Ana Becerra claims Louis Tomlinson punched her

Louis Tomlinson has been accused of punching a girl in the face during an altercation at LAX airport.
Ana Becerra alleges the former One Direction star punched her, breaking her glasses after his girlfriend Eleanor Calder came over to her and her wife and tried to take her phone off of her.
Recalling what happened, she claims: "We were just waiting for our ride and people were taking pictures. And I saw them running. The girl got all crazy and she was running. I grabbed my phone. I was sitting down with my wire [attached to the phone] when she rushed and grabbed me and she was fighting with me for my phone. I wasn’t going to let anyone get my phone.
"She [Eleanor] said, ‘Are you filming me b***h?’ and then I saw the guy from One Direction and he just punched me in my face. And that’s when everybody started getting [involved], security, police. When he punched me, I was actually wearing glasses – so when he punched me, he broke my glasses and I think that’s why all this part [her head] hurts."
Ana also insists she will be pressing charges because she "doesn’t think it’s right for a guy to punch a woman".
Asked why she wants to press charges, she said: "Because I don’t think it’s right for a guy to punch a woman and for the fact that I never did anything to him.
"The fans are saying he’s going to defend his girlfriend but my wife, she never slapped, she never punched, she never did anything. She tried to separate us … So why would a guy come up to me and punch me? If he had come and separate us and said, ‘Get away’, that would be different."
And Ana also claims she has been unable to sleep because of all the stress she says she has been under after Louis’ fans leapt to his defence.
She told TMZ: "I went to the hospital. I got some scans; I got a concussion. I get really bad headaches. I couldn’t sleep for two days; first because of the long aeroplane ride and then I couldn’t because it was so stressful with all the harassment from the fans."
After an altercation, which involved a member of the paparazzi, prior to the alleged incident with Ana, Louis was taken into custody following a citizen’s arrest and was booked for simple battery, before being released shortly after on $20,000 bail. He is due to appear in court in Los Angeles on March 29.
His lawyer Martin Singer said previously: "The paparazzi provoked and caused the altercation that occurred with Louis. It’s not the first time that a paparazzi has created an altercation with a celebrity.
"While the altercation was going on with the paparazzi, three other individuals were attacking his girlfriend during this incident and he came to her defence."
