Dua Lipa Confronts Paris Paparazzi as Security Escorts Couple After Dinner

The viral clip has renewed criticism of paparazzi tactics, raising questions about privacy and safety.

Overview

  • Videos from Feb. 11 show Dua Lipa and fiancé Callum Turner leaving a Paris restaurant and repeatedly asking photographers to stop filming and following them.
  • Turner is heard telling someone, “It’s not okay,” while Lipa says, “No, no, no, we are not doing this,” before pleading, “Can you please go away?”
  • Photographers continued to trail the pair and tried to bargain for images, telling them to give “just one picture” or “one minute” in exchange for being left alone.
  • BuzzFeed’s account notes a paparazzo shouting “Show your face,” Lipa nearly running into a pole as she tried to get away, and a valet using a hat to help shield her.
  • Restaurant security stepped in to block cameras and escort the couple, as online reaction condemned the conduct as harassment; no official statements or legal action have been reported.
