The actress grabbed a photographer's laptop and threw it over the balcony of the set of BLONDE AND BLONDER at the River Rock Casino and Hotel in Richmond, British Columbia, where it landed on an 80-year-old pensioner in a wheelchair, leaving her slightly bruised.

In an interview airing on US TV show ACCESS HOLLYWOOD tomorrow (13NOV06), Richards says, "I am not justifying my behaviour. It was wrong.

"I saw one of the photographers, went up to him and offered to give him a few nice shots and asked him to please leave so we can focus on our scene.

"He wouldn't and he got really belligerent and he was saying vulgar, nasty things to me and made a derogatory remark about my family. I just did what I did and I feel terrible.

"Over the balcony it went. It was a big mistake on my part. I'm not volatile at all. I'm not aggressive. I've never been with the paparazzi. I feel bad that I ended up doing that."

CORPORAL PETER THIESSEN, a media relations officer for the Richmond Royal Canadian Mounted Police, says no criminal charges have been filed and Richards is paying for the damage to the computer.

Thiessen says, "The photographers, Denise Richards and her management company have agreed to settle the matter civilly regarding the damages to the photographers' laptops. It is not in the public interest to forward criminal charges regarding this matter."
