Some controversy has erupted around the internet over a WCVB Boston story reporting that at last weekend’s show in Boston, MA Kenny Chesney confiscated a fan’s camera. One blog went as far as to call Chesney a “prick”.

Susan Mazar said the singer grabbed it while she was at this weekend’s concert in Foxborough.

Mazar said she was in the front row taking pictures, when the singer grabbed the camera from her.

Mazar said she and other fans were stunned when Chesney took the camera.

“(Chesney) was like a person in front of me and he reached down, grabs the camera, shuts it, goes down the walkway and throws it on the stage,” Mazar said.

Mazar said she did get the camera back, but the memory card, loaded with pictures of her family vacation, was missing.

Mazar told NewsCenter 5 that she was taking still pictures only of the show, not video.

Earlier in the tour Kenny was upset with people videotaping him during shows and it appeared that cameras might be banned altogether but this was not the case. Only videotaping is not allowed.

ChesneyWorld received this tweet after the Gillette show:

“I was there when the girl said kenny took her camera & to KC’s defense, she was videotaping the whole show”

Also, Erin from CountryMusicIsLove.com was interviewed by Electric Barnyard and explained that she was about 10 feet from the whole thing and that it was a video camera, not a still camera. Listen to the interview here.

Friday morning at 8:00 am 100 fans will arrive at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts to take part in the filming of tailgating scenes for an upcoming DVD release, which we assume is the previously mentioned 3D concert movie. At one point in the e-mail to those chosen to participate in the filming it is referred to as “KC3D Opening Title Sequence”.

The filming will take place at the Gillette Stadium parking lot. 60 women and 40 men were chosen and have been instructed to dress up and bring everything they normally would for tailgating. Then in the afternoon 30 fans will be chosen out of the 100 to be extras in a bar scene.

If you are one of the fans participating in this filming, please share the experience with us by leaving a comment or posting on our forum.
