The Paps Are Getting Out of Control

Filed under: Baby Blabber > Legal Matters > Halle Berry

halleb.jpg

Halle Berry is pulling a Brad Pitt.

The new mommy says a paparazzi photographer went too far to get a shot of the Oscar winner holding her infant daughter, trespassing onto her private property and snapping them hanging out in the backyard.

According to a report, Berry was upset when pictures of her holding the little babe showed up on the internet and in two celebrity magazines.

In a statement Berry dismisses the claim that the photos were taken when she was "out and about in Los Angeles."

Her lawyer said a criminal complaint has been filed and an investigation is under way.

He also said there are witnesses who saw the photographers in the middle of a "very blatant and invasive trespass."

Yikes.

Celebs deserve privacy at home too, right?!

    It would be great if there wasn't a market for such pictures — the problem will persist as long as there's money involved. Somewhere near first.

    These paps are going too far!! I bet the government will only pay attention when a celebrity or their babies get hurt…so sad!! I would truly shoot anyone who trespasses on my property, most of these paps are ex-gang and ex-convicts hired by these pap agencies to take pictures…so not cool!

    It's unfortunate that her privacy was invaded. It shouldn't have happened, however, she needs to beef up her security at her home. Don't just depend on what you think is the law, cuz laws were meant to be broken. Just ask the Judges when they make their rulings.

    Re: lhluh – U are an asshole your racist pig. What's so wrong with "negroes"? (dripping sarcasm intended) Why don't you reveal your real name and where you live? I hate cowards on the internet talking shit. She's biracial for god sakes and even if she wasn't she could date whomever she wanted! Why do people think biracial people are light-skinned blacks? They could easily be viewed as darker skinned whites. That shows you how racist this country is. Ugh. Is it a problem that she's an American girl dating a Canadian guy too? Silly bastard. I'm getting really sick of racist, prejudice idiots on the internet who use aliases names and no real pictures of themselves.

    They absolutely deserve privacy at home. It's against the law to trespass and beyond creepy to imagine someone taking pictures of you in the privacy of your own yard / patio / balcony. The laws need to be inforced.

    RIGHT!!!! Hellooooooo? How would YOU feel Mr.P if you were constantly being seeked out for a photogragh??? Hmmmm. YOU would probably feel like it would be a great complement. I'M SURE!!!

    I don't think it is right for these people to hide in trees and take pics of them in their house and yard… that is too far in my book. Yeah if they are in public that is fair game but not in their homes or private property.

  26. 26

    Yeah, but you use Pap photos, Perez, and so long as anyone uses the crappy, nasty and obscene Pap photos, they'll push the envelope more and more.
    I also find Brad and Angie much less sympathetic than Halle in this issue, Halle isn't courting as much press as possible every day.

  27. alway says – reply to this

    She's black and needs to stick with her own kind. No white guy is going to marry her. She had a half white kid and because she thinks it makes her closer to white. Period.

    Paparazzi needs to be BANNED from photographing on private property its sick and disgusting how far they will go to get a shot. If they ever came on my property I would shoot them.

    Re: lhluhRe: lhluh – Let me guess, you're a Southern racist, northern racists don't use the word negro. That also makes you at least mildly, and most likely, severly, retarded. I am impressed that you have the mental capacity to turn on your computer but you really ought to not type, or talk, you've just embarrassed your entire Klan…now go open a book and shut off Jerry Springer idiot boy.

    yeah, but at least halle doesn't sell her kids.

    Brad Pitt is probably pissed because the paparazzi almost got pix of the twins he's selling for like 10 million + . The price would go down if the paparazzi got the first pix

  36. 36

    I think they should be allowed privacy at home — the paps are getting ridiculous. At least this isn't as dangerous as some other things, but it is morally wrong. I don't think you can say that these folks expected this kind of invasion when they signed on to be a star.

  37. fuck says – reply to this

    fuck these paps.
    deport them .
    if anyone came onto my propert like they did with brad and halle,
    i would fucken kill them for tresspassing and scareing the shit out of me, would call it self defence.
    trespassing is illegal.
    so yeah, lock them up or deport them , most of them are not from america or france, they just follow the celebs and hope for the billion dollar picture …magazine should boycott these parasites.
    stop paying them stupid money.
    it the fault of the magazines for paying them.
    check them out first and see if they are legal or if they can even speak english . brads sevurity could of killed that fool and burried on the estate and non onewould of even known or cared .

