Kim Kardashian outraged by hounding paparazzi
Kim Kardashian has called for Los Angeles officials to introduce new laws to prevent members of the paparazzi from endangering the lives of celebrities after they allegedly hounded her and threatened her life on Thursday (06Jun13).
The reality TV star and tabloid regular, who is due to give birth to a baby girl with her rapper boyfriend Kanye West in July (13), claims a group of snappers became overly aggressive after she tried to cover her face while out and about.
In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, an outraged
Kardashian writes, "I wouldn't let the paps get a pic of me today +
they threatened my life + said if I continue to block shots then
they will make my world dangerous to live in! How dare they
threaten my life + my unborn child! This has gotten way out of
control!"
Kardashian goes on to accuse the photographers of driving
dangerously after pursuing her to land pictures on Wednesday
(05Jun13): "Yesterday 4 cars boxed me in. One in front, behind, +
one on each side just to have me drive at their speed so they can
snap through the window. Its (sic) really so scary what they are
legally allowed to get away with!
"For years I've always been so gracious. Every shot they take now
just isn't flattering + crazy stories get made up, so why would I
willingly just let them stalk me + smile for them?"
Now the Keeping Up With the Kardashians beauty has pleaded with the
press to give her some space so she can "enjoy this last month of
pregnancy".
She adds, "Let me enjoy this last month of pregnancy please without
threats + being scared to leave my home due to what dangerous thing
they just threatened to do to me. What will it take for there to be
laws put in place to prevent this behavior?
"I get I live a public life. I live my life on a reality show for
the world to see. I love my life, but when the cameras stop, that
doesn't mean I don't want a break too. I'm 32 yrs (years)old now,
about to be a mom. I'm not 25 clubbing around LA anymore. There's
no excuse for threats + stalking!"
Kardashian isn't the first star to campaign for laws to keep the
paparazzi in line - Halle Berry has been vocal about her demand to
have snappers banned from hanging around outside the schools of
celebrity kids, while Nicole Richie has also called for similar
legislation.
