The paparazzi have never been tactful with celebrities. Sometimes they deliberately provoke the stars in order to expose them in a bad light and get shocking shots. Close attention 24/7 can infuriate everyone and lead to not the most pleasant consequences.
Justin Bieber
In 2013, Justin Bieber was going through hard times. At one of the concerts in London, Justin fainted due to breathing problems. After a 20-minute pause in an oxygen mask, he decided to continue performing despite warnings from doctors.
The next day, a crowd of fans and paparazzi were waiting outside the hotel for the 19-year-old performer. Hearing offensive shouts at him, Justin could not suppress his emotions and attacked the photographers, trying to grab the camera. His bodyguard barely managed to restrain the musician and prevent a possible fight.
The next morning, Justin decided to comment on the situation on Twitter: “Sometimes when people poke cameras in your face and yell at you all day, this is the worst thing that can be done … I'm human. Hard week".
Alec Baldwin
In 2013, the famous American actor Alec Baldwin had a similar conflict with the paparazzi, and photos from the scene immediately hit the Web.
Justin Bieber and other stars who had a passionate romance
Justin and Hailey Bieber are one of the most romantic couples in foreign show business. They never stop proving that after the wedding, feelings flare up with renewed vigor. The Canadian pop musician and model tied the knot in 2018 and have never stopped confessing their love to each other ever since. The spouses easily survived the quarantine, they did not hide the pleasure of the opportunity to be alone. Lovers often share cute romantic shots. Sometimes the artist indulges in little pranks. During a picnic in the fresh air, Justin put his hand in his wife's bra and took her by the chest.
Walking around New York, Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilary were caught by an obsessive reporter and did not give them a pass so that Hilaria, who became a mother a week before the incident, was forced to hide in a nearby store. Alec Baldwin could not stand the pressure and lashed out at the reporter.
This was far from the first time Alec Baldwin was involved in a brawl with the paparazzi.
Kanye west
Unfortunately, such cases do not always end with reconciliation. In July 2013, pictures were released of the reporter lying at the feet of Kanye West. From the pictures it is clear that the journalist was attacked, and later a video of the incident appeared.
Los Angeles airport is always full of paparazzi waiting for their "victims". One of them turned out to be an American rapper, but this time he did not ignore the reporters after the question "Kanye, why can't we talk to you?" attacked one of the photographers.
Victim Daniel Ramos is suing West for assault, beatings (Ramos injured his thigh) and violation of his civil rights. For this, West faced up to a year in prison, but ultimately received a 2-year probation, 250 hours of community service, attending 24 anger management classes, and compensation to Ramos for his broken cell. Later, the journalist's lawyer published a photo where Kanye and Ramos shake hands, so the star managed to rehabilitate herself.
Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf, best known for his starring roles in Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and a BAFTA Rising Star award winner, has had a rather shaky reputation since 2008.
In 2014, there was another scandal captured by the paparazzi. In the photo, Shia is chasing a homeless person, trying to retrieve either a bag of food from McDonald's, or a baseball cap that belonged to a beggar.
According to eyewitnesses, the man had no idea who was chasing him. On the same day, three hours later, the actor was arrested, but for a different reason. He was taken out of the Broadway theater for interfering with the actors, smoking indoors and shouting obscenities. This is not the first or last arrest of Shaya. Currently, LaBeouf continues to act in films and receives positive reviews for his work.
Britney Spears
In 2007, Britney Spears had a rather difficult period in her life. After treatment in a rehabilitation center, the 25-year-old singer went to one of the salons in Los Angeles, where she shaved her head with her own hands.
In the documentary film Britney at Breaking Point, stylist Esther Tognos claims that she refused to comply with the request to radically change Britney's hairstyle and tried to dissuade the pop star, but as soon as she turned away, the singer herself took the typewriter and got down to business. Also, Tognoz believes that the bodyguards did not specifically intervene and allowed 70 photographers to get sensational shots.
Kristen Stewart
In 2012, American actress Kristen Stewart dated her Twilight saga partner Robert Pattinson. Their relationship lasted almost three years, but one day Kristen was spotted by the paparazzi with the director of the film "Snow White and the Huntsman", in which she played the main role.
Rupert Sanders is 19 years older than Stewart and at the time was married to English model and actress Liberty Ross, who also starred in the film. A few days after the photos were published, both Sanders and Stewart made a public apology and commented on the situation. Fans could not believe what had happened, and even after confirmation by the actress herself, they believed that this was done solely for the sake of PR.
A different director was chosen to work on Snow White and the Huntsman 2, the plot was changed, and Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain joined the cast instead of Stewart.
