the man who obliterated donald trump's hollywood walk of fame star says on video that he just did it to 'help' people. 




the man, who identified himself to deadline hollywood as jamie otis, pretended to be a construction worker to give himself cover at 5:30 wednesday morning, as he took a pickaxe and sledgehammer to the terrazzo and cement star. 




trump earned the star, which is situated on hollywood boulevard near the dolby theater, in 2007 for his work on <u+201c>celebrity apprentice.<u+201d> but in just a few minutes it was destroyed:

now the man has reappeared on video admitting the vandalism, but says he did it for an altruistic cause: 




<u+201c>i really wanted to do this. i think it's a symbol for all of us against sexual assault.<u+201d> 




he said his intention was to sell pieces of the star to raise money for the women who have accused trump of sexual wrongdoing. none of the women have provided concrete proof of their claims. 




the man, a self-proclaimed activist, admitted in an exclusive tmz interview that this isn't his first rodeo: 




<u+201c>i'm a non violent activist. i've been arrested 24, 25 times. i'd love to go to court with mr. trump, it would be a great honor.<u+201d> 




without irony, the man claimed that trump is <u+201c>a bully<u+201d> and that he needs to <u+201c>ease up.<u+201d> 




this isn't the first time trump's star has been the target of vandals. recently, the star was surrounded by a cement box:

unfortunately for mr. otis, police are currently looking for him, with the possibility that he'll be charged with a felony. additionally, the star he destroyed in the name of justice is worth $30,000.
