Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington moved to New York to escape the Aussie paparazzi who wouldn’t give them peace.
Aww, guys. Dear, sweet, naive lovebirds.
That hasn’t worked out so well for the famous couple, who’ve ended up in a serious legal battle with a camera man who claims LB kicked him in the shins and SW punched him four times in the face.
It certainly didn’t help the Bingle-Worthingtons and their dream of privacy, that Sam was overheard calling Lara his wife (though how these two scandal-magnets kept their marriage a secret is a complete mystery).
Worthington appeared in court overnight on assault charges, and stayed completely silent during the proceedings.
Here’s Sammy W taking a spin in the backseat of a Manhattan police car.
Sam’s been ordered to stay away from photographer Sheng Li for 6 months. Li was arrested on reckless endangerment, assault and harassment charges, but he stands by his story that Lara attacked him first.
This is what Li’s lawyer, Ronald Kuby, had to say about the altercation: “He [Li] was on the job taking pictures and Ms Bingle got upset and ran half way up the block and attacked him. Her large famous boyfriend ran up and punched him four times in the face.
“Lara Bingle was the only one who claims there was a kick, nobody witnessed the kick, she has no mark on her leg. Why on earth would my client be taking pictures of Lara Bingle then run up to her and kick her in the shins? It doesn’t make any sense.”

'I got it on video' umm... no you didn't. Seems like he's stirring the pot for publicity.
He sounds like a really unprofessional lawyer to be speaking on the radio and speculating on Lara. Strange.
