Scarlett Johansson Slams Paparazzi After Being Chased: 'All Of This Is Perfectly Legal'

Scarlett Johansson stopped at a Hollywood police station on Monday evening (April 8) after being chased by paparazzi while leaving her taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The 34-year-old actress detailed what happened ahead of her police station visit, stating she was followed by “five cars full of men with blacked-out windows who were running red lights and putting other drivers and pedestrians at risk so they could follow me to find out where I was staying and subsequently stalk me and my young daughter for the duration of my stay…All of this is perfectly legal.”

“I felt it was my duty as a concerned citizen who was being pursued dangerously and stalked to go to the local precinct and seek guidance there,” Scarlett, who did not file a police report, added in her statement to USA Today. “Women across the US are stalked, harassed and frightened and a universal law to address stalking must be at the forefront of law enforcement conversations. Until paparazzi are considered by the law for the criminal stalkers they are, it’s just a waiting game before another person gets seriously injured or killed, like Princess Diana.”
