Hollywood stars Halle
Berry and Jennifer
Garner have joined hands to lend their support to a proposed anti-paparazzi bill that would make photographing their children without their permission a crime.
Both the actresses testified before the California State Assembly Committee in support of the proposed bill, reported E!News.
“I chose a public life. My three children are private citizens. I love my kids. They’re beautiful and sweet and innocent, and I don’t want a gang of shouting, arguing, lawbreaking photographers who camp out everywhere we are all day, every day, to continue traumatizing my kids,” Garner said Berry said the photographers ask Nahla about her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey. The actress, who is expecting another child with fiance Olivier Martinez, said the photographers use curse words around her 5-year-old daughter.
“‘How do you feel, Nahla? You may not see your father again. How do you feel about that?’ They say curse words and call me names, all trying to provoke some sort of response to sell a photograph,” Berry said. Senate Bill 606, written by Senator Kevin DeLeon of Los Angeles, would change the legal definition of harassment to include photographing or recording a child without the permission of a legal guardian.
