Joel Madden versus the Paparazzi

Joel Madden wasn’t very happy when he and baby Harlow tried to make their way through the Miami airport earlier this week. Madden explained on Twitter:

Let me just say shame on any magazine or blog that post pics of us in the miami airport. The photographers were acting like animals.

it was the first time i’ve ever seen my child scared. Not cool for any parent to see. At least in LA they gave us some space.

These guys were sticking flashes in her face and bumping in to us and yelling. The most unneccessary force i’ve ever seen.

I get annoyed when people complain about photogs too, i mean leaving clubs and restaraunts you gotta expect it. But this was just wrong

And thats all i’ll say about that. I geuss its a different kind of animal that i will never accept or understand.

The paparazzi in Miami must be desperate to make some cash. In this economy everyone is desperate to make a buck, but that doesn’t excuse their behavior with or without Harlow there. There are boundaries the paparazzi KNOW they should respect.
