Paparazzi have come under fire of late because of their aggressive tactics, but also because the people they take photographs of have incredible amounts of money to throw at attorneys. Los Angeles paparazzi lawyers know that defending a member of the paparazzi can be an uphill battle because the paparazzi don't garner much sympathy in court with juries or judges.
Celebrities have begun blaming the paparazzi for their many problems, regardless of their alcoholism, drug addiction of various other life problems. For example:
- Lindsay Lohan recently came out and said that her string of car accidents. The 'Mean Girls' actress has previously landed behind bars for her two DUI charges, including a 2007 incident when she was charged for possessing cocaine, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.
- Robert Pattinson says that he is being forced to stay in doors more than he would like because of his paparazzi followers.
- KANYE WEST has lambasted the paparazzo he clashed with at Los Angeles International Airport last year, accusing the snapper of making the incident a "bigger deal" than it really was. The Stronger rapper was arrested along with his manager following the run-in in September. They were charged with felony vandalism after reportedly smashing a photographer's camera, but the charges were later dropped by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
