(X) Taylor Swift's father was investigated on charges of ᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴄᴇ, video of the scene of the incident was released

Taylor Swift’s father has now become the talk of social media with allegations of breaking the law.

On the morning of Feb. 27, Pagesix reported that Scott Swift — Taylor Swift’s father — is currently under police investigation for alleged paparazzi. According to the source, the incident happened in the early morning of February 27 (local time) at 1 pier at the time Taylor Swift and her father went to celebrate after completing the Eras Tour in Sydney (Australia).

In the video released by TMZ, Scott and Taylor encounter the paparazzi while leaving a yacht. The reporter’s lens suddenly shook and this is believed to be the moment when the incident occurred.

Paparazzi Ben McDonald confirmed the attack by Scott Swift, saying there was no provocation: “I was punched in the left side of the face by him. Then I had a damp jaw pain. Mr. Scott must have felt he had to protect his daughter for some reason. But I didn’t provoke him. In my 23 years as a paparazzi, I’ve never encountered anything like it.”
