Brad on the Paps: "I Hate Them!"

Brad Pitt BPITTAJOLIE022008_066_X17.jpgArchive pic

Brad may be a photographer himself, but he had harsh words for the ones who try to snap candid pix of him and his family on the Today Show this morning.

"Let me be very blunt, I hate them. I hate these people. I don’t understand how they do that for a living," Brad said resolutely.

Do you think Brad's justified to have such disdain for the paparazzi, or is the man who exploits his own family in photos sold for millions and millions of dollars being hypocritical?

Chat it out below!



I think he's right to be concerned, but he chose to be a celebrity, right?

brangelina called for the paparazzi!!!!



Posted by: hypocritical to the max

be honest brad its not the paps you hate its x17 bloggers Talking about the way you dont take care of your kids by not providing them a stable home life or an edcuation/
Plus your old lady lost her looks and
you hate the comments that you and angie arent cute or sexy any more.

they are gross--i say do not photograph them ever again- let's see where their
popularity goes-the same to all of those that say do not take my picture- but promote a new movie, book and they are all over the place-Britney?

Thank you , X17 for calling him out. I see around the net on celeb sites people kiss his butt and never point out the fact that he pimps his family out to the highest bidder. All of those pix of brad out and about with his kids around the world... the papz just happened to know exactly where he was at that time? Many times Angelina wasn't even with them so don't even try to blame her this time. She takes the blame for everything.

I guess it took him dissing y'all for you to finally call him out. whatever.

If you don't like the paps so much, maybe you should have been a plumber, dumbass!!!

He annoys me more than britney and lindsay combined!!!

Anyone with common sense should know what he means. The thing is...the 'paps' need to know that there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. Such as having them take pics of your children or an outing with children. The kids didn't ask for the star treatment. So I say...leave them out of it. As far as him 'exploiting' his kids...it's un-true. But even if it was....HE'S THE PARENT!!! It's their right!



Posted by: Brad is an idiot

From some celebs I would buy this but from Brad StuPitt??? Really??? I have to agree with the coments by x-17 eventhough I usually don't, but he exploits his family for publicity. Regardless of what they do with the money it IS STILL wrong to use their kids that way. They both have more than enough money for charity. Then of course we hear how much the donate every year but most of that money comes from selling their baby pics. Seriously, these two only care about their image, as the NYtimes says. They talked about Jolie, but Brad is also a part of this, especially when it comes to the baby pic sells. Now he complains about the paps??? He is putting a price on his kids when they sell their pics for a ridiculous amount of money, wtf did he expected??

Noone realy has any proff they give the money to charity. You know they keep some for themselfs or take thier sweet time givng it out. where did the 14 mil go there is never any follow up where it acutaly goes.
brad and angies paid blogger must be still at her shif at mc donalds or she would be on here saying how they have everything and were just jealous.
Truth is were not some of us have pleanty of money and have fun in life.
we feel sorry for there kids and not jealous at all of them they dont get along and dont even maintie a home to live in. Not jealous of thier money or anything els just pitty them.

lol and don't cut off the last part of

my comment either ! , just answer

the question , when was the last time

you donated a single dime to charity ???

......let me guess, NEVER ! , vultures !



Posted by: anon

Ugh! This guy in unbelieveble. He makes millions off his kids every year by selling their pics and now he complains abut the razzies? You are telling the whole world that your baby pics are worth millions of dollars, OBVIOUSLY the razzies will take advantage of this. And please don't act like a victim Brad you LOOOOOOVE PUBLICITY just like your girlfriend.



Posted by: WSC

Brad is right these swarms of scum have ruined LA. Their ranks have been filled by the uneducated, sleezest, illegal immigrants, gang thugs, and violant criminals that have learned how to push a botton and download a photo. And any time Brad or any other celeb gets a million for photos I'm glad and would not care if they kept it or gave it away because it's screws the paps out of money.



Posted by: Paid blogger (above) is sexualy frustrated !

I do alot for chaiety and last time was yesterday when me and friends made gift bascects for the nursing home.
Donateing to chaiety does not automaticly make you a good person expesaliy when you just do it for PR.
Joie pitts shout from the mountain tops what they give so we well lok the other way on what morless scum bags they are.
being pregant is great for the sex life my kid pissed on the dress Im wearing on the red carpet and all the wierd stuff they say. Your calling us vulters but arent you the one who is being avulter by getting paid to say possitve things about people you secertly hate.
You paid blooger is the only one jealous of Joile pitts cuz you are poor and want more of thier money to blog for them. no amunt of money coul dmake me lie to the public for the joie pitts.
someof us have morals here thank you.



Posted by: angies Twins are ugly!

Angie told a friend she can not type so she has her asstaint say what she wants on the phone then she blogs for her. Angie spends alot of time on X-17
beacuse she is her own PR person and is looking for clues as to what peole are sayinga about her and brad and thier ugly kids.



