In a recent interview, acclaimed actress Keira Knightley has revealed the harrowing paparazzi harassment she faced during the peak of her fame as a teenager. Knightley, who rose to stardom with roles in films like Bend It Like Beckham, recounted how photographers would post up outside her home for days on end, shouting profanities like "whore" and "slut" in an attempt to provoke a reaction.
