Media Tycoon Rupert Murdoch was attacked by a prankster named Jonathan May-Bowles, a.k.a. Jonnie Marbles, with a shaving cream pie during a parliamentary hearing in London.
“You are a greedy billionaire,” the attacker said to Murdoch, according to a witness.
Due to the angle of the video, it’s not clear whether Murdoch caught the projectile squarely in the face, but it does show his Chinese wife Wendi Deng, instantly springing in his defense offering a bold smack to the jokester.
“His wife, Wendi, jumps up and smacks him about three, four, five times, like hard, proper blows,” said Max Beckham, a politics student who was among members of the public at the hearing. “She was going for it. She tried her hardest to smack him really hard.”
Murdoch and his son James was summoned to appear before a British parliamentary committee over a phone hacking scandal regarding one of his tabloid newspapers.
