She said karma came back around, because now he picks up dog poop for a living.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Rosenthal, owner of LA Dogworks, tells TMZ \u2026 that story&#8217;s about him, and things didn&#8217;t go down the way Molly says, calling her version of events &#8220;a fantasy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<p>He tells us &#8230; &#8220;I am obnoxious sometimes, but I don\u2019t see myself saying &#8216;you\u2019re ugly.'&#8221; He also said he doesn&#8217;t remember ever shooting her.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The former photographer added &#8230; &#8220;If I did shoot her and said something negative, it possibly would have been in jest.
