Many celebrities go through tough situations with the media who constantly follow them Celebrities are usually annoyed of the fact that they constantly have paparazzi on their back, so they tend to start fights with them because of their frustration. Situations where celebrities have fought the media regularly happens because there is always someone unwanted invading their privacy. Celebrities like Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Britney Spears have fought the paparazzi due to their presence, but whose side should we take?The celebrity or the paparazzi?
I have recently watched a video of Australian rapper, Iggy Azalea, fighting the media after grocery shopping. It was during the night while Iggy was grocery shopping with one of her friends while the paparazzi followed them to take pictures of her. Iggy felt as if they were invading her privacy so as she left the store she verbally fought the paparazzi with her friend using harsh language and telling them to die. The paparazzi defended themselves saying she is in a public area and that she is a celebrity in LA who has to deal with these situations. Eventually this situation got pretty violent and escalated into Iggy pushing a cart at the paparazzi.
When it comes down to celebrities and photographers in these situations I would take the photographers side. It is the paparazzi’s job to take pictures of the celebrities and this paparazzi was doing his job. In no way did the paparazzi try to aggravate Iggy, the paparazzi only fought back to defend himself after Iggy was being violent towards him. Of course everyone wants privacy but Iggy needs to know along with fame the paparazzi will follow her, she should just be the bigger person and learn how to deal with it in a mature way. The photographer is just doing his job and only fought back as self-defense because Iggy made the first move. I understand that being in Iggy's situation would be irritating to have paparazzi on your back, but as a role model I believe Iggy should have personal bodyguards if this is an issue to her.
Another example of a celebrity and paparazzi feud is Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber had also lashed out on the paparazzi with the use of harsh language, swearing, and threatening language. As what Iggy did Justin also tried to get physical but was stopped by bodyguards. This is a natural comeback for celebrities but I believe as role models they should be the better person because the paparazzi is just doing their job.
