Kendall Jenner Says the Paparazzi Scare Her
"It becomes very dehumanizing to have zero privacy."
While Kendall Jenner certainly enjoys the perks of celebrity, it's worth remembering that being in the spotlight wasn't completely her choice (ahem, we see you Kris Jenner). Kendall discussed some of the downsides of fame on her website—specifically her relationship with the paparazzi.
"If the paps run a red light—all twelve of them—and almost kill someone else, I'll definitely tell them off," Kendall writes. "I stop, tell them to pull up next to me and I say, 'You assholes! Not only are you going to kill yourself, but you're going to kill innocent people around you.' I just go off on them."
Despite the occasional outburst, Kendall doesn't have much control over the paparazzi, and essentially lives life in a fish bowl. "The fact that I don't have any say in it is frustrating," she explains. "I understand that I'm a public figure, but it becomes very dehumanizing to have zero privacy."
Kendall relies on her friends to maintain normalcy, but apparently she has upwards of ten paparazzi waiting outside her house every day. To quote her, "that's legit stalking."
Check yourself before you wreck yourself, paps.
