A book signing for Leona Lewis‘ autobiography at a London bookstore ended abruptly after the singer was punched in the face by a male fan without warning this afternoon. “Leona was utterly shocked and appalled as it came out of nowhere,” a source told The Sun. “The man queued up patiently, then as soon as she signed his book he smashed her in the face. He didn’t say anything to her…She was doing a three-hour signing and planned to sign hundreds of books.” Her alleged attacker was arrested at the scene.
“She was running out with her hand over her eye and I just saw a man on the floor,” an eyewitness told the BBC. “Suddenly the security all jumped on him and they were trying to pull him out and he was just laughing, he thought it was funny.” Lewis’ representative confirmed the attack (“the police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought”) and has announced that she will not be performing on the BBC’s The One Show tonight as previously scheduled.

The more people like Simon Cowell puts these talentless karaoke singers into the public domain, the more likely these things are going to happen. People are SICK TO DEATH of these nobodies being shoved down our throat every five minutes, is it any wonder that people will resort to this sort of thing? … oh and wait for the braindead lemmings who actually buy her rubbish to reply with ‘Leona is lovely’ & ‘she is the best singer in the world’ Wake up and realise it is idiots like you that keep buying this **** that are the problem, all you are doing is filling the pockets of Simon Cowell and he is laughing at you!

I MUST CONFESS THAT I DECIDED TO FIGHT LIKE THE HISPANIC NEIGHBORS WHO WOULD RUN UP AND DOWN THE STREET AFTER EACH OTHER AND I COULD NOT MOVE FREELY SO I COPIED THEM AND STARTED TO HIT. THE WHOLE COMMUNITY CHANGED BUT THAT IS WHAT PUSHED RAP THROUGH PAST THE INDIAN TRIBES.
HISPANICS AND NATIVE AMERICANS POP EACH OTHER IN THE HEAD AND LAUGH THEY HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SHOWING.
WE DO NOT REALLY HIT EACH OTHER CHRIS B. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE TIRED.
WE DO NOT HIT LIKE IT IS A GAME, NATIVE AMERICANS STARTED THAT. YOU ARE OUT OF BREATH AND DO NOT NEED TO HIT. MOST BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT NEED TO HIT EACH OTHER IT IS LOWER FOR THEM BUT HIGH FOR HISPANICS.
THIS IS THE SECRET YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HITTING. I JOINED IN TO PUSH THROUGH RAP AND THE OTHER STUFF AND IT WORKED. I DID NOT HAVE YOU ALL FOLLOW AND PUT PEOPLE IN JAIL TO ME IF YOU DO NOT KNOW JAILS ARE WRONG THEN I CAN’T HELP YOU.
WHERE IS THE STORY ON CHRIS AND HIS ALBUM? THEY KNEW I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TELL ABOUT HITTING.
WHAT TOO “HAPPY” THERE SHE SITS AT THE FEET OF GODFATHERS WORLD WIDE WITH ALL THE MONEY BURIED BY THE COPS AND JESUS IN HAND,ALL THERE.
HIRED! BY A MEXICAN GODFATHER IN 1972 AND DELIVERED!!!!!HIRED TO THE JEALOUS PEOPLE LIKE THE ONE WHO HIT HER. I AM STILL IN SHAPE SO LEAVE THE ARTIST ALONE OKAY?
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!
BUT GET ME DOWN AND YOU MAY GET MY 3% SO HITTING???HA HA HA
LLAMA FEYETTE
why would this jerk do this to Leona? I love you Leona and hope you are alright. Lock the SOB up!!!!!!
I would have punched him back ha ha.
i dont like leona lewis but thats just crucial!
I don’t understand why security.
i can get why he hit her. he knows he had no other way f getting any attention from her, so he crept up. its sad, but its the only time he’ll ever be in the news.
