Majority of the famous people out
there around the world don't really enjoy the fact that they are always being
followed around by the paparazzi every day. Just like us, celebrities are
humans too and they deserve to have some privacy in their lives.
Unfortunately, the paparazzi can't seem to realize that celebrities deserve
this and end up doing such unnecessary things. The paparazzi can turn into wild
animals when wanting to take a photo of a celebrity and don't really care about
what the celebrity does or say to try and stop this.

Recently, a video of a famous
celebrity named Amethyst Amelia Kelly, also known as Iggy Azalea, had been
posted on the internet and went viral. This video included Iggy Azalea and her
friend, as well as the paparazzi. Iggy and one of her friends were out shopping
at a grocery store. This video starts off with Iggy’s friend yelling at the
photographer and the photographer yelling back. Then suddenly, Iggy exits out
of the grocery store and the fight begins to escalate unnecessarily once she
comes out of the store. The choice of actions made by the paparazzi as well as
Iggy Azalea and her friend were poorly made decisions. While Iggy does make
some questionable comments in the video, this photographer was way too
aggressive. This photographer was way too pushy and I think that he should have just backed off and left the scene.

Many
other celebrities other than Iggy Azalea go through this as well. Some
celebrities that have been in somewhat of a similar situation are Lindsay
Lohan, Kanye West, Britney Spears, and Justin Bieber. Rumour has it that nearly
a month ago, Justin Bieber got into a little fight with the paparazzi in Paris
as Bieber’s crew were trying to get into a hotel they were staying at. Articles
written about this say that Bieber appeared to throw a few punches at the
crowd. However, there is a chance that Bieber did not actually punch anyone, but
he does have history with assault. Unfortunately, things got out of hand with
the paparazzi and Justin Bieber.
When
we see news about celebrities versus the paparazzi that become viral, viewers always
choose a side. It’s either they pick the paparazzi’s side or the celebrity’s
side. In my opinion, there really is no side to choose from. Yes, celebrities
are sick and tired of being followed around by the paparazzi but the paparazzi
can’t help it. It’s their jobs to take pictures of celebrities at their best
and worst moments. However, celebrities should know by
now that there will always be someone around them to snap a photo of them and post
it all around the internet.
As a celebrity, it is understood that photographs will often be taken of you and it is up to them to develop a tolerance for what is occurring. Although the celebrities actions do often get out of hand, I believe that their actions are reasonable due to the fact that they request privacy and their requests are not respected. However, paparazzi do make a living off of catching celebrities at their worst moments and just as it is a celebrity's job to entertain, it is a paparazzi's job produce these photographs. I agree that there is no right o wrong side to this issue, as paparazzi have a reason behind their actions and celebrities have low tolerance for the invasion of privacy. Either way, it is not necessary to start fights and create conflicts, because one person is trying to do their job.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog post and I like how you told both the stories of the celebrity and the paparazzi to show different viewpoints on this topic. I completely agree how the paparazzi can get out of hand yet they cannot help it since it is their job, and how celebrities obviously are fed up with them yet they're in the pubic eye, so things like this are going to happen. c:
