Trey Songz got into an altercation with a photographer at The Ivy and now his lawyer is blaming the media.
Trey Songz ran outta patience and apparently outta chill after allegedly roughing up an already-injured photographer outside a club in Huntington, NY.
The drama unfolded early Sunday, July 14, after Trey hit the stage at The Ivy. According to police and folks at the scene, Trey allegedly flipped out on a cameraman named Isaa Mansoor, who was already recovering from a previous injury.
Cops say Trey socked him in the head, slammed him into a wall, and trashed two cameras before dipping out. Mansoor ended up in the hospital with a concussion and other injuries. The Ivy’s owner reportedly tried to calm things down, but Trey wasn’t hearing it.
While Trey has been quiet publicly, his lawyer, Ted Anastasiou, tried to clean things up by blaming the press.
“The media is unfairly turning an unfinished story into clickbait to sell a new headline. That’s lazy and unfair,” he told TMZ.
He also claimed the situation at The Ivy was caused by “increasingly aggressive paparazzi invading an artist’s personal space,” calling it a growing issue that puts “everyone at risk.”
“Trey disputes the characterization of events, is cooperating fully with authorities, and looks forward to the facts, not speculation, speaking for themselves,” Anastasiou said.
He added that Trey is working with the cops and wants the facts to speak for themselves.
Last month, Trey almost got into it with a guy at an event and threatened to “beat” his ass, but thankfully, things cooled down and a fight was avoided.
