Black Eye, Browne Tear
Published January 17, 2003
Jackson Browne doesn't like the way he was portrayed in the TBS JFK Jr. biopic. According to Reuters:
- Browne's attorney, Lawrence Iser, said that he demanded in a letter to TBS that it "cease and desist" airing the program again "until false and defamatory scenes accusing Mr. Browne of assaulting actress Daryl Hannah are removed."
"Mr. Browne has never assaulted Daryl Hannah. Ms. Hannah never filed a police report claiming such an assault and Mr. Browne was never arrested for or charged with such an assault," a spokesman for the singer said. Hannah was a former girlfriend of both Browne and Kennedy.
The film shows Kennedy comforting Hannah after she was allegedly hit by Browne.
- Not Russell Turiak, though. That was his exclusive shot of Daryl Hannah and her shiner, allegedly inflicted by rocker Jackson Browne, that you saw on the cover of the National Enquirer last month, a major coup. When Turiak calls himself "a modern-day bounty hunter" or "a hit man with a camera," it is a statement of pride.
....Take the Daryl Hannah shot on the Enquirer cover. Together with another that shows her with John Kennedy Jr. in a TriBeCa restaurant, it has earned Turiak (who's an indie and keeps it all) more than $30,000 from publications in a dozen countries. The appeal was not just the intrinsic drama of a black-eyed beauty but the always potent Kennedy connection.
How'd he get that picture? When the Enquirer hired Turiak to stalk the star, he learned her address from another paparazzo who'd once followed her home. Then, leaving his cameras in his car, he spent 10 hours hanging around her apartment building on the Upper West Side on a Wednesday and another 12 on Thursday, before Hannah and another woman finally emerged at 9:30 p.m. on Friday. "She looked like a chimney sweep in this long coat and Air Jordans," he says. "She had a hat on and she kept pulling the brim down."
- TBS said in a statement that "Superstation Inc. acknowledges receipt of a letter on Jackson Browne's behalf. FOX Television Studios Inc., the producer of the movie, assures us that it stands by the accuracy of the movie."

Yes your right. He is a pussy and I believe he did hit her. He also looks like a crackhead now. Have you seen him lately? EWWWW.....Ghastly!!!
If he did smack her the bitch probably deserved it
of course, women and dogs need to be beaten regularly so they will know their place
Why beat dogs? Not enough women around your area?
By the by...as a woman...I am telling you...Daryl Hannah probably deserved a good belting
Pfft to pfft.
Well, if J.B. wants to waste his money, let him. He should know the flip side of being a public figure by now. And, frankly, what he is complaining about will reap more attention now that he has focused the spotlight on it.
I think the end result has been that it HAS been pulled from the show - what he wanted
Its his money to do with as he pleases. I really do feel for the man, he hasnt had a great run of luck in his life - though his lot has been better than some - probably including you and me.
btw I dont think he looks like a crackhead - I think he looks like he did 20 years ago...just somewhat more wrinkled...if he was a crackhead then he would be dead now...follow the logic?
We can be sympathetic with his loss (wife, or whatever she was's, suicide) without condoning striking another woman in the face giving her a black eye. What could the excuse possibly be other than self-defense? And I haven't heard that asserted.
What on earth would make you say Hannah deserved to be punched in the eye?
The fact that every report of her has had her as an arrogant conniving cow. However, if you had a brain youd probably have realised I wasnt quite serious - egads...where i the sense of humor these days...i guess it died with pogs
I'm glad you weren't serious - the Internet doesn't do a very good job of revealing nuance.
with a name like pfft? :P
btw Jackson Browne...woo...yummy
God some people are so stupid. Doesn't his track record indicate a disrespect for women? His first wife couldn't get away from the abuser so she killed herself. His second wife divvorced him after a year. And he was accused of hitting a third woman. The guy is an as$hole. And too the woman who posted and said she desered it, please log off and go back to your george forman grill outside your trailer. For the men who said a woman deseres to be hit I feel sorry for you obviously you feel impotent around women. I guess your mother really did a job on you;)
Ciao
Oh my!! Tatiana, go back to your cask wine. It was obvious that the people who stated Daryll Hannah deserved a beating were joking. As with JB's problematic relationships.....hmmmm....He has been with Diana Cohen (a renowned violinist) for over a decade. I doubt she would allow a beating (probably hit him back with her violin if he tried that on her). It's sad that people judge him with such ill inuendo. Imagine for a moment that the man lost his wife/love to depression etc, and here you are eating the poor man alive and blaming him for his wifes death that may I add happened over 30 yrs ago. He is simply a man like any other man. Unless we know his private life in intimate detail, we really shouldn't judge. Read the internet and one sees he is a very giving person (with causes etc), and happy in his present love. Not to forget for a man hitting 60, he is still a great looker. LOL....I wish I was his "somebody's Baby". Nah, better stick to my own husband, he is 30 years younger than JB.
