Jewish Reggae Matisyahu Kicks Woman in her Face

(Hollywood Reporter): "I was just attacked by Matisyahu calling cops pressing charges. Wtf! He kicked me in face and broke my camera!!!!!" Rebecca Smyne tweets from the Brooklyn event. Orthodox Jewish rapper Matisyahu, who made headlines last week for shaving off his beard, is now garnering media attention for entirely different reasons. Matisyahu who shaves off his signature beard at a concert in Brooklyn on Wednesday, the recording artist allegedly attacked a female photographer because her camera flash was too "distracting." During the concert, the photographer, Rebecca Smyne tweeted: "I was just attacked by mAtisyahu calling cops pressing charges. Wtf! He kicked me in face and broke my camera!!!!!" She later added: "I'm ok; after cops showed, matisyahu's manager, who witnessed the incident, gave me a fat stack of cash to cover damages. Happy hanukkah!" After the show ended, the "King Without a Crown" rapper tweeted several messages to Smyne. "Sorry about last night," he wrote. "I totally snapped. I wouldn't call it a kick, more like stepping into the crowd. And being that you've shot so many shows you should know how distracting a huge flash in your face is. Seemed like you were there everywhere I turned with that flash. Next time be more sensitive to the performer."
