In our vainest of thoughts, the idea of being followed by a barrage of photographers sounds like the life. But for the rich and famous who live this reality, it ain’t always pretty. Paparazzi make our Instagram profiles look like child’s play, as they've become increasingly more aggressive to snap celebrity candids. Unfortunately for them, it isn’t always well-received. Check out these 10 stars who've rebelled against the paps.
1. Kanye West
It's no secret that Mr. West is easily annoyed, and the paparazzi have felt the rapper’s wrath on more than one occasion. From flipping the bird to onstage rants to straight-up assault, Kanye’s relationship with street photogs has been anything but amicable. He even recently requested that they “don’t ever talk” to him. Reasonable enough.

Kim K. is no stranger to the camera; but her moth-to-flame history with the paparazzi is no romantic tale. The reality star recently took to Twitter to denounce the paps after sharing that she had been threatened for refusing to allow shots of her in her last month of pregnancy. Going toe-to-toe with paps AND a Twitter rant? Insert "Yeezy taught her" joke.
3. Halle Berry
Shutterbugs at the LAX airport saw a different side of the usually gracious Halle Berry a couple months ago. After attempting to capture photos of her daughter Nahla, photogs got a mouthful from the actress as she screamed “what’s wrong with you people.” She even had to restrain her hot-headed boyfriend Olivier Martinez from assaulting a paparazzo in his path. Things get ugly when children are involved.Photo Credit: Global Grind
4. Justin Bieber
Paparazzi will do just about anything to snap a shot of the Biebs; one photographer was even tragically killed in traffic. But the newly crowned bad boy isn’t taking their overzealous tactics lying down. In a seemingly all-out war against the paps, Justin Bieber has scuffled, made violent threats as well as allegedly stolen equipment. He was also accused of hitting one with his Ferrari.Photo Credit: HuffingtonPost
5. Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin calls the paparazzi the “illegitimate press” who have “made an appointment with me that I wasn’t aware of.” Unfortunately for these photographers, if you don’t make the actor’s day planner, things can get ugly. During an unscheduled New York run-in, Baldwin informed one photog that he would like to choke him to death, and called another one a “coon” and a “crackhead.” Bet they wished they were penciled in that day.Photo Credit: ABC News
6. Chris Brown
Some celebs will do anything to try and get away from the paparazzi; Chris Brown even crashed his Porsche during an escape attempt. The singer is another celeb with a few shutterbug incidents under his belt, but it seems he’s found a new (legal) way to disrespect the paps. He was captured earlier this year removing his shirt and grabbing his crotch for a candid that screams “bite me.”

7. Lindsay Lohan
The paparazzi may be the sole reason why any of us know about Lindsay Lohan’s troubles, and the actress calls it all a conspiracy. During one of many L.A. incidents, LiLo accused club bouncers of plotting with photogs to make her appear “distraught and a mess” by pushing her to the ground. Those crafty paps.Photo Credit: Firstclassfashionista
8. Rihanna
RiRi is cool with the paparazzi until they ask for free concert tickets. Things got real in Hollywood when one photographer got a little too comfy with the singer and requested a complimentary come-up. Her response: “Fuck all of y’all! Y’all motherfuckers better pay. Y’all make enough money off of me, bitches! Talking about free tickets, free tickets these nuts!” Just jokes...kind of.

9. Mike Tyson
One paparazzo has surely thought twice about snapping shots of Mike Tyson since 2009. In an attempt to take photos of Iron Mike with his wife, the photographer was put in check by the boxer after hitting his 10-month old daughter’s stroller. After being knocked to the ground, the pap suffered a head injury. No one threatens The Champ’s family and gets away with it.Photo Credit: Obsessed
