Suri Cruise 'Brat'? Rude Paparazzo Calls Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise's Daughter A 'B#tch' in Viral VIDEO
Most people find the actions of the paparazzi obnoxious as it is, but when photographers cross the line from harassing celebrities to harassing the elementary school-aged children of celebrities...that's beyond unethical.
The incident that raised the ire of the public this week was when a photographer began lashing out at Suri Cruise. Suri has always lived in a paparazzi hurricane, being the child of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, but she seemed irritated when she came out of a restaurant with her mother on Tuesday. The seven year-old told photographers to "get out of the way," which prompted one paparazzo to call her a "little brat" and "a b----."
Perhaps Suri's words were not too polite. But Suri is seven. Seven years olds are not the optimal species for politeness.
The guilty party requested that Suri turn around for a picture, which she did not respond to. The photographer then yelled "Bye Suri, you little brat." Another paparazzo questioned the first's actions, saying "whoa, whoa...when you're a father bro, it's a whole different thing."
The first then underlined his coolness by saying "she's a little b--- dawg."
Defending children from paparazzi attention has become a hot-button Hollywood issue in recent years. Halle Berry spoke in the California Capitol in June about establishing a bill that would create restrictions against photographing the underage children of celebrities.