Posted by: Dont Hate its eveil to say that you hATE someone!

Notice how Brad uses the word Hate!
He allwys makes a pint to try and sound
well spoken in interviews but his
guard was down and he sid what he realy thinks. I bet he hates his so called fans too and alot of other things.
Angie has filled sweet Brad with nothing but HATE!
I DONT HATE ANYONE,but I cant stand Joile Pitts!
brad is being a bad expample to his kids when he talks of hate-ing someone.
wow his kids are going to be so messed up! Fun to know Brad truely is a miserable person!!! He just poved it!!

12:41, I would believe it if you had said Brad was on here. He seems so stuck on himself that he probably goes around posting positive stuff and or paying someone to post positive stuff about HIM and ONLY him. He probably likes it when Angelina gets bashed because that takes the heat off of him and his part. DUH!
I also think he pays critics to give his movie good reviews. He is desperate for an Oscar... he will probably get nominated because he has the cash, not the talent.



Posted by: VIRGINIA'S W. BLACK MAN

Brad pitt work in new orleans is honorable.His feelings about paparazzi are understandable.But something about him and angelina just seems so superficial that while it may not be true,a little hypocritical.But every person needs privacy and respect.



Posted by: Anonymous

Yes he is JUSTIFIED in his hatred of the paps. He has the right to make money off his kids pictures but YOU X17 DO NOT.

Really 12:38...you need a serious lesson in spelling.

these "celebrities" make me vomit- why get in the business-and flaunt and hunt for photogs when they are starting out- promoting a movie, book and then get too high and mighty-there are very few movies on the screen worth watching anyway..BAH HUMBUG BRANGELINA



Posted by: Anonymous

Nothing like a bit of hyprocisy to make the world go round, being famous and being hounded seem to go hand in hand. It wouldn't be so bad if the paps weren't so rabid, like a pack of immigrant dogs. They're so intrusive, one would get hacked off. In the fifties and sixties the private life of celebs was in fact private and good job really, now it's the exact opposite.



Posted by: Triple X

Brad doesn't "exploit" anyone. Any money made from approved photos goes to charity. The rest of the photos taken are not solicited by Brad or Angelina. In fact they hardly take their children out in public at all because of the paps. Should the kids be kept at home like prisoners? They deserve to get out once in a while - and no matter where they go there will be PAPS.



Posted by: Paid Blogger is broke and unhapppy

1;10 the paid blogger,, you need a lesson in how to not be so odvoius your a piad blogg for Jolie shittts.
BTWIve read all your post on all the istes and you seem like you are a sad lonely and Bitter person. You well only sart to find hapyyness once you get away from Angie and Brad.
Your not evn wortgh the ssmall amount of money they are paying you. Heres a tip try throwing in a mispelled word here and there it can only make you look smarter.



Posted by: Shilo blind in one eye

Befor the news lady said this couple gives millions to chairty we all knew who she was talking about beacuse news ladys arent alloud to address the Jolie pitts without mentioning they give millions to chairty . Jolie Pitts are all despete to remind us of that and it
is a prerequest for any interview they give. I hear a rumor that Shilo had her eye poked out by Pax and is going to need a glass eye. Its all over the media in New Zealand. Bummer, yest not surpriseing given the kids have no rules no bed times and no school.

Oh please,Brad's the hypocrite. He takes
personnal pictures of his family for W
magazine.He only likes the Paps,if he is
promoting something for himself!



Posted by: herald

Paps must be embarassing many times, but it is also true thay they do promote their images. Yet, Brad and Angelina have a hugh attention and that must be a crazyness for them. Just have to be more patient, that's part of the price of fame...
I don't think he is hypcorite. He just expressed what he felt at that moment, that's all, besides it is understandable to be upset while you are walking with so many children...



Posted by: Anonymous

I wish the Paps would quit taking pictures of them,then Brad would be p.o.
about that.This couple is too full of themselves.BTW,Brad has really aged since he has been with Morticia.



Posted by: Anonymous

and he started the circus.

what did think was gonna happen when he so publicly and obnoxiously jump in a relationship with a women and started carrying around maddox and zahara in such a short amount of time after leaving his wife. not to mention the first photoshoot with W magazine he did.

he made his bed now he's got to sleep in it. even though i think paps in general can go overboard I think if he was less obnoxious and public about it all he would have less of it to deal with

2:09, I am happy with what they pay me.



Posted by: Talk is cheap

Realy, as you would say.
at least you admit you get paid to say nice things about the joile pitts .
They give you 1$ a post and you are happy.



Posted by: Anonymous

Really............he hates the pap's yet they exploit their family at every opportunity. How often do you see Johnny Depp's family? If you really want to avoid the pap's, you can.

