Tru TV is a website which looks through the rumours, reputations and innuendos to find the truth behind people written about in the tabloids. In this article, Tru TV take a look at celebrities who really do have some anger management issues and the reasons why. Below is a selection.
Christian Bale flew into a rage on the set of Terminator Salvation unleashing an angry obscenity-laced tirade against director of photography Shane Hurlbut who had distracted the star while adjusting a light. In his now-infamous invective, Bale threatened to stop production, "trash" the lights and "kick [Hurlbut's] a**." The full three-minute-49-second rant was audio taped and released on the Internet uncensored. A stunned public that was left questioning Bale's emotional stability, but not for long. Four days later, the Dark Knight star again made headlines when his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, filed assault charges against him for pushing and shoving them during a heated argument in his hotel room. Bale claimed Jenny insulted his wife Sandra "Sibi" Blazic.
Russell Crowe may have a Beautiful Mind, but he apparently lost it on June 6, 2005, when he couldn't dial his wife in Australia at 4 a.m. from his swanky Soho hotel room. After ripping the offending phone from the wall, Crowe threw it at the face of Mercer Hotel employee Nestor Estrada. On November 18, 2005, the "Gladiator" star (pictured with wife Danielle Spencer) pleaded guilty to third-degree assault before a Manhattan judge, who ordered Crowe to pay a $160 court surcharge and released him without jail time on condition he not be arrested for the next year.
Sean Penn first revealed his hatred of paparazzi in 1986, when he opened fire on press helicopters covering his wedding to Madonna. In 1987, he served 32 days in jail for assaulting an extra on the set of the movie "Colors" who reportedly tried to take snapshots, and in 1998, a photographer accused Penn of hitting him with a rock as he videotaped the actor and his father walking along a road. Penn once admitted, "Yeah, I punched them out and I'll do it again if it's necessary. I think a fist in their face is the only way to protect my private life."
Magazines will pay paparazzi top dollar for photos of camera-shy couple Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake. But snappers Saul Lazo and Jose Gonzalez got more than they bargained for when they caught the pair leaving Hollywood's Chateau Marmont on Nov. 6,2004. Diaz allegedly attacked Lazo, hitting him in the neck and tripping him to the ground. Timberlake allegedly jumped in front of Gonzalez to block the lens, and began yelling, "What ... are you going to do, man?" The photographers sued for assault and battery, emotional distress and physical harm. The celebrity duo reached an undisclosed settlement with the photographers in June.
Alec Baldwin is elite among Hollywood's irate after he not only covered a paparazzo's truck with shaving cream, but allegedly punched the photographer in the nose and broke his glasses in 1995. The photographer, Alan Zanger, had been trying to photograph Baldwin outside the home where the actor lived with then-wife Kim Basinger. Baldwin claimed he acted in self-defense, and a jury acquitted him of misdemeanor assault charges. A jury in a civil trial, however, found both parties responsible, but awarded damages to Zanger in the amount of $4,500.
