George Clooney is gearing up to sue France’s Voici magazine after they published photos of his twin babies with wife Amal on the front cover. The french company, on the other hand, issued a statement expressing no regret for the exclusive.
The Clooney‘s children are off-limits
George Clooney and Amal Clooney welcomed their twins, Alexander and Ella, on June 6. And it was, of course, a fuzz for the celebrity world. The couple confirmed the news via a statement and we haven’t had the chance the meet the twins yet.
While the couple has remained quite protective of their privacy and hasn’t allowed the public to see the babies. French magazine, Voici, published a so-called exclusive with a blurry picture of the new parents holding the babies.
The picture was taken at their Lake Como property, in Italy. And George was definitely not happy with the paparazzo intrusion and decided to go after the magazine, as he expressed in a statement on Friday.
“Over the last week photographers from Voici magazine scaled our fence, climbed our tree and illegally took pictures of our infants inside our home,” he started. “Make no mistake the photographers, the agency, and the magazine will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The safety of our children demands it.”
Voici shared a statement in response to Clooney’s statement, saying that they’d simply responded public’s demand, and that that the pictures didn’t put the family in danger. Well, if or when George and Amal want to make any announcement about their children or want the public to see them, it’s clear that they will do it on their own terms.
Give it up, George
Clooney has always been outspoken, especially when it comes to the paparazzi and its treatment of celebrities around the world.
Three days after Princess Diana was killed in a car accident, following a high-speed chase with photographers, Clooney held a press conference and said the following:
“Princess Di is dead. And who should we see about that? The driver of the car, the paparazzis, or the magazines and papers who purchase these pictures and make bounty hunters out of photographers,” he said.
“The same magazines, television shows, and papers that use their pages creating the news, causing altercations and then filming them. Well, you must be exhilarated.”
After all, celebrities are just humans entitled to their own life and privacy.
