As Taylor Swift and her father Scott Swift disembarked their yacht, they were met with several photogs looking to get images of the “Shake It Off” singer. According to Ben McDonald, the chief executive of Matrix Media Group, Taylor’s security staff began putting umbrellas into photographers’ faces, seemingly to shield Taylor from the photographers. When speaking with the Daily Mail, McDonald claimed Scott charged him unprovoked and claims there is a video to back his assertions that he never posed a threat to Swift. However, her team has refuted this.
When speaking with Entertainment Weekly on Monday, February 26, a spokesperson for Swift explained, “Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water.” In addition, this is not the first time that McDonald has been accused of bullying tactics when trying to capture a celebrity’s image.
