One person is dead. The article says Ms Jenner was trying to get away from several paparazzi where chasing Ms Jenner, Jenner rear ended a smaller car, that person died at the scene. Ms Jenner passed a field sobriety test. This is sad. I wish the best for the dead womans' family.
I cannot imaging the guilt of Ms Jenner, and the paparazzi. Those people hounded an uninvolved driver to her death.

You don't get to drive recklessly and smash into someone because you want to avoid paparazzi.

Why is it that celebs think they shouldn't have any. Getting chased by paparazzi comes with the huge pay checks. If you don't want to get chased stay home...in your luxury mansion!

You never see any pictures of Meryl Streep or her kids out in public because she's made the choice to be private. They all have that choice. Just like the rest of us have choices.

I hope that this puts an end to the ridiculousness of the whole Kardashian clan. I honestly don't see why the public has such a fascination with these people who have done nothing to warrant it.

being followed around .

there are many celebs who will also let paps know about where they will be in order to be photographed and on tv and magazines.

meryl streep is more about acting, the art of it . not about just wanting to be famous just to be famous .

Also....I've read where Angelina Jolie will pose for photogs because she cares about people and sees them as just trying to make a living, supporting there families and is happy for them to get up to 100 grand for a pic. US mag can afford it.

especially when they know they're going to be dodging paparazzi. Obviously Jenner is a target for them right now, and will be for some time no doubt.

They're savages. They follow these people, no matter who is driving.

we all remember Diana.

Just to protect myself however, I'd have a driver.

Not a problem I'm likely to have though.

Everyone who saw Bruce knew it was a literal car wreck and now it's become an actual car wreck. These peeps need help.

...from the paparazzi. After Princess Diana, I hoped something would change... but it only got worse.

For a good movie about the psychotic world of the LA paparazzi, check out Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal.

i'm pretty sure the jenners/kardashians are some of those "celebs" who tip off paparazzi many times when they do want to be on camera.

... I was expecting this response. Glad to see it was you! I almost edited my post to clarify but figured what the hell... Busted!

Ironic that I allowed myself to conflate paparazzi and news porn ambulance chasers in this, of all threads.

Nightcrawler would be all over this because of the accident and would have caught a twofer with the celebrity.

Practically every magazine has Jenner on it. If he's so damn camera shy then STAY HOME instead of parading yourself around and complaining.

Kim K having her big fat ass and crotch photographed...these people cannot be put in the same category as Princess Diana.
