Another tale of high-fashion bringing out the beyotch in people. Nicole Richie reportedly went postal on a fan attempting to take her photograph outside a New York City earlier this week.

According to the New York Post, the former reality personality snatched the camera from an excited fan and smashed as she left a Fashion Week party hosted at The Country Club by designer Charlotte Ronson.

“A young, Swedish tourist was trying to take her photo. Richie shouted, ‘I’m not an animal’ then jumped over the velvet rope, ripped the camera out of the girl’s hand, and smashed it to the ground,” a source says.
