Pig!

Kids in USA feels that pain every day! It is very commin in USA to slap the rear of kids in schools and at home, even with weapons such as a paddle and belt!

That’s was just wrong. Dead wrong and you see how he bit his lip as he was doing it? He did that on purpose. This guy supposed to be a youth pastor or something. Be careful who you trust your kids with in the name of God. Really gross! Yuck 🤢

She needs to get over herself, this is such an insult to women who have suffered true abuse. Disgusting what she is doing

She should get to slap his turd cutter now!!

sexual offender in process

Yeah... bad move for sure. I think I've found my new gamer tag though. ButtSlappingRunner

Am I the only one who thought he was wearing a Ghostbusters shirt?

If this was 1990, she would have slapped his ass right back and then they all would have laughed it off and grabbed a beer. You guys stay upset and mad at everything that comes at you in life 👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣

He had to grab quickly because it happened so fast. I’m call nig bullshit on the grab. Others grabbed her as well as you can see in the video. She was just embarrassed at the smack of her butt. Lol

No malice here.... she is looking for a payday and to ruin someone's life

Lol ok you’re losing us, lady

And to think he's a youth pastor.. Shame shame shame

Just a harmless joke no need to take it seriously just the snowflake generation.

Well I knew that was going to happen 🙄

Something must be in the water. People have lost their damn minds. 😑

Of he's gay, I'm laughing my ass off!

Yea make him lose his job & owe you money for the rest of his life lol

Oh geesh

Publicly stunt

Good

I’m sorry, but I think she’s over reacting. But that’s just me.

Good

I’m not saying what he did was right, but get the FK out of the runners path! Don’t try and be part of something you have no business being in !

$$$$$

She is ridiculous! He apologized on national TV and as he said he had a spontaneous bad moment. This woman should use this as an example to the world of how people learn and are forgiven.. I’m sure she has had a bad moment

Imagine all his church kids that are about to come forward 😬😬😬😬

She has every right. What he did was wrong.

I hope she receives the justice she deserves.

Only in America thats all I’m sayin

Good!

Good. Get your coins sis!

BKB29

I wonder whose husband this is

A little much.

The wife of this ‘loving husband’ must be so proud.

Don’t back down. Not cute, not funny, not acceptable. When are you boys going to grow up?

Kinda looks like a dirtbag version of EdSheeran

Pervert

I don't agree with this. He was wrong but sexual battery?

My advice: 'Don't sweat the small stuff in life. Laugh it off. Laughter solves more problems than anger.'

🙄

Good

No man has a right to touch a woman without her permission or no woman has the right to touch a man without his permission either

As she should..😌💪

She’s pretty hot! I mean the urge to slap that little ass would be pretty high

What was his intent if not criminal by hitting someone standing by the road, was it sexual by grabbing a young girl's ass, or was it just being sophomoric like we've heard elsewhere. Let's ask his wife, kids and boss?

Is it sexual bc she thinks it’s sexual or is it assault?

This is awesome! I hope he gets the maximum punishment. This dude was a complete ass and got caught, what a fool! Next time he might keep his hands to himself.

That guy looked right at her butt to do it she should press charges

Tom Brady about to be doing life without parole with all the ass slapping.

A tad overkill but whatever

Good.

These comments here are disgusting. If it were a male reporter, this would not have occurred. Women have the right to NOT be assaulted and/or physically humiliated. I’ve run marathons all over the world. This is outrageous. wsavalexb ChargeHim

I am sure she is feeling violated! It was on TV “ live” and she not expecting someone to come up and do that while she is doing her job.

Oh the horror. She deserves millions. Slap him with a fine and be done.

This wouldn't have happened if she was in a kitchen cooking a nice meal or cleaning the house.

KatiePavlich He had no business inserting his finger in a place that the sun does not shown. Just look at the reaction on her face. Totally outrageous

Police report is here

This was NOT sexual battery, it was a stupid act for which the man has apologized, and offered to apologize in person, this is going too far

Stop being so butt hurt

She wants a little more than 15 mins of fame

But if it was Tatum she wouldn’t mind

OMG HOW STUPID

Than the worse part about it is that he's a youth minister and works in the house of the lord around kids. But your going around being sexually misogynist towards women and your a 'YOUTH MINISTER'...

At least he didn't yell 'F*CK HER IN THE PU$$Y'... 😂😂😂

They should meet face to face. He did make a mistake and this day not a wise man! She should chose what she would think is fair punishment and see what happens.

❄️

As she should 😌

Proud of her Guys need to stop thinking this shit it okay. Make him a lesson for others

He's a guy that did something stupid and probably has the mentality of a meathead frat boy, but this is hardly criminal and worth the time, money and effort of legal action.

Did he say “good game”?

The whole metoo movement feels like it was a waste of time when you read comments from men who think this young women getting assaulted in front of everyone & cameras is no big deal. Not surprised we still have a lot of rape and domestic violence in society.

He assaulted her period how many dudes would feel differently if this was there wife or daughter?

Amazing how she could actually make herself unlikeable in a situation like this.

So you decided to smack a big booty liebra on the but hzhhzhzhzhzzhshs.

Getting her15 minutes

Pick your battles. . Life goes on..long after the thrill of living is gone ...Johnny, cougar mellencamp

Can tmz provide a photo of the butt in question? It still has to pass my eye test.

Lesson here: keep your hands to yourself.

Do you think he should be charged or has he suffered enough because his name's all over the internet & will be banned from marathons?If your daughters, sisters or wives were smacked on the a*s in front of everyone at work what justice would you want for them?

Yes, do it. This asshole is a counselor and married. Why is he acting like this. disgraceful. Come on guys shape up.

