They follow celebrities to get the best photo: Paparazzi are part of Hollywood, as is the neighborhood's famous logo about Los Angeles. Actress Scarlett Johansson infuriates the rude behavior of some photographers because they cause dangerous situations again and again.

"Until paparazzi do not by law count as criminal stalkers they are, it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or dies like Princess Diana," writes Johansson in a statement taken from several US media, among others "PeopleHere's People's Report," quoted. She had been followed in the evening after a TV recording of five darkened cars and reported this to the police.

The police confirmed the incident to the Hollywood Reporter. Johansson was not at the wheel of the car. But she and her two passengers felt insecure.

Scarlett Johansson: Pursued by Paparazzi

Again and again it comes - especially in Hollywood - to real chases between celebrities and photographers. In Paris, Princess Diana of Wales died in a car accident in 1997 after being persecuted by Paparazzi.

"Even after the tragic death of Princess Diana, laws have never changed to protect the targets of lawless paparazzi," writes Johansson. "Many paparazzi have a criminal past and will act criminally to get their snapshots." Sometimes, according to the "Avengers" actress, photographers followed her to the playground to take pictures of her five-year-old daughter.
