The Celebrity Truth

Julia Roberts has discussed what was behind her headline-grabbing chase of a paparazzi photographer last month, where she ordered him to turn his camera off to talk to him, after the photographer followed her to a school.

In an interview with Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson on Friday (November 30), Roberts discussed what was behind her outburst, explaining, "I think there needs to be some kind of line drawn in the sand with everybody as grown-up people who can fight our own fights."

She added, "I don’t think the magazines, the newspapers should show celebrities’ children." 

The footage, posted on TMZ and other gossip websites, show Roberts confronting the paparazzo, saying, "Turn it off… I want to talk to you about the fact that you’re at a school where children go."

When asked what she said to the lensman once the camera was off, she replied, "I just told him a school is not a place for a grown man to be crawling around trying to take pictures.

"Because, it’s not where you come to take pictures of me. And he’s looking like a pedophile, so somebody is going to call the police on him and land him in jail.

"If you want to take a picture of a person, then go to an adult place. Go to the coffee shop, go to the grocery store, go to the restaurant. Don’t stake out someone’s children’s church, school or playground environment."
