Salma Hayek Wants To Beat A Paparazzo Down

Salma Hayek has supposedly had all she can take from paparazzi clamoring to get pictures of her and her infant daughter, Valentina. Smack them with your wads of money, Salmita:

She says, “I was hounded when I was pregnant. And even more since I’ve had the baby. They are parked outside of your house and they will not move for months. I didn’t leave my house for nearly three months… I’ve gotten hit with a camera before.”

And Hayek has grown increasingly concerned since a February clash with photographers nearly sent her daughter flying to the pavement from her caretaker’s arms.

She recalls, “First I see them attacking me with the camera and the flashes. Now she starts screaming, the baby. Then they push the nanny, she was going to the floor.”

Did anyone else read that in kind of an old-timey movie gangster’s voice? “Now, see, she starts screaming, the baby. Then I let ‘em have it, boys!” No? Ok, fine:

“It was so disturbing. I didn’t know if they wanted to get the picture or they wanted to push the baby and get me crazy. I’m not sure because it was almost - it was really deliberate. It’s a baby.”

They probably thought diamonds and pica fresas would shake out of Valentina’s diaper. The situation does sound pretty sucktastic, though. We wouldn’t blame Salma for pulling out a shank over this sort of thing. Or making all those photographers “take a long vacation.” If you know whatta mean.
