Rant begin~ Ok I completely understand where both the pap and the celebrity are coming from. However, these paps are annoyingly becoming more and more aggressive as new incidents surface. Most people, including the pap, justify their actions with the statement, "I'm just doing my job.". When an incident rises to surface, like Iggy's, people usually react by sending negative vibes to her. With questions and statements like "Why did she do that?", "She should've done something else.", "She shouldn't have been that aggressive.". Seriously?! Imagine this: from the second you walk out your home ((and in some cases this could also take place while you are IN your home)) you have photographers shoving their camera in your face. While you're eating breakfast, shoves the camera in your face. While you're at a family gathering, shoving cameras up your face. Can you imagine how much distress you have caused, not only to the celeb, but their family? That's real low. Speaking of low, let's talk about the Justin vs. Paparazzi incident. This takes place WAY back from March 2013. As Justin was on his way to his vehicle his bodyguard shoved the pap to the side, which looks like it infuriated the pap, leading for him to attack Justin with numerous amounts of insults. You can only imagine what Justin did afterwards. Quoted from http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/03/08/justin-bieber-attacks-photographer-london-assault-video/, when Justin jumped out of the van, he screamed, “What the f–k did you say?” To which the photographer responded, “You heard what I said … you heard what I f–king said, mate.” Justin then lunged at the photographer and threatened, “I’ll f–king beat the f–k out of you!” before being restrained by his bodyguard.
In situations like this, you might think, "Gosh this Justin Bieber dude is such an a--hole!" but seriously, try to see and hear these kind of paps continuously yelling at you 24/7 and try to keep your cool. After all you wouldn't really understand until you ACTUALLY get famous and go through EXACTLY what they're going through. It's things like this that get to me because it isn't really fair. Like what the pap from Iggy's situation said, "You chose to be famous!" Technically yes, they did sign a contract that might have mentioned the paps and fame etc. However, what really got to me was the way the paps reacted to all: Iggy shoving her cart, Iggy's friend firing at him, Justin threatening him, and the bodyguard, firing at him. "That's assault!" the woman with the pap said. The paps acted like that's something horrendous or something they never expected to happen. That's bull. Come on. You're signing up to be a paparazzi and I can truly say that they definitely aren't the first. When you apply to be a pap you agree to that, yes you will be assaulted, yes you will be fired at, and you've seen other paps go through that before you. You can't act like that isn't what you've signed up for. Did you think you'd be treated any differently? But of course, that's your job, and everything that happens to you shouldn't be a surprise! So really, don't hate the celebrity. Try going through this everyday to the point where they hire people to shove the paps away. You were only able to see the celeb through their most infuriated time, but the paps are just like that, and it hasn't changed for years. So sure these feuds are quite entertaining, ((or maybe ALWAYS entertaining)), but when you think of it, these paps need to quit stalking people that are more superior than them, and get a life. ~Rant end
