“A paparazzi is merely an extremely nosy nobody with a camera—and bills to pay.”
―
It’s true, celebrities have always had difficult relationships with the paparazzi and that’s not something that’s about to change anytime soon…
We can barely cope with that friend who is consistently hounding us for selfies on a night out, never mind having a professional photographer following us around on the reg, no thank you.
But being tailed by the paparazzi and asked a million and one questions daily is all part and parcel of being a celeb, right?
Isn’t that what stars signed up for when they ventured into their chosen fields?
Well, we beg to differ, and these stars seem to agree…
Instead of letting photographers capture snapshots of their lives, these famous faces decided to fight for their privacy – literally.
From Britney Spears’s umbrella incident, to Sean Penn’s attempted murder charge – these stars really are not messing around when it comes to protecting their privacy…
When Celebrities Attack!
Celebrities aren’t untouchable – this incident is a fine example that even the biggest of stars have to abide by the law…or face prosecution!
