Salma Hayek Angered by Paparazzi’s treatment of her baby
Now that pictures of celebrities’ babies are the hottest things in Hollywood – to the point where the pictures of Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez’s twins commanded a whopping six million dollars - Salma Hayek has found herself seriously disturbed and alarmed at the lengths the papparazzi will go through just to get a picture of her baby.
It has been reported that the 41-year old star of such blockbusters as Desperado and Frida was constantly hounded by photographers ever since she became pregnant, and the intensity and frequency of the photography stalking and hounding has increased by the time she had her daughter, Valentina.
Salma’s concern has reached an all time high last february when a violent clash with photographers almost resulted in her daughter being thrown off her caretaker’s arms and into the pavement. As Salma recalls, it started when a group of photographers started aggressively taking pictures of her with the nanny and Valentina. When she started screaming at them to mind the baby, the photographers started pushing the nanny, who then fell to the floor while holding the baby.
Salma states that she wasn’t entirely sure if the papparazzi’s were trying to take a picture or deliberately pushing the baby just to provoke a reaction from her. From her perspective it seemed almost deliberate.
