What was supposed to be a beautiful and peaceful day of shopping for Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale at the stylish Modern Living Furniture store on Beverly Blvd turned into a full-fledged nightmare. While the couple and Kingston shopped, a large group of paparazzi showed up to make their photos. Hey, that is fine and that is their job. After all of the routine flashes going off through the window, a middle aged vivacious petite woman strolled out of the shop to ask the paparazzi to give them a break and please stay off their private property. Well, this did not go down too well with one paparazzi holding a video camera, so what did he do? He smacked this petite woman right in the head with his camera and he smacked her hard! Just wait, it gets even more interesting. A reporter from Univision who just happened to be at the scene doing a news story about the paparazzi was kicked for just for being there as a journalist covering this disgrace. A woman is attacked and a reporter is assaulted and all of this for what? For a total non story that would have netted chump change for the agency owner.

What the hell is going on here? Speaking for Buzz Foto, we are proud of our craft and all this does it DESTROY our industry. There is no reason for physical violence in our industry, but unfortunately it is becoming more and more prevalent and even in posh shopping districts. Paparazzi is not about gang mentalities or over aggressions, it is about making a beautiful photograph and of an iconic celebrity and sharing it with the world. Remember a few bad apples can and will destroy the industry.
