“Hey, one—one more time, stop,” Washington reportedly said. “Let me tell you—stop, stop—never put your hands on me again.”
The actor, visibly angry, is seen pointing a firm finger at the man, who didn’t back down but instead smiled in response, as if dismissing the seriousness of the confrontation.
According to Freeman, Washington doubled down: “I’m talking to you. Stop, all right?”
The photographer, allegedly unfazed, responded with “Not allowed,” followed by a smirk and “Yes, yes, yes.” Moments later, he attempted to grab Washington again and asked, “Can I take a picture?”
That’s when the Equalizer actor lost patience. “Stop, stop it, stop it. I mean it. Stop, stop it,” Washington reportedly shouted, emphasizing each word.
Footage clearly shows him gesturing sharply and repeating “Stop it!” in an unmistakably stern tone, sparking debate online about celebrity boundaries and respect.
