Don’t mess with this pretty woman! Hollywood actress Julia Roberts has joined the growing number of stars who are fed up with being tailed by the paparazzi incessantly. The mother-of-three reportedly lost her cool after seeing photographers filming her near a Los Angeles school and raced after them in her Mercedes four-wheel drive, blasting her horn and gesturing to them to pull over. Videotape of the incident was broadcast by U.S. television show Inside Edition.
She scolded them for filming near a school and ordered them to turn off a camera filming her. “Listen, you can turn your video camera off. You’re at a school where children go. Turn it off,” she said, according to Web site TMZ.com.
The list of stars losing their cool with the paparazzi is growing:
- Last week George Clooney struck out at the “bounty hunters” — accusing them of putting the saftey of bystanders at risk as they chased celebrities
- British actor Hugh Grant was arrested earlier this year after he was accused of attacking a photographer outside his home with a tub of baked beans, but he did not face changes
- former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan is being investigated on possible assault charges against a photographer
- British actor Jude Law was cleared in October of assaulting a photographer outside his London home
Bet none of them were too sad when they saw Britney Spears in October driving over a photographer’s foot as she tried to negotiate her way out of a car park, leaving him crumbled up on the floor as she drove off.

Dear Mrs. Roberts,
- Posted by Gabrielle Westcott, 11You go girl! You are absulotly right a man talking pics in a school how totally nasty. You should sue him
I totally agree with her actions. Children shouldn’t be photographed weather its directly or indirectly. There are so many pervs today you don’t know what kind of freak would get a hold of those pics and do whatever. I think it should be a code among these photographers to block the kids pics form the photos or not show them at all…out of respect.