YOU GO GIRL, SUE THAT MF

Time to unfollow lol

Little overboard

Damn she really went that far!

OMG grow up it aint that deep

I’m all for this, especially since he is also a Scout Leader and whatever other mentor he was, I forgot.

DO IT! 👏🏼

Her facial expression gave me the sads

Loving father and husband.... Huh?

TMZ spends day in and day out sexualizing women and seem surprised when someone physically show’s “who’d they rather”

Sexual battery for a smack on the bum, that seams a little harsh.

Those comments in the tmz show much much ppl are assholes men & women defending this behavior

Good for her. 👍🏻

Bravo!! Good for her!!👍🏻👍🏻

“a married youth minister with two daughters.” Not surprising.

Is that Ed Sheeran LOL

As she should!!!!

To anyone who thinks she is just'seeking attention ' or that it's not a big deal, can go straight to hell. When you get there, find the other ass clowns that think it's ok to assault and harass women. Smh, ridiculous!

He's a white man in America , ain't nothing going to happen to him,she would have A better chance putting him under the jail by the system if he was a black man.

I’d catch up to those balls and squeeze them till the “POP”.

Disrespectful pervert

His apology was pathetic, he’s def back peddling and so meant to do what he did, his face tells all!

Do it!! Don’t even question that shit! He violated the shit out of her and should pay the price!

Good. Fuck that guy! 🙌🏽

OMG... He ran by and slapped her on the ass.. oh the horror.. oh the humanity of it all.. I hope she will survive that !!!

Keep your hands to yourself.. accept the apology and move on. This was not sexual in nature. Unless you get sexed up mid marathon. In which case your a psycho.

That was no accident. He’s scary.

She certainly should. This guy didn’t just wake up yesterday and start doing this. He likely has a history. Teach him a lesson he won’t soon forget.

Now shes gonna get all the attention she wants

Stop being butt hurt

Over reacting.

Not hard to keep your hands to yourself.

Did it hurt that bad ?

Good on her!

I mean she’s lucky he didn’t knock her to the ground standing in the path of runners.

I just don’t get it!!! Have some Respect ✊🏼!!!!

Slap a little booty, lifes too short

Sexual battery? Come. On.

She should

a term that is used to refer to contact made with someone’s body that is both sexual in nature, & unwanted, or forced. The differ. between sexual battery and rape or sexual assault is that the latter 2 behaviors involve the act of sexual penetration without the person’s consent

Double standard... girls can get away with it but guys can’t. I agree it was wrong but had it done to me by a girl at work I just shrugged it off and moved on.

Should learn the fine art of tripping an assaulter.

She look like she had a orgasm.......

Keep in mind this is a redneck from a red state. If the president he voted for grabs p***ies, of course he feels entitled to similar, misogynistic behavior. All the women of Georgia should line up and take turns kicking this guy in his little dingus

Good for her!!! I hope she wins.

Seriously?...smh

This is sexual assault. Nothing short of. He just learned his behavior has actions. And they said he is a youth minister. Would I want him around my kids, nope!

She absolutely should 😡😡😡

He's a youth minister....sounds just about right. Douche

C'mon. Take your spankings!

Well being a father, I'm sure he wouldn't want someone doing that to his daughter. Wake up dude and act your age.

Good...perves need to learn to keep their f*ckin hands to themselves

Really smh what you would do for a $1

“Surprise! The runner who slapped reporter Alex Bozarjian’s butt during a live broadcast is a youth minister and Boy Scout leader who just wants to “correct the situation” according to his lawyer.'

Her reaction 💔 I remember being violated this same way. I was 16. I never forgot it. I felt angry and so vulnerable. I hope he realizes the impact of his actions.

As she should.

Maybe she should've stayed in the kitchen and that wouldn't of happened.

Come on, what he did was tottaly wrong but stop with the criminal charges. Have him apologize and move on. Don’t ruin the guys life just so you can keep your name in the press. This will actually hurt you in the long run if you keep pursuing this. Move on.

good for her fk that

Bruh I get slapped on my but like every day

He is giving a bad name to red headed men everywhere. In my experience, they are sweet and athletic.

Umm...also a butt slap isnt sexual assault...its done all the time in sports as a motivation tool for doing good or making a good play!? Brett Favre was known for his powerful butt slaps...

I wouldve just clocked him.... Lesson learned, no cops or drama.

Hey tmz...what's the latest news on the lady shot by police while in the house with her nephew!?

Oh God. Move on

She should. Men can’t touch our bodies like that and IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

Battery? That seems excessive. How about attempted murder too

If he's a husband and father as they say then he has a wife and possibly a daughter. As such, he should have the sense to imagine them is such a position and how he would feel if they were assaulted in this way.

Thug life😎

You can spot all the pervy rapists in this thread. Its NEVER OK to touch someone on the rear end unless its YOUR man or woman. Might not be earth shattering but he deserves all the consequences.....who does he think he is anyway?!

Happens all the time. It is part of sport. Get over it.

assholes everywhere... 👎

Oh good lord.

Man she probably liked that shit

Just stop! WTF!

Good

Good luck trying to find him 😂

TV Reporter Groped During Live Report at Georgia RaceReporter Alexandrea Bozarjian was groped while reporting live from the Savannah Bridge Run on Saturday. This happens all too often! This is absolutely incredible! I run 4 days a week with a number of woman, I have a wife, a daughter and a daughter-in-law and this is completely unacceptable! I hope she presses charges. If he smacked her face, would it be more clearly an assault? But because it's sexual in nature toward a woman, it's less so? Gotta stop.
