Do celebs have the right to be rude to paparazzis or they are just doing their job?

[kitty71]

This is the issue. Celebs are public figure 100%, they chose to become actors or actresses and being a celeb comes with many CONS and the main one is: loose of privacy. The videos above are from some years ago of actor Chris Pine at the airport, trying to be a normal dude like you or me. I feel sorry for him.

They are very aware that being a celeb they are scrutinized from head to toe for everything in theri lives private and public ones. They know what they got involved with when they decided to become an entertainer for the masses and the public who enjoys watching their jobs on small or big screen and earn money and profit from it that is their job that is they wanted to become an entertainer,.

Due to the loose of privacy they have to know maturely how to deal with it it comes with the territory. Each celeb have their own staff of personal management who manage their work and image (agents, representatives, lawyers, publicists) and taht is a lot of money but celebs can pay them to keep their public image good as much as they can.

Now but when the public life meddles with their private life is when paparazzis go and hunt them beause it is a guilty pleasure for many to see what their beloved or admired celebs do on their private life, when they are no longer actors, but regular mortals and regulars joes like you and me and to see if they are just like you and me who are not actors, not on public entertainemtn events ( awards shows, press junkets, movie premieres, charity events or any other event when the celebs are in public).

But sometimes these paps go beyond of just take a picture they hunt them and even a regular joe could be pissed the way paps work (not regular photographers) that is when these celebs get rude to them punch them, are disrespectful, yell etc etc. to leave them alone. I mean even if it is not a celeb, would you also get angry if something like that could happen to you or your family? So are these celebs right to be disrespectful?

Some people say, celebs should not be acting like gorillas hitting people because they are public figures and know the business they got themselves into, they have to be polite at least or dont pay attention.

Others say no, celebs have the right to have their personal lives too, they are humans just like you and me, they also deal with personal issues, health issues, money issues, legal issues, like any other person in this planet, only that their jobs are exposed to the public 100% unlike

other jobs taht are not taht publickly exposed (celebs, countrys president, etc etc). Some celebs are polite for sure when phographers or dumb reporters are like hunting them and blind them with their cameras (poor celebs) and just ignore them, are respecful do not hit or punch and stay quiet and go on their way (still an uncomfortable moment being chased and even more when some "so called" reporters ask the dumbest questions ever). Others do hit and said bad words.

I worked in a department store in my 20s and this guy approached who appeared to be wearing some kind of disguise. He wore his coat collar turned up with over sized glasses & this fake spray on hair coloring.

He asked a question & I recognized the voice immediately it was the actor Kyle McLaughlin. At the time he was dating super model Linda Evangelista.

I told him I really liked his work his roles in David Lynch films, Twin Peaks. He thanked me and told me some things asked questions about the city like places to go then asked me to keep it quiet for him. I said sure NP thanked him.

I walked away and told my female coworker about it. Didn’t believe me & walked over to the aisle he was in to take a peak.

She screams super loud OMG ITS KYLE MCLAUGHLIN runs up and grabs his arm.

😑

[kitty71]

You had a good experience then with the actor. But that was a different setting because you were not a paparazzi, the actor came to your shop to buy something and you were not chasing him

[Guardian45]

Celebs DON'T live in the REAL WORLD, and I REFUSE to be a Sheeple and cowtow to them and the hype.

I used to regularly see a World-famous person, on the street. We would nod to each other, but I NEVER invaded his privacy, nor he mine!

[kitty71]

That is what I say they also deserve theri privay like ypu or me is upt to them to decide if it affects them or not

[Guardian45]

Thank you for MHG!

I think if a celeb is out and about in the public and a paparazzi happens to spot them and take photos then that's part of the celeb's job to accept that it's part of their jobs. However, paparazzi should respect boundaries and not try to take photos when celebs are in private areas.

[kitty71]

I agree but even when a celeb is out and about in public doing their own persoanl stuff and not working maybe they are on vacations, they dont even like paparazzis to take pictures of them even if they are on vacations on their personal time but in public, cause it is their persoanl or family time.

[Lookingforthetruth]

What about taking photos of them while they are out with a family member who is not a celebrity?

[kitty71]

@Lookingforthetruth the same?

[misfittoy]

a few of them can be cool about it just wanting a shot and thats it but others you can see just trying to get a bad reaction from a celebrity and a pay day either by getting that bad reaction or getting hurt, hit, injured etc

[BlacklightShade]

I was in Manhattan a few years back with my brother and mom waiting for a taxi when one pulled up. When the door opened Seth Meyers and his wife stepped out. Seth gave the three of us the biggest smile and held the door.

[SnowedIn]

This isn't an A or B answer. There's a fine line between taking a picture/doing your job and chasing/hounding someone.

[SnowedIn]

But, your question is a good one. That answer is "no" -- don't be rude. Rudeness accomplishes nothing.

[kitty71]

That is what I said taking pictures when those public figures are at public events which is different

[DryGermanGuy]

„Paparazzi“ is about as valid of a job description as „vampire“. They should all fricking die, for all I care. 🤬

[pizzalovershouse]

It should be respectful to famous people an famous people should make time for the cameras an be nice it's how they show that they are worth being an actor or any one famous

[kitty71]

Sure but not when they are invading their personal life

[pizzalovershouse]

Yes when peeping in windows that probably why so many stars build under ground pools living rooms bed rooms an it's like top floor for entry only then go downtown lower levels

[kitty71]

but what about when these celebs are doing errands, doign exercise outside when they are not working. That is also invasion of privacy? I mean they are out in public sure but they are on their free time, that is not correct either to chase them in those times even if they are out in public

[pizzalovershouse]

True but part of it is being famous an knowing it's going to happen

[dustybiker]

I’d ask Princess Diana, but we all know how that ended.

[anon1903]

If the paparazzi crosses the lines to get info, yes the celebrity would be rude/harsh to them.

[Anonymous]

Common sense applies. I think as a celeb you have to factor in that that's the price of fame. But there are lines that as a paparazzi you should understand if you cross you're going to going to and SHOULD pay for it.

[worldscolide]

They cross a line when they do things like camp out on your front lawn.. Or do dangerous things to get pictures. Or intrude on private family stuff.

[TroyDT]

I get that the paparazzi have a job to do, but harassing someone out with family or an SO still crosses the line in my eyes.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Yes they have the right because paparazzi is not a job it's harassment

[Anonymous]

i've dealt with those scumbags first hand numerous times and i almost broke their camera once and got into blowouts with some of them from time to time

[kitty71]

are u famous?

[Opinion Owner]

No..

[kitty71]

so why you said you had dealt with them before?

[Opinion Owner]

Because I have

[orangecherry]

Many is called the paparazzi.

One of them is called a paparazzo.

[joeldalton]

paparazzi are parasites. They deserve everything they get.

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

I'll never understand why the paparazzi exists

[MrTaboo]

If they don't like it. Get out of being a celeb

[kitty71]

what about privacy like any human being you or me?

[MrTaboo]

Ike it or not, It's part of the job. You want to be famous... people are going to want to hound you.

[BLP11520]

Some are to pushy so, I don't know

[EaterPeter]

That is one dirty job tho it pays well I guess

[jimmy2]

I think so but that the life they choose
