Kanye is at it again, like always, he takes another aim at the paparazzi. But not like always, this time he has a good reason behind his anger. Early in the morning around the time of 4 AM, Kanye is seen at his bachelor pad. As he was getting to ready to leave, several photographers approach him, taking pictures and also asking about the feud he had, who at the time was Jimmy Kimmel. Infuriated by this, Kanye was said to have lunged at one of the photographers.
In the year 2013, Jimmy Kimmel aired a parody which was "poking fun" at a recent Kanye West interview at the time. Obviously angered by this, Kanye took it to twitter as he exchanged tweets with Jimmy Kimmel replying back and forth for a good thirty minutes. If you look at the tweets they posted Kanye took it more seriously, while Jimmy Kimmel took it more lighter, it seemed as if he was more focused on making fun of Kanye. This could give a reason for Kanye's blunt actions towards the photographers.
Although Kanye did have a reason behind his actions, it was uncalled for to lunge at one of the photographers. Due to his actions, Kanye faces charges of battery and attempted grand theft in connection with the LAX attack, which one of the photographers claimed to have been injured by Kanye.
When it comes to celebrities in the news most of the time I will probably take the celebrity's side, as the media is always trying to invade a celebrity's life to have a story to write about. I think the line should be drawn when the media starts invading a celebrity's privacy. I think the media should come in when there are public events, but other than that I think it is crossing the line. As celebrities are humans like us and they too have their own life to deal with, They don't need the whole world to know what they're doing and being judged upon it.
Celebrities have their lives tough but it is the sacrifice of choosing to become famous. They chose to become public figures and if they go into public areas, they should expect for paparazzi. What's wrong is when paparazzi invades their houses and sneaks in places just to get shots of them. Celebrities are people too and they deserve to have some parts of their lives excluded. They shouldn't live in fear of doing daily tasks that we have no problem on doing. Once they leave their houses though and choose to go into public places, they have no choice but to be photographed. Ultimately, celebrities and paparazzi need each other to have the media to function.
ReplyDeleteAw kanye. He is known for his alter ego of being very mean to the paparazzi. Yes. there should be a line between celebrities and paparazzi. Paparazzi need to respect the lives of celebrities for that they are humans just like us. Also the celebrities don't have to be so mean to paparazzi for they are just getting a couple of shots. Just be kind to one other and everything will be just fine. (:
ReplyDeleteI also did a post on Kanye. I feel like paparazzi and celebrities need to be closer so we do not come up with situations like this. The paparazzi need to respect the celebrities but the celebrities need to respect the paparazzi as well.
