Outlets Won’t Respect Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s Personal Space

Over the weekend we ran a story highlighting an incident in which paparazzi weaved through Los Angeles traffic in pursuit of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. The actors received assistance from police before anyone was hurt.

But the chase again brought to the forefront how an intense tabloid culture sometimes crosses the line into dangerous or invasive behavior.

We’re reminded of that boundary today, as the gang over at HollywoodLife decided to breathe new life into old rumors about Pattinson and Stewart’s supposed secret “love nest” — complete with a photo.

Most of what we cover is relatively harmless. Who’s dating whom, who’s been cast in what, what did a tabloid pull out of its you-know-where… keeping the celebrity news media honest is usually light business.

This is not one of those stories.

According to TMZ, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were driving home from LAX airport in Los Angeles when they noticed paparazzi on their tail, “weaving through traffic.” Sources say the pair stopped into a police station to ask for help, and cops, fortunately, were able to shepherd them safely back on to the road.

X17Online.com is completely sensationalizing a confrontation between Robert Pattinson and paparazzi who hounded him as he drove this weekend. He supposedly “yells” at a photog after committing a “hit & run.” He got “pissy,” claims the site.

It’s a total misrepresentation.

COMMENTARY

By almost every measure, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart live charmed lives. They have successful film careers, adoring fans, youth, talent, wealth, and good health.

There is not much either one “needs.”

Except the same respect and decency afforded everyone else.

They don’t need bigger targets on their backs. They don’t need to be prey.
