing to the left of the star as he’s peddling, and in one of the pics, Schreiber’s foot appears level with the man’s crotch.

And that’s literally all there is to the blog’s story.

Now, Gossip Cop is well aware that it’s a slow news day, and there seems to be no malicious intent in BuzzFeed’s piece.

Still, this sort of empty speculation and desire to stir drama at the cost of accuracy is how rumors start in the first place.

It’s cheap, and there’s too much of it on the Internet today.

In any case, we checked in with a Schreiber insider, who tells us the photographer “didn’t get kicked in the nuts.”

Mystery solved.

Louis Tomlinson is under fire after tweeting about a Bootea smoothie he enjoyed, apparently not realizing it is sold as a weight-loss product.

The One Direction singer initially informed his 13.9 million Twitter fans, “Had an amazing @BooteaUK smoothie from Bootea.com this morning #booteashake.”

But as a number of Tomlinson’s outraged followers pointed out, Bootea is specifically geared for “weight loss,” a fact made clear on its website, which offers products that promise to “burn fat” and “suppress appetite.”

A backlash ensued, with Twitter users calling out the performer for seeming to promote a weight-loss shake to young fans.

Tomlinson ultimately deleted the tweet, but not before it was retweeted more than 10,000 times.

The Bootea Shake, meanwhile, is listed as “sold out” on the company’s website.

A rep for the singer explains, “Louis tweeted about the drink as he had one this morning and enjoyed it. However, he did not realize they are associated with weight loss, and would never endorse weight loss products.”
