Mischa Barton Lashes Out At Cellulite Photographer

Mischa Barton has lashed out at a photographer who snapped her in Australia sunbathing topless with cellulite on her thighs.

The 22-year old is furious images taken by Jamie Fawcett have appeared in an Australian magazine and online and has accused Fawcett of disrupting her vacation with her mother Nuala on Hamilton Island, off Australia's East Coast.

She says: "He's a ridiculous human being. I've never abhorred anyone more. I was so angry, I went up to him and said how disappointed I was with his behaviour. He apologised but he was very insincere."

But Fawcett claims he warned Barton about stripping off before he had even captured her on film - and insists she could have found a private spot to seek an all-over tan.

He tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph: "We spoke to each other on the island, and that's when I showed her my camera and I hadn't taken any shots of her topless.

"I did warn her it was a public place, and if she wanted privacy she shouldn't be there.

"I'm not a perv, and I didn't intentionally mean to embarrass her. I don't just set out and start my day thinking I want to get any celebrity topless."
