'Frozen' Actress Kristen Bell Vs Tabloids And ‘Pedorazzi’ Campaign Extends To TV! Finds Ally In Entertainment Tonight

"Frozen" Movie Actress Kristen Bell, who voiced and sang as Anna, the lead character, has a real fight on her hands. She has launched a campaign against tabloids taking unauthorized photographs of celebrity children-or what she has dubbed the 'pedorazzi.'

The details of her campaign from Indiewire: "Bell recently ramped up the stakes of her battle against unwanted paparazzi by refusing to talk to outlets that buy photos from them. She tweeted, 'I won't do interviews 4 entities that pay photogs to take pics of my baby anymore. I care more about my integrity & my values than my career.' She has also publicly shamed at least two publications by name: People Magazine and E! News." 

She even found an ally with Entertainment Tonight. The media outfit has signed on in support of Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard in the fight against taking photos of celebrity children without consent.


"Since the birth of their daughter, Bell and Shepard have been vocal on this topic and decline interviews with media outlets known to purchase images from the paparazzi. Both actors have passionately campaigned, especially through their personal social media platforms, to motivate others and bring more attention to this cause. Media outlets using images celebrities post on their own social media platforms or of children attending red carpets and media events are not the issue.

By joining forces, ET and the couple hope that additional press outlets will follow their lead. ET's sister show, The Insider independently adapted the "no kids" policy after meeting with Bell.

Bell states, "The support of ET, the most influential national entertainment newsmagazine, is invaluable in the fight against paparazzi taking photos of the children of celebrities without consent. By creating a greatly diminished demand for these images, it is my hope that these children will no longer be subjected to being followed, yelled at, taunted and having their privacy invaded on a daily basis. Hopefully, these children can return to their routines without having cameras relentlessly pointed at them. I am so grateful to Entertainment Tonight for helping us pave the way on this issue and hope we can count on other media outlets to adopt the same policy."

While celebrities have to accept the loss of privacy (to a certain degree) because of the career they have chosen, their children should be excluded from the public's prying eye. They are still children even if they have famous parents. Taking their photo without prior content is a violation of their basic human right.
