"My father was a paparazzo himself," he said and added that his parents did not raise him to "be out here wrestling with random paparazzi in front of LAX."
The husband of Kim Kardashian insisted that he did not assault Daniel.
"He tried to stop (Daniel's) camera and stuff, he fell down, faked it and everyone was saying 'Why did you hit this guy?' I didn't hit him," he said.
The father of one said he respected some of the paparazzi and used to get along with them.
"The paparazzi watch my car and makes sure that cops don't give me tickets. There are some nice guys out here trying to just feed their family," he said.
