Why do incompetent parents of a 6ft 17 year old insist he bother her for a picture. They are too cheap to buy a poster of the lady. People get a grip stars do not want to be bothered by a bunch of idiots.

LMAO!!! they court fame. if they didn't want to be in the public eye then they sure as hell chose the wrong profession.

An apology amounts to an admission of guilt, following which they would then conveniently "change their minds" about pursuing monetary damages and use it against her to sue her in court for mega $$$. Don't do it Jodie!!!

Doesn't want fame but calling radaronline everyday? She never HIT him! She grabbed his arm to speak to him about scaring her children, he hollers "assault". You owe HER an apology for stalking her and her kids.

she shouldn't have touched him.

She really doesn't need this bad publicity and negative perception of her. She should just offer an apology and then move on.

Bet Jodie's handlers got to the video tape and took care of her little problem. I know paps can be asses but attacking a kid is wrong, laying hands on another person is wrong. Didn't she throw a hissy fit about getting caught speeding?

Wow Gracie's Mommy angry much? The family has not only as for just an apology, they have also asked for the videotape in question to clear this young man's name, which by the way, no one can find. Jodie needs to own up to what she did and move on.

Money or not...she should of never laid a hand on him! By now Foster should know what happens when you go out in public being famous. All part of being able to have MILLIONS. Poor them! BooFreakingHoo
