Video of Jay Chou’s scuffle with the paparazzi circulated online

The Taiwanese pop star retaliated by filming and taunting reporters who had spotted him on a date with Hannah Quinlivan.

Why do you have to act like this?

So ask the reporters who incurred the wrath of superstar Jay Chou after they spotted him on a date with rumoured girlfriend Hannah Quinlivan. A video clip of Jay hitting back at the reporters has been widely circulated on the Internet.

Jay and Hannah, along with Jay's mother, his best friend Will Liu and an entourage of about 20 people, had gone on a date at a teppanyaki restaurant. When the group left at around 11pm, the paparazzi were finally able to get a photo of Jay and Hannah leaving one after another from the front.

Upon realizing the presence of the paparazzi after Hannah and Mrs. Chou boarded their ride, Jay and his friends got into a scuffle with the reporters present.

The video clip that documented Jay's actions had shown him instructing his friends to form a human barricade to block the three reporters present. Jay had whipped out his mobile phone and filmed the reporters. He referred to them as "Number One, ninja dog", "Number Two, horse face" and "Number three, monkey with glasses".

The singer asked the reporters while filming them, "Isn't this fun? There is no need to hide! Why are you hiding? There is nothing to hide!" The singer reminded the paparazzi to "smile" and even taunted them by saying, "you should go home and study instead of becoming paparazzi."

One of the reporters finally lost his temper and retorted, "Jay Chou, why do you have to act like this?!" The singer then replied in anger, "You're not allowed to call my full name!"

The tension escalated when both parties got into a scuffle. Jay's friend accused a reporter of "hitting his face" but the reporter denied doing so.

It was rumoured that Jay had grabbed the reporter by his collar and slapped him, causing his spectacles to fall. It was also said that Jay had used foul language to scold the reporter. However, these were not present in the video clip.

Two nights ago, Jay had uploaded a clip entitled "Jay's Cold News" to mock the paparazzi following him.
