War on the Jolie-Pitt Miraval Estate

Paparazzi Invade the Estate for Pictures

Is nothing in our world sacred any longer, why can a family not celebrate the birth of their children in peace no matter who that family is? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently had the pleasure of bringing home their twin babies, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, to the chateau. Yes these are two very famous people in the U.S. everyone knows them and wants to know everything about them but truly where is the line drawn.

When stars have babies they sell the pictures for thousands and sometimes even millions of dollars. Dollars that go nowhere but to line their pockets and go straight into their large bank accounts. Angie and Brad have made the effort to sell their twin's photos to the highest bidder but only if the money will go to charity. It is reported that the sale will be made for the price tag of $11 million dollars. With big hearts like these two have one would think that the paparazzi would respect their decision and choice of whom they wish to sell their pictures too.

No, you guessed it according to the news this morning on Comcast a report by the Associated Press tells, a story of two paparazzi who dressed in camouflage gear and entered the Jolie-Pitt Estate. Their plan was to take unwanted and unsolicited photos of the couples twins. This brought on a fight between the guards hired by Jolie and Pitt to protect their estate and family from just this sort of thing.

It has been reported that no one actually knows how long the photographers were on the estate or how many pictures they took before being found. There was a fight that ended with just a few bruises but no serious injuries to either the guards or the paparazzi. They were however taken to the station house for questioning. It has not been said what if any laws have been broken. Is it appropriate for the guards to fight with the paparazzi, would it be a matter of who is legally allowed on the property, what if anything is allowed in order for the guards to keep them away?
