Photographer who claims Taylor Swift’s dad assaulted him speaks out: ‘I was not aggressive’

An Australian photographer, Ben McDonald, 52, denies he provoked Taylor Swift’s father Scott during an alleged altercation on Tuesday. McDonald stated, “There was no situation where we were aggressive… They just didn’t call for it. I was not aggressive. They just didn’t call for it, you know what I mean? He added that the security detail seemed annoyed when they discovered where Taylor Swift was getting off the yacht.

Earlier, Swift’s spokesperson told Fox News Digital that McDonald had been aggressively pushing his way towards Taylor Swift and her security personnel. McDonald refuted this claim and stated that they don’t operate aggressively and aim to keep situations calm.
