Okay, so I was totally wrong about that whole 'staged paparazzi walk' thing.

I saw a video from a 2015 red carpet where the celeb literally told the photog 'not today, man' and walked away, which made me check the EXIF data on a bunch of 'candid' shots. Anyone else have a moment that flipped a gossip belief for them?

But is it that big a deal?

Honestly, yeah it is. Because if we all just shrug and say it's not a big deal, nothing ever changes. It sets a standard for what people think they can get away with. So what happens next time, when it's something even worse?

Reading an article a while back about celebrity publicists actually teaching their clients how to handle staged paparazzi moments, it really opened my eyes. Made me realize how much of what we see in those "candid" shots is just planned content with a natural-looking filter over it. It definitely changed how seriously I take those gossip magazine stories.
