Pissed Holmes involved in drunken stoush with Photographer

by Whaleoil on December 23, 2009

While Millie Holmes is in the news again her father is desperately trying to keep a story on the down low.

The NZ Herald is also busily trying to hush all this up because it wants to keep its star columnist but an impeccable source tells me that there was a  fight between a NZ Herald photographer and Paul Holmes at the end of the (separate) Herald and HoS Christmas parties. Apparently the photographer had his shoulder dislocated for taking pix of a very inebriated and worse for wear Holmes by a couple of toughs hanging around with Holmes.

It has been reported to me that he was buying drugs and the 2 guys were his dealers ie. Gangsters. Paul Holmes ran off and the photographer got dealt to by the thugs.

All of this was captured on the Herald car park building security footage and the photos were not deleted before a fair swag of Herald management saw them.

Police attended but the photographer was told by management not to press charges against Holmes’ thug friends. Tim Murphy and APN should be hauled over the coals for backing Paul Holmes over their now injured photographer.I imagine that the  Herald staff are all right pissed off that its been kept quiet due to the attack on the photographer. Fancy getting snot kicked out of you for doing your job then told you can’t press charges?

Shameful.

Funny that. A lowly photographer is not worth half as much to APN as its columnist-cum-potential SuperCity Mayor.

Wouldn’t you love to see those pics in the mayoral campaign……I sure as hell would. This blogger is working hard to obtain either stills or footage of the incident.

I fully expect Tim Murphy will will burst forth on the online version denying everything.

    I read about the incident some where and remember thinking that it was incredibly fishy that the photographer was not pressing charges.
    I assumed ( correctly as it turns out ) that he was either paid off by Holmes to keep MUM or hushed up by his boss.

    Star columnist? That midget cunt writes like old people fuck! His columns are a receptacle of shite.

  • Michaels

    Well fuck me!!!
    I thought Holmes had sorted his shit out.
    He was of course well known for his drunk nights out.
    All a bit sad really, but go Whale, work on it.

      Only old women should shag old men Cactus.
      It just makes sense. Their eye sight is failing, their sense of smell is on the blink……….
      Remember that scene from Sex in the city when the really hot one of the group bonks a much older man? She enjoys it ( the lights are very low ) but then he gets up to go to the toilet and the harsh light from the loo shows his rear end in all its wrinkled glory. At that point she starts dry retching and heads for the front door!

    Is that a Red Bentley seen behind the ample girth of P Holmes. I suppose the Passat is used for the more anonymous excursions

      Last time I saw Holmes he had a black Bently with a personalised plate.

    Here we go again with this 'complaint' crap. make it clear to your photographer mate he doesn't need to make a complaint. his bosses can go suk. The police have an incident of an alleged assault. End of story they attended they must investigate. Assault is a crime , a crime doesn't require the permission of the victim to prosecute.
    I'll bet you a penny to a pound of goat shit the police never received a 'complaint' to charge you!!
    if you want to stir some shit complain about the matter to the PCA.
