Garner: Paparazzi Danger to Kids Was Ludicrous
22 Jul
Summary
- Garner advocated for laws against paparazzi danger to children.
- Photographers endangered drivers and blocked emergency access.
- One photographer has an odd, respectful, yet tense relationship.
Jennifer Garner recently shared intense personal experiences with paparazzi, particularly concerning the safety of her children.
Garner recalled how aggressive paparazzi behavior created significant dangers, including reckless driving that endangered other motorists and even obstructed access to children's soccer games. She described the situation as 'ludicrous,' emphasizing the risks posed to the public and children.
She and Halle Berry spearheaded efforts in 2013 to enact new California laws aimed at protecting children from such intrusive photography. The actresses testified before a state assembly committee, leading to the law's eventual passage.
While discussing current-day paparazzi, Garner revealed that two photographers have followed her for over two decades. She detailed a complex relationship with one, describing instances of both calling the police and relying on him during a perceived threat, labeling it a "Stockholm Syndrome thing."
Garner is currently promoting her series, 'The Five Star Weekend,' and is also involved in producing a Netflix reboot of '13 Going on 30.'
