Jennifer Garner Tells Paparazzi "Shame, Shame, Shame!"

Posted by Karl Erikson



Jennifer Garner is sick and tired of the paparazzi that incessantly hound her and her family. "Because my husband and I are public figures, it is assumed that our daughters are public figures, and there’s nothing to protect them," Jennifer says.

"There are almost as many video cameras as there are film cameras and the situation has shifted so that a huge amount of their focus is put on the children of celebrities," she goes on to say.



There's a mob of paps pretty much living outside Jennifer's and Ben Affleck's home, hoping to get a glimpse of beautiful 3-year-old Violet and her little 4-mos-old sibling, Seraphina Rose. Jennifer says that the daily preschool run is torture.

"When we go to preschool, there are so many paparazzi there that they are knocking kids on the heads with cameras and knocking them down," Jen says. And they aren't happy with just one photo, either. The photographers are constantly calling out to Violet, trying to catch her eye.

"There are huge numbers of them - and they’re aggressive. They talk to her. They yell at her. They try to get her attention. They try to get her to react. It is a shame, shame, shame."

I don't know what Jennifer is complaining about. If she didn't want to be hounded by photographers, she should never have had children. Ahem.

Jen's latest movie, "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," is in theaters right now. I don't really need to see it to know it sucks. It's got Matthew MaheyHey in it. When was the last time HE made a good movie?

She's right. As of now, I am not going to read this blog anymore. I've been feeling weird about it for a while, and I think it's wrong to spy on other people's kids, so I'm done.

I feel for them. Yes, public figures, but some of the videos of Jen and Ben at the preschool are scary.

Okay, I'll say it... I do like seeing how normal they are (most celebs, that is and especially the Afflecks) but the paps taking video and even talking to the children is beyond ridiculous.  Why not just take their pics at events?  Or from a distance away - lenses are powerful! There should be a law against stalking them at their homes, preschools, during family time, etc.
