Angelina Jolie a Prime Paparazzi Target After Mother's Death

The American media runs on a 15-minute news cycle online and with celebrity news it is even sometimes faster than that. It was one week ago that Angelina Jolie lost her mother and one would think that there would be a moratorium on the star getting the long lens treatment. Not so - in fact - Angelina Jolie may be prime paparazzi target number one.

Is it really that bad? A report from nightly entertainment news show Access Hollywood explains. Normally when someone you know loses someone they loved very much, you give them their space. Sadly, the same can’t be said of the paparazzi, who don’t seem to be too moved by the death of Angelina Jolie’s mother Marcheline Bertrand.

The report explains that a visibly annoyed Brad Pitt was mobbed by the paparazzi (and subsequently blinded by flash bulbs) as he left his office this week trying to get home to Angelina Jolie and his kids.

In fact, it was so bad, Brad Pitt needed a police escort to his motorcycle. According to the report online from AH the paparazzi siege began early in the day as photogs staked their claim outside of Brad’s office, yelling at policemen who were issuing them parking tickets.

Not only did they harass Brad’s police escort, but they even taunted Pitt as he left the building.

“Has Jon Voight tried to contact you guys yet?” one yelled. “Be careful on your bike now,” another said smugly.
