A New York Daily News photographer, who snapped some shots of Jessica Simpson at a New York club, allegedly was jumped by four bodyguards, a report says.
John Roca, a photographer for the Daily News, was invited by a club promoter to take shots of Simpson, 25, as she lounged on a divan outside a cabana about 2 a.m. Sunday at the Pink Elephant on Long Island, the newspaper said.
A publicist had told Roca that Simpson and Star Jones were both celebrating their independence -- Simpson from Nick Lachey and Jones from "The View."
The body guards grabbed Roca's camera and also snatched a memory card from his pants pocket, tearing a seam, the Daily News said.
"These guys jumped on me like a chicken on a June bug," Roca said.Simpson spokesman Rob Shuter said the guards were not Simpson's but the club's. Pink Elephant sources said the security guards were Simpson's, the newspaper said.
Roca filed a police report on the loss of his memory card, which was still missing.
