Some individuals believe that reporters following
celebrities
everywhere are a gross invasion of privacy.
On the other hand
, some believe that it is just part and parcel of what comes with being popular. I believe that
celebrities
are
also
human and due to
paparazzi
culture, they feel violated.
This
essay will discuss both sides of the views and shed light on why the
paparazzi
should leave
celebrities
alone as it leads to mental health issues.
Firstly
, due to the constant attention and photographers trying to take pictures of
celebrities
, it affects mental health to a certain extent. One should not forget that
celebrities
are
also
human who used to live a quiet life with their friends and family before they became famous,
hence
constant pressure to look good and act a certain way takes a toll on their mental health which leads to drastic consequences. One very recent example of
this
is Britney Spear's very public meltdown in 2007 due to constant
paparazzi
attention.
This
led to her court-ordered conservatorship which she is still battling in court. Another problem is the safety of
celebrities
. Due to photographers following them everywhere, and
celebrities
trying to invade them, it might lead to safety and security concerns.
For instance
, Princess Diana's death passed away in a tragic road accident while being chased by the
paparazzi
. I agree with
this
viewpoint as I believe
celebrities
are
also
human and should be allowed to live their life without worrying about how they look and who will take their pictures.
On the flip side,
celebrities
need
paparazzi
's around them in order to remain relevant and in the news. As a famous saying goes, out of sight is out of mind,
celebrities
need the photographers around them to remain constantly in the news.
This
indirectly benefits them especially movie stars who use
this
for their upcoming film promotions and endorsements.
For instance
,
celebrities
like Ananya Pandey and Jahnavi Kapoor have already become famous due to

by reporters, which in turn helped them in making their
first
film a big hit. In my opinion,
this
unnecessarily gives rise to the culture of nepotism where untalented kids of famous parents become famous for being famous.
In conclusion, I believe every coin has two sides. While reporters constantly following a celebrity can be an invasion of their privacy it
also
indirectly helps them stay relevant and famous, but a line should be drawn as to what

the

celebrities
so that it doesn't affect them mentally, emotionally and physically.
