The paparazzi seem to be the most disliked people by stars. They harass and annoy them with big cameras and intrusive behavior. Most of the time, celebrities get off lightly, but sometimes photographers can cause serious trouble.
Nicole Kidman
Seven years ago New York Fashion Week was remembered not for its shows, but for the incident with Nicole Kidman and a careless paparazzi. On the last day of the shows, the actress was getting out of the car to go to the Carlyle Hotel, as suddenly there appeared a cyclist with a camera on his arm, riding, as witnesses say, at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour. Apparently, the driver was so dazzled by the unearthly beauty of Nicole, that he failed to cope with the control and crashed into the actress. She, in turn, lost her balance, fell and injured her ankle. Hopefully, this photographer no longer practices shooting celebrities while driving a bike or, worse, a car at the same time.
David Beckham
All in the same 2013 accident caused by photographers also happened to a famous soccer player. David was riding out of the Shamrock Tattoo parlor, which is located in West Hollywood, when he lost control and fell off his motorcycle. The misunderstanding happened because of the paparazzi, who wanted to take a picture of the star as close as possible. In a hurry to get away from the photographers, Beckham did not fit into the turn at the first intersection. Fortunately, the injuries were minor: a bruise and a muscle sprain in his right arm.
Brad Pitt
Once, the paparazzi almost provoked an accident with Brad Pitt as well. Like David Beckham, the actor was driving his motorcycle while photographers were preparing to take an impressive picture of Pitt’s diligent family man. Being too persistent in their pursuit, they nearly hit the actor’s vehicle. It was only his driving skills that saved the star. The actor decided to drive into someone’s yard and confuse the photographers, what happened next – history is silent.
Justin Bieber
In June 2014, Justin’s car was once again chased by paparazzi. During an attempt to escape, his black Cadillac Escalade SUV, driven by the musician’s driver, was hit by a BMW leaving the parking lot. Bieber got off with a minor scare, his car – a scratch, but the BMW driver received more serious damage – but it is not specified. The only thing known is that the foreign car of the accident culprit had to be evacuated.
Selena Gomez
Almost immediately after Bieber, his now ex-beloved Selena Gomez got in an accident. The singer was leaving the parking lot when the car of the paparazzi who were chasing her crashed into her at speed. Surprisingly, instead of helping Gomez, the photographers began actively taking “roast” pictures. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident.
