Imagine yourself rich and famous, living the modern American dream. Now imagine being constantly stalked by a gaggle of random strangers bombarding you with cameras. Over the years, paparazzi have sought out celebrity scandals in order to receive money. In doing so, they deprived thousands of celebrities of their right to privacy. According to the 2006 blog "The Digital Paparazzi", there were 1,360 different events between 1999 and 2010 involving intrusive photographers (Sim and Adcock, np). They have caused many headaches, injuries and even deaths. Paparazzi abuses became extreme to the point that Congress created a set of laws prohibiting them from certain exploits. “Buzzing Bugs” have physically, emotionally and legally raped celebrities. The most devastating event, attributed to the paparazzi, was the death of one of the most beloved members of the British royal family. While trying to escape the paparazzi, Imperial Princess Diana, along with her boyfriend, driver and bodyguard, were involved in a car accident. Even though his driver was intoxicated, the public nonetheless argued that the paparazzi's irrational tactics caused him to speed. Fleeing the paparazzi on a motorbike, the car crashed into a concrete pole, spun several times and collided with the wall of a tunnel. However, Princess Diana was not the only victim of this cat and mouse game. In an attempt to avoid being provoked by the paparazzi, LeAnn Rimes collided with a vehicle in 2009; January Jones crashed into two parked cars in 2011; Tori Spelling got into a fight at her children's school that same year; and recently, Lindsay Lohan crashed into a truck (Glinow, np).
