Singer punched in face by fan who screamed “I love you”
A pop singer’s fan has a very twisted way of expressing his “love.”
Singer Leona Lewis was punched in the side of the face during a London book signing Wednesday, Oct. 14, according to the BBC.
According to Metro, the singer’s 29-year-old accused attacker screamed “I love you” as Lewis ran away.
Her response, “I don’t love you.”
The attack shocked Lewis’ fans.
“He walked up there with a book, she signed it, Leona Lewis signed it, and as she looked up he just punched her,” a eyewitness told the BBC. “You actually heard the impact.”
The man was arrested after the attack.
“The security all jumped on him and they were trying to pull him out and he was just laughing,” another witness told the network.
The singer, who was signing copies of her new book, “Dreams,” was shocked by the attack, but not seriously harmed.
Lewis, a three-time Grammy, will release her second album in next month.

‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ ending in November
Smile if you are among the many who just want “Jon and Kate Plus 8” to just go away.
The family reality show will stop filming new episodes in November, according to The New York Post.
But don’t smile too big.
The previously announced “Kate Plus 8” may still be in the works.
According to the New York Post source, TLC is waiting for Jon and Kate to clear up their divorce problems before deciding what to do next.
There is of course a big problem there.
Around the same time he learned his name would be dropped from the show’s title, Jon told TLC they could no longer film his eight precious children.
