One of the things that gets lost in this discussion is the role Paris played in her own celebrity. She orchestrated it all and at least this article confronts that reality. She's famous for going to parties and posing for pictures. She wants to be photographed, all the time. She is wedded to the paparazzi. It's her living. She goes to places where she knows she'll be photographed. So yes, the coverage is beyond excessive, but she invited this on herself, and now she doesn't want it. She is accustomed to being in control.
The key facts are definitely that Paris has never had to do something she didn't want to. Most of us have to do many things we don't want to every day. Paris has never been told no. She doesn't even have to put up with petty annoyances like going to the bank.
It's even worse. When she was pulled over they asked her for her license--she said her publicist deals with that. That means her parents utterly failed to raise this child right. And unfortunately many people are following in her footsteps.
