9 Of The Worst Paparazzi Vs. Celebrity Incidents

Since paparazzi attention can lead to very unsafe situations, Scarlett Johansson and other celebrities are now calling for stricter laws in order to limit the risk that they are put in whenever they go outside. So let’s remember some of the most dangerous paparazzi vs. celebrity incidents.

Princess Diana
I would argue that this is the most famous case of paparazzi being blamed for an incident involving a celebrity. What’s worse – the celebrity in question died. The cause of the accident was said to be reckless behavior of paparazzi who left the driver no chance but to drive into that tunnel where the crash happened. Although many conspiracy theories surrounded her death, the final verdict was that the death was caused by reckless driving which, itself, was caused by the need to flee from paparazzi.

Scarlett Johansson
Since princess Diana’s death, the “the paparazzi did it!” has become a very popular excuse for celebrities who have experienced vehicular misfortunes. When everyone’s favorite actress Scarlett Johansson got into a car crash, she also claimed that the reckless behavior of paparazzi caused Henri Paul (the one driving the car) to crash their Mercedes. Turns out, Mr. Henri Paul was intoxicated by prescription drugs. So it’s more like a DUI than a paparazzi incident, and hence – Scarlet did was not allowed to press criminal charges against the nosy photographers.

George Clooney
It’s not all bad car crashes and disaster when it comes to paparazzi incidents with celebrities. In a famous instance of #GeorgeClooneyBeingAGoodGuy, everyone’s favorite silver fox pulled over the paparazzi and gave them a stern talking to for their reckless behavior. The incident was filmed and submitted to TMZ who reported on this incident. If only more people were like George Clooney. I honestly think we would live in a much safer world!