For the sake of their family, they could retire and take on humanitarian projects and live a normal life. They certainly have enough money to never work again.

Is it my imagination or are there a lot of really illiterate people commenting on this site? A couple of them are either really stupid or failed their ESL classes. People, learn English before you submit your ignorant statements...please!!

You all do realize that you are reading this (as I am) at a site that posted multiple shots of something in Paris Hilton's NOSE right? The people that run this rag are a joke. I used to love seeing all the pictures of the stars dressed up in the glamour outfits going out for a night on the town. Now they are showing skin imperfections or anything gross. You DO remember Britney's bloody pad right? These people are lowlife, vile, pretty non-talented people. Nothing they post here is quality or eye catching. The goal is to mock and it's quite pitiful.

Go Brad! They are awesome. Oh and to the arse talking about how they are hypocrites. There is a HUGE difference between selling a pro shot for charity and someone taking a picture of a hole in your shoe.



Posted by: mariana

well if they are going to take their pictures any way so better make money with them good for them ...and put your self in their place if someone is taking your pictures all the time no privacy you dont know maybe is a criminal following you ..you will hate them that is just wrong ...



Posted by: Anonymous

its either be famous and have paps....
or......
dont be famous and live a normal life.
comes with the job brad.
get over it!



Posted by: Anonymous

No, $100 per post.



Posted by: Anonymous

I see, when THEY sell their children's pictures to the highest bidder to one of these rags that's O'k or when they have to promote a movie they allow W magazine to publish very private family moments, that's fine and their stupid excuse or is it their rationalization that they give the money to "charity", really their doing "good" their not like all the other publicity whores, even though combined their worth over 100 million dollars, have received over 25 million dollars for pictures of each of their children and last year filed only 6 million dollars in charitable donations, those numbers seem a bit off..... if I rob a bank then give half of the money to charity would that make my robbery seem like less of a crime,..... so if Brad don't like the beast they shouldn't feed it for their own gain then complain when they can't control it.

Posted by: mewithanopinionthatmatters!

Brad wanted to be an actor, he has proved himself as an actor, although I don't care for him. With being a popular actor, comes paparazzi's. It's part of the job Brad! Get over it and get over yourself! You and alot of other celebrities play right into their hands, if you didn't then they would forget about you. But, really think about it Brad, do you really want the pap's to forget about you? If they do, so will your fans!



Posted by: Anonymous

of course he's justified.

paps, and x17 in particular, are nothing more than bottom-feeders - the flotsam and jetsam of society.

two and three decades ago, we didn't have the aggressive situation with the paps that we see now - and no one's forgotten robert redford.

these people don't need this shit.



Posted by: x-17 is greatful for Joile Pittts cuz thier skanks

7;58why are you taking time from your day to lecture us on the morals of X17!
Brad and Angie should go raise thier kids in peace someplace and then he wouldnt have to deal with the paps/
Its thier consant need for attion
is why the paps are even there.
I blogg on Brad but I could not bare to watch the curry interview Brad looked so uncomfortable , and like he had something to hide he was sooo Nervous.
BRad needs to think if he and angie broke up and he is paying child support and each kid gets 50,000 a month wow
even as rich as he is he could go broke.
Mybe thats why he collects art work so he can have something to sell when hes flat busted.



Posted by: Brad puts angies titt with a baby sucking on it on the cover

Its ok for Brad to put Angie;s picture on the cover of a magazine wEHILE SHE IS BREAST FEEDING.
Then when paps just take a picture of them walking he crys like a Baby!
Boo hooo thier taking our picture and saying nasty things about us.
Cry Me a Rviver!



Posted by: No Longer A Brad Fan

It amazes me that he would use the word HATE of the paparazzi, when the paps take pics for the fans to see and adore, his highness, (lowest) Brad Pitt. So is he really saying that he HATE his fans?? What a superficial airhead! Now I know for a fact that he deserves his bimbo, baby mama, Angelina. Don't think for a moment that they do not benefit monetarily from the pics that they exploit of their bastardized family. LEGITIMIZE YOUR CHILDREN, and shut up, you creep! I pray that the studio loses money on your film, then see if you still HATE the paps! You will be begging for someone to take your sorry ass picture! Boo Hoo!



Posted by: justine

he says, he hates the photographers who uses his private life ... but he forgets, he sold the photos of these children just born to newspapers for $ 14 million ... hypocritical...



Posted by: Brad Pitt hater!

God i hate him sooooooooo much! Doesnt mind them when he is promoting a film or when he wants to do an interview for money!!!! So hypocritical!!!! If he doesnt like them going on about his family and he doesnt want their photos taken why go on chat shows and talk about what they do and say? Also when he is doing his "charity" work (attention seeking) he doesnt mind the press being there then does he! God i HATE hime!
