“Veronica Mars” star Kristen Bell stops by HuffPost Live to talk about dealing with paparazzi on a daily basis and about a recent incident where she was called “the c-word.”
Bell also talks paparazzi who prey on the children of stars:
Bell explained her viewpoint that paparazzi should leave the children of stars alone:
“Right now, I feel like children need to be left out of it. It’s too much to rope them in, they’re babies, they don’t understand. You cannot be stalking 6-year-olds. To me, it’s consent. If a parent consents, that’s like signing a permission slip. Because I signed up to be an actress, I also signed up to be a parent and I take my role as a mother very seriously and you do not have permission to photograph my daughter. So, if someone gives you permission, that’s fine. If a celebrity sets something up, I’m not here to come down on them, but it really should be up to the parent.”
Speaking of being followed around by paparazzi, Bell told of the following incident:
“But I had a guy, just when I was leaving my interview before this, I was pulling into the garage, he was banging on the window and because I didn’t roll it down, he called me the C-word and he said, ‘I’m posting [at] your hotel,’ as a threat saying there’s going to be more people now following you all the time.”

“People act like animals and that’s just not OK with me. It’s absurd and we’ve gotten to a point where we’ve just lost a humanity.”
