New England Patriots Tom Brady Sued for $1M

The plaintiffs are seeking at least $1 million in damages from Brady and Bundchen, claiming that bodyguards shot at the photographers during the couple's after-wedding party at Bundchen's holiday home in Costa Rica.

The two men, already identified as Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviles, claim bodyguards shot at them, shattering the rear window of their vehicle, as they attempted to get unauthorised snaps of the ceremony this spring. The two photographers claim to have had proper authorization to take the pictures, but Brady's security team demanded the camera equipment from them.

Cortez and Aviles were attempting to make a quick escape in an SUV, when the security men opened fire and showered the vehicle with bullets. In the suit, filed in New York on Tuesday, the two men claim the bullets "narrowly missed" striking them. Both men have incurred expenses for medical care and treatment, medicines, nursing services, physical therapy and other treatment, the suit said.

Brady and Bundchen, who is pregnant with their first child, have not yet commented on the lawsuit. Most celebrities expect paparazzi at their wedding and prepare accordingly but is it necessary to have armed guards? Tom Brady is not the President of the United States. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. Instinct says that this will be settled long before the case goes to court.