    There is a difference between the Brangelina who are the biggest fame whore and keep pimpingtheir children for money and Ms. Berry.
    .
    She really wants her privacy- so it should be repected. Angelina on the other hand just talked again about her sex life and had a bounty over her babies photos.

    trespassing is illegal full stop!
    it doesnt matter if it is a celebs house or my house or your house.
    it is wrong and should be treated as attempted robbery or attempted murder even.
    how do you know, if you see a guy in camo sneaking around your yard that he is not a maniac about to kill you or take you as a hostage.
    yes, he is lucky the security did not kill him, they should of and ask questions later because if i see a guy creeping around on my property i will kill him and
    it will be in self defence.
    mind the dog , mind the resident .
    paps are insane money hungry parasites.
    you go brad!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its really said how people get attention whores mixed up with real actors. Actors don't need paps when they arnt doing professional interviews or at premiers/events. Would a picture of any actor getting out of the mall really go make you see there movies? No it won't. And I think ppl understand that actors are "just like us". Taking pics, as if it was some kind bounty hunt, is sick and disterbing.

  45. Debra says – reply to this

    I am confused. The same thing happened with Brad/Angie and they are called media wh****. Halle has a right to her privacy and so do Brad/Angie.
    The outrage should be the same no matter who the stars. Brad/Angie should not be critized for wanting to protect their family. Neither should Halle and others. Their homes should be off limit. This opens the doors to some crazies and stalkers.

    He is so fucking hot, omg.

    Anyways, these paps are seriously out of control. Like poster 2 said, if there wasnt such a marketfor them then it wouldnt be as bad but in this society thats not going to happen.

    I AM SICK AND TIRED OF CELEBS SAYIN "I WANT MY PRIVACY!" THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT BY BECOMING ACTORS/ACTRESSES, SINGERS, ETC THAT THEY ARE IVING UP THEIR PRIVACY RIGHTS! SO RIDICULOUS! SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!!!

    JJ is right, as long as there is a market for this, it will continue. Perez should not be ragging out the paps since he uses the photos too. Yes, if you are a celebrity, you are being compensated for some lack of privacy, but someone should never tresspass on your property. You don't know if it is a photog or someone who is out to kidnap you or your child. But, I don't know why they just can't show a pic of the kid. Most babies look alike, it is not like a kidnapper will now know you child in public. Some of them bring it on themselves by whoring out their wedding pics and baby pics. Just had out the picture, most of them don't need more money.

    Don't put the halo on yet, Perez - you happily posted that picture, even though it was obvious to even the biggest idiot that the photographer was invading their privacy. Stop pretending you care about their privacy - as long as it gets you some attention, you'll be right there with the rest of the vultures. Re: Debra – There's nothing to be confused about - Halle Berry doesn't court the press or pimp her baby pictures out the way Brangelina does. Brangelina makes a media event out of going to McDonald's, so I don't have any sympathy for them - the freakin held a press conference practically before they cut the umbilical cord on Shiloh. There's a BIG diference between Halle and Brangelame-o

    Why is it uncool for paps to snap Halle in her back yard, but you OUT a transgender teenager whose only crime is having two famous parents? The person who crossed the line this week was you. Karma Baby. I bet Warren has already paid for the contract on you.

    Just because ur a celeb dose not mean you have to lose ur privacy. If you look at actors like Johnny Depp and Will Smith. How often do you see pics of them outside of events? Barley any. So saying you have to give up ur privacy because you want to act/sing isn't really true. Its really sad how much paps can turn into overwhelming crowds in seconds and go as far as blocking cars and breaking into houses. They go WAY beyond freedom of the press. I think there should be a disteance law.

    Here's the deal. Yeah, pics of celebs is money. But, it does not justify paps breaking laws, committing crimes to get a shot. Folks can say, hey, the celebs asked for it when they became famous. Out in public, maybe. But, not on their private property. Sooner or later, a pap is gonna get smeared (hehe!), and shot for trespassing. It's gonna happen. Mark it.
