I read a post at An Unhealthy Addiction that I did not necessarily agree with and the following is my response. I would just like to say before I start that I read Krysti's full post and did not leave an angry comment nor did I berate her on twitter. When I sent the following letter to her, she responded kindly and asked to post my letter. See we are grown women, who can maturely agree to disagree (obviously not without the word fuck) and still be friendly. Respect works on all different levels.
It is my humble opinion that while celebrities know that with fame comes paparazzi, it is not my belief that any amount of money should buy all of anyone's peace of mind. I do not believe that paps should have the right to follow any celebrity around and wait outside their hotel rooms to assault them with a camera every time they poke their heads out the door. Yes, being a celebrity comes with being recognized and people wanting your photo. However, making movies, being a rock star, etc. is a job. Everyone deserves to go home and rest after work. Every human being deserves to go out on the town and have a good time without photos being printed in the newspaper the next morning and the rumor mills fueling the economy.
While it is possible that some of the fuckery could be dismantled if the celeb would stop and pose for 10 seconds, I highly doubt it, because these bastards are never satisfied. No, it wouldn't kill any celebrity to smile, wave and be on their way. But therein lies two problems. First, the paps won't stop at that. They always need one more photo. One more pose. One more roll. Second, and this is the one I feel super strongly about. I won't argue because that is needless when I know I'm right. So pay attention. I would cut my own fucking brother for getting in my face and snapping photographs of me when I don't want it and I don't think that I am better than any celebrity or vice versa. Whether they have had a bad day, are a bit too drunk, or what the fuck ever reason, if they don't want to have the pic taken, this should be respected.
Also, I realize that most celebs are attention seekers, but not all of them are like Paris Hilton. Not everyone likes to wiggle their ass in front of a camera every time they have to go errands or hang with their friends. Yes it's true, to some degree that celebs need paps to stay in the spotlight and further their careers. It is also true that paparazzi have become excessive, intrusive, and out-of-control. This did not start with my beloved Rob, it has been a spiraling tornado for a long while now and we all know what happens when the tornado touches down. Chaos, destruction, and ruined lives. Ever notice how it is never the camera men who suffer the consequences? Who put these bastards in charge and who in the fuck is allowing them to rule like Hitler with a camera? This is information I need.
That being said, what constitutes an unacceptable pap pic? Hood up, head down means he doesn't want his fucking picture taken. Period. End of discussion. I don't give a fuck what the reason is or how much money the pap is losing or the exposure the celeb is forsaking. I'm talking about decency. Compassion. Humanity. Respect. Which Webster's defines as: an act of giving consideration.
I do not feel that the Rememeber Me pics are off limits because he was working when they were taken and most of the ones I have were taken by fans, who were there as well. If that makes me a hypocrite, I'll buy a fucking t-shirt with it written on the front, right across my big ass tits for Rob. All I'm saying is if you or I were following Rob around (or any celebrity) taking his picture when he was in public and he asked not to be photographed, we would be arrested. So why are these asstards exempt? To me, it doesn't necessarily make a fuck where he is or what he's doing. Wasn't it us women who came up with the phrase, "No means, no"?
I have one more adament commandment. You can take this one to the bank. I don't know who the fuck this Kristen is and I don't give a rat's ass. I assure you there will never be a photo of her in the park under any circumstances.
In summary, paps are a part of a celeb's life and they should be held accountable for the same laws as us common folk. I don't mind paps making money on pics, just not at the expense of the celebrity. There will NEVER be a photo of what's her name on this blog. To put it simply as ToR did, if Rob doesn't want it, neither do I. Any human being should be able to say no and be heard and listened to.
It boils down to three major points.
1. Paps have crossed a line and need to be reigned in. I have heard there are people designated to deal with these types of situations, yet have seen no evidence. I'll tell you the damn truth though, let me go piss behind the dumpster and the fucking popo will show up both times. Moving on.
2. Respect is about allowing an individual to tell what he is uncomfortable with and as human beings with individual needs of our own changing to accommodate. It's karma people.
3. My respect and admiration for the lovely Rob Pattinson will not stop me, should I have the great fortune of meeting him, from attempting to lure him back to my place for margaritas and a game of war, in which we both lay on the bed and blow the hell out of each other and then have make-up sex. Only if he wants to, of course.
I'll link back to Thinking of Rob here, where the campaign continues to grow.
