Meryl Streep Lashes Out at Celeb Moms Like J-Lo
Meryl Streep is sounding off on stars who sell the rights to their baby’s photos. She says she’s “appalled whenever she hears about a star bargaining for media cash over baby photos - even if the cash is for charity.”
She believes that when you’re a star you “lose your right to privacy” and “if you promote your children, then they lose their rights.”
Uh… Meryl? Here’s the thing: Many of these stars AREN’T promoting their children. They’re just trying to live. But whenever they walk out of their house their kid gets a price on its head by paparazzi that try and snap a shot of it. So their trying to avoid this by just selling the rights. Having a photog come to their house, snap some shots, and take the paparazzi out of the game.
Get it?
I have a lot of respect for Meryl’s acting, but I’m not so sure she truly understands how Hollywood has changed since she had her own kids.

hmm i think she really knows all about it…
Her children are in the age now, where they could be photographed drunk etc. but they aren’t
So why aren’t they? Because she really managed to make a line between private and career.
I also think that it depends where you are living. It is harder if you live in LA i think than in N.Y where she lives.
there were always paparazzis also 20 years ago, when she had her children, but she managed!!!

Britta Hi. You make a great point about living in NY vs. LA. The photogs are a different breed in LA. Also, paparazzi is MUCH DIFFERENT than when Meryl was raising her children. It’s a different “game” so to speak, and much more aggresive.
