Orlando's Rep Issues Statement
Posted on Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:14 PM PDT

ET has the text of a statement just issued by Orlando Bloom's rep about his car accident early this morning:
"Orlando Bloom, who was in a minor car collision late last night, is grateful that no one was seriously injured. Bloom called for help immediately following the incident. He spent last night at the hospital to be with his childhood friend who sustained a minor neck injury. He is thankful that emergency services arrived so quickly and that the ER staff at Cedars Sinai took such good care of his friend."
Well, that settles that - but notice how deftly it avoids the subject of Orly's alleged drinking earlier in the evening! Could there be more to the story? Stay tuned...


At least it sounds like his friend's OK - after seeing her hauled away on the stretcher, that's certainly a relief!

DOUCHE!

If he was drinking I know he feels guilty as hell. As he should.
he didn't deny intoxication rumors...hmmm...
Why do people make so much of these things? So he got into a minor, one car wreck. He wasn't found to be drinking or using drugs, so, really, what's the big deal here, shit happens, to ALL of us.
He didn't need to because the police already said that he wasn't under the influence! Duh!
Funny how it didn't mention the fact that the photogs had to "remind" to go back and "deal with it"
Are you kidding? More to the story?? Every story you report on about Britney Spears is either not at all the truth or "kinda" the truth. How about that video yesterday after court? She said something about the judge, but you left that out of your reporting. Everything you say about that fat nasty thing otherwise known as Britney is made up to kiss her ass
X17 always LAST with the latest
Glad paps caught him fleeing and talked some since into him
If not he'd be in jail
Nice job, douchebags. Considering you and those of your ilk likely caused it in the first place - you were hardly 'just in the neighborhood' when it happened. (Cutting celebs off, blocking them off when they're leaving a parking spot - that's how you toads operate.) Reminding him to go back to the car? Please - he wouldn't do that since every effin' camera in the area was on him. He may have thought he could get to a busier street and flag down a cop faster than calling 911 (who had probably already been called).
Unfortunately for you, he passed a drug/alcohol screen at the hospital. Move along, nothing more to see here.
He was told by one of the paps to go back and "deal with it" and he say's "really?" Where does it say he "passed" a drug/alcohol screen?
All you idiots blame the paps but their just doing their job, when they show your precious "celebs" in a bad light you Fan-tards, always complain and blame the paps....
quit trying to divert our attention away from the real controversy: your paps caused the accident. end of story. he wasn't leaving the scene, he was calling for help. don't insult us with your lame assertation that he was trying to run. we don't buy it.

