Yesterday Chris Brown totaled his Porsche after slamming it into a brick wall.  Initial reports claimed Chris had been cut off by over aggressive paparazzi, but the paps are denying the claims…

From TMZ

Brown’s rep released a statement yesterday claiming he was cut off by two photographers and blamed the accident on “aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi.”

TMZ spoke with Chris Doherty, owner of INF, the photo agency that employed all the photographers on scene. He tells us that he is positive his photogs “had nothing to do with Chris Brown crashing.”

Doherty says his photogs arrived AFTER Chris crashed, telling TMZ, “No photographers were following him at the time he crashed … He crashed his car and it’s convenient for him to blame us. He needs to be careful with his defamatory statements.”

Doherty also says his photogs were interviewed on scene by police who “appeared to be satisfied” the photogs were not the cause of the accident.