Acutally i think x17 should post the entire video from right after the crash (somehow i'm sure you guys have it. Your photographers weren't just talking an early morning stroll on some random street were they?)because that will probably put the "orlando walking away" part into better perspective. If he crashed into the car and got out and bolted then let us see that but i suspect (as usual) that there's more to the story. Because i'm sorry but even if he was a douche enough to walk away with two people he clearly knows injured in the car, would he really have bailed like that with all the photogs around? What are you hiding from us x17?
todie pie-
Its not a "lame assertation" but a fact, it was caught on vid! Saying the paps caused it, is a lama assertation, IMFO
Why didn't the PAPS call 911 the moment the accident happen? Instead, they stood around taking pics. The police could have been on their way before the car doors even opened. DISGUSTING!
Those paps are vultures. They probably caused this crash. Then they took video and snapped pics instead of calling for help. How about showing us all you've got on this, I'd like to know the WHOLE story!
Go back to the post with the "eye witness report" of x17 - second pic. You can clearly see him leaning towards Cher (the baldy injured woman in the back) and he didn't only lean towards her, he was clearly touching and perhaps checking if she was concious..
WHAT???!!
His FIRST REACTION was to walk away???!!!!
THIS IS WHAT X17 IS TRYING TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE!!!! @Anon 1:00 pm
Watch the vid! Hello! He is walking away, a pap tells him thats hit and run and he needs to go back and "deal with it" and he says "Really?"
WTF its all on the vid....He is sooo lucky because he was higher than a kite...
Dame he must be paying his Mouthpiece major cash, saying "MINOR" about it all, the crash, his friends being hurt in the crash and he goes on and on about how minor it all was. I never would go to see a movie with him in it the douch bag!
Isn't Britney sueing you guys for putting the Orlando Bloom story 1st on your website today?
How do you hit a non moving parked car? Hell ya he was drunk.
YEAH X17, YOU SEEM TO AVOID THE SUBJECT ON EVERY BRITNEY POST AS WELL, SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!
i wanna see GET OVER IT's "LAMA ASSERTATION." always loved unicorns and llamas but don't see the connection here.
Well if you can't see it in the vid thats posted on this site, you might as well be looking at unicorns & lamas, lol!
When I got into a car crash, I was completely dazed and walked away too. Not to flee the scene but because I was all shaken up. I am not saying whether Orlando Bloom was just out of it and shaken up or "fleeing the scene" but I do agree the paps should have called 911 before taking the money shots. Whatever. Glad no one was seriously injured.
that cop is hot!
Orlando is So Hot!! and even more now that i know he's a bad boy, oh gawd!!! he's sooooo Hot.
I got in a car crash where I was spun around like a top. I was disoriented and didn't know if I was dying, but got right out and exchanged information.
HOWEVER. I don't think Orlando was running away. Where would he go? He's gonna walk back home? He probably had the vague idea that he could go find a cop on foot.
People always think one or the other must be to blame. It was BOTH the paps AND Orlando's drunken, horny insanity.
Yeah, but he DIDN'T even check to see if all his friends were alright before he walked away 'to find a cop' or whatever you're saying.
i seen the story lastnight when x17 put it on their site, and yeah to me it looked like he was leaving the scene, the video DID show the pap saying to him dude you gotta go back and handle this or your gonna be in trouble and he said "really?" then he walked back to the scene, now im not saying he WAS leaving or not, who know's what was going on in his head, but he was quite a bit away from the scene when the pap told him to go back, now all that aside, im wondering how the hell those piece of shit paps could sit there and take photo's of a hurt bleeding woman, and not offer any help or really do anything, how fucking rude and disrespectfull, and yeah the cops did say alcahol and drugs were NOT a factor in this accident, i think the paps caused it, how the hell does someone slam into a parked car if they were not DUI? can't there be any kind of charges laid against the paps that did nothing but take pictures of this hurt woman? kinda like the failure to stop at an accident charges, and stuff like that, i don't know about there but here if you see an accident and don't stop or do anything you can be in trouble, i'd like to see some of these scum get into shit for the way they cunduct their business, but i honestly think he was leaving, but like i said who know's
WHY DIDN'T SHE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIM FLEEING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT????? that's not minor, hit and run is a crime. HE ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE SCENE UNTILL PAPARAZZI TOLD HIM HE HAD TO GO BACK. why did she skip over that??
"how the hell does someone slam into a parked car if they were not DUI?"
its called being reckless. you've never seen someone hit a parked car where do you live?
dude how the fuck does anyone know if he just freaked out for a minute.. i have freaked out on shit by not thinking clearly as i am sure everyone has and don't come back and reply that i am a fucking dipshit either haters! i mean that was his friend for crying out loud!!! he was probably pretty scared! think of all the other drunk fucks that just drove off during a wreck! not taking up for him by saying he is innocent.. i am just saying noone knows what the hell was going through his mind! and blaming the paps??? talk about the lowest of the low to be crouching down to take pictures of the injured girl on the ground! what kind of fucked up shit is that? that pisses me off more than anything!!! no respect! no dignity! not a tinsy ounce of courtsey! all they could think about was how much fucking money their paycheck was gonna be for a picture and a video.. job snobb whatever dicktards!
LOOK AT the COPS FACE He is PISSED . Orlando is FUCKED. All those witnesses . Say good bye to a chunk of LORD OF THE RINGS Money! Im thinking I should move to LA and just drive late nite waiting for a spoiled fuck celeb that can afford a driver to stubbornly drive drunk and hit my ass. My Ghetto Megamillion WIN!!!
he was not fleeing the site u morons. He was in shock. That brunette is his sister Samantha. He would not leave her there in a borrowed car. He was just trying to calm down.
Well, his publicist referred to either his stylist, Cher Coulter, or his 'sister' as a childhood friend. Those were the only two people in the car besides Orlando. So, which one is the 'childhood friend' that Bloom's publicist referred to? Was it his sister or his stylist? Can Robin Baum get her PR sh*t together or not? Then again, she's lied before for Bloom; that's her job. And if that's his sister Samantha, she's lost a lot of weight and seems taller than she used to be. Looks older, too. I don't think that's his sister. And people who are drunk or under the influence of substances have NO BUSINESS GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR. PERIOD. Go back to England, Orlando, and stay away from clubs and paparazzi hot spots. The stress and garbage you constantly create and endure while playing Paparazzi Tag can't be worth this sort of thing, can it? Avoid the clubs and hip celeb restaurants where the scumbag paps hang out. Get a clue! Dine in with friends and keep it low key. Johnny Depp and Viggo Mortensen manage to keep working, making films and avoiding all this crap that you somehow manage to always find. And never mind calling the club hopping and ritzy dining places a form of 'networking' to secure work as an actor. Depp, Motensen and others can secure work minus the PR and paparazzi following. If it's REALLY all about the WORK and NOT the FAME, grow up at age 30 and act like it!!! Take a hint from the actors whom you claim to admire!!
Paps should be more careful. I think they caused the accident. You're gonna be in trouble x17. Specially the guy whose refflection is seen on the car's window. Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja
That happens when you dont care about other people's privacy when they ask for it. Orlando hates paps.
who the fuck cares? You all care? really are you all just here cuz like me there isn't much else going on and I like to hate on people and shit? Orlando looked fucked up, he crashed a car, he looked like he was walking away, but he went back. end of story, the paps took pics of that poor girl all bloody and fucked up. But we all sanction that by posting and blogging on websites like this so we are all fucked in the head. We are all low lifes, we feed off these paps that's why we are here. So eat this shit and stop complaining people.
omg i luv Orlando bloom so much i could just make out with him all night
I dodn't think he was really drinking, I am on his side
