My stance on the pics and why I’m not posting them   34 comments

This has been a harsh past few days for my conscience and each time new pap pics come out I’m always asking myself do I post them or not? I said this earlier, I figure if I post them then the pap sites won’t be getting the hits. But the latest batch of pics… I just can’t do it guys. I can’t post them. They are way to invasive. Rooftop paps? Filming people while they’re driving? They are jeopardizing the security of both Rob and Kristen. This is just way too much. What are they going to do next? I’m scared to think about it…. I thought NYC was bad but it seems like LA is ever worse.

So, I had a decision to make and I’m going with my heart on this one. I don’t care if everyone else is posting them, I’m going with what I think is right. I won’t back down now. No pics. I’ll give you this one though.

  1. I completely agree with you. The rooftop pics, and the X-17 video were just too much. It’s all too much, really. They are people, just like we are. It’s a shame they can’t even eat, or do anything else for that matter, in peace.

  2. I am in 100% agreement with you.
    Who cares if he is with Kstew or not.. lets leave they guy alone.
    He deserves his privacy
    The paps are way out of control and I fear for Robs safety

  3. I love this one. This one makes me smile and happy. This one is what we should want to see. I am through with pap pics. They make me sick to my stomach and make me think about crap I shouldn’t care about. No one needs to know that much stuff about anyone. It is killing my Rob love and that I WILL NOT ALLOW.

    • I know what you mean. Especially that X17 video. It just made me sick. I don’t care who he’s with. I don’t care what he’s eating. I just like to see him smile.

      • I agree…..apart from the safety aspect he’s never smiling in these pictures and I only want to see a happy Rob.

  4. 🙂 we will still love u FP! and i even love you more for ur STANCE!!

  5. Totally agree! It just seems to keep getting worse and I’m terrified to think at what point will it end?

    Kudos to your for standing your ground!

    • It is a scary thought, isn’t it? I can’t help but think about Princess Diana, back in 1997. It makes me wonder if these paps even have a conscience. My bet is that they don’t.

  6. FP,

    I completely agree with you on this one and applaud your decision. Those pics today were just over the line and you’re right, they are jeopardizing everyone’s safety. It truly scares me to think what’s next…

    You owe no one an apology, who wouldn’t rather look at happy, smiling Rob above than Rob and company being photographed without their knowledge.

  7. I love you FP. You (and Just Christy) already know my stance on this (lordy sorry about that rant today – but you know where I’m coming from). I love this pic – and this is how we want to see Rob not hunted down like an animal on a fox hunt.

  8. I LOVE YOU and your videos are FAB . . . but, it seems that you are being a little hypocritical? Don’t paste this, but paste that, i’m better than this, but i’ll comment ont that. Hey dear, youhave a whole blog dedicated to Rob and everything he says and does. OWN UP TO your stalker ways honey!

  9. Well said!! You should not have to justify your decisions to anyone!! Everyone understands the RP attraction he is what I like to call “flawed perfection” and we all want a glimpse of his life, we all get so much enjoyment looking at pictures of him… but at what price? He should not be put at risk so some immoral pap can make some $$. His sanity should not be taken from him so that we can oggle over photos… I went to the RM set and yes I got a picture with him, bit never once did I shout his name, disobey PA orders or invade his space without permission.. Why can’t others do the same? He is very sweet and very gracious, but on HIS terms, as it should be!! Yes I am going to Vancouver and yes I hope to meet him again, but like before, it’s HIS call and only on HIS terms!! So as we all enjoy the beautiful photos out there, think about how they were acquired and use your judgement about those that were obviously snapped against his will!! Keep up the awesome work Just FP, you rock!!!

  10. AGREED!!! All this does is feed greed of more information, more pictures, more intrustion. It isn’t any good for us either, it feeds a nasty part of our souls to almost quote Rob about the internet. I think it is interesting and telling that I am not the only one who literally wanted to vomit from this mess the last few days, especially today, and if people are right and the studios and agents are leading this charade than Rob and Kris need to rethink how worth it all of this is. We of course don’t really have a clue what they really know or feel about it, other than I know Rob (and Kris of course) must be feeling enormous pressure. God bless you FP and all the fans who are thinking with their hearts. Love you R & K.

  11. Thank you so much. I completely agree with you. I was HORRIFIED when I saw the video of the paps chasing Kristen-I didn’t even watch the whole thing. I honestly wanted to cry for them!!! But to see the roof top pictures; it was shocking. How much can you invade someone’s privacy before it becomes illegal? I feel like we are partially responsible- the more we want to know about them the more any pics of them will bring $$$. I am a HUGE fan of the Twilight Saga-and I simply adore the entire cast. But this is 100 percent out of hand.

  12. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who thinks this is going way too far. Thank you for the support and the great messages everyone.

  13. THANK YOU for the sanity.

  14. I agree with you 100%, and I appreciate what you did even more than. Everyone is right, Robert is a human being just like us, and I know, I wouldn’t want my business out there for everyone to see. Some people think that if you are in the public eye you are, “fair game.” This is sad to me. As far as this X-17 thing, I never heard about it, and I don’t care.

    I love his smile, and that’s what I want to see.

    So thanks for doing what you did!

  16. I have found my way to this site and enjoy it more because of thoughtful choices like this. It is increasingly difficult to find Rob sites that avoid stalker (and gossip!) material and yet keep on top of news. I feel your dilemma over whether posts will lessen or increase direct hits to pap sites, and have a lot of respect for the fact that you are thinking about it and for the choices you have been making about both stalker and gossip stuff. Your decisions haven’t been unpopular with me.

  17. NEVER apologize for taking a stand, it shows integrity. Well done! :-). I love pics like you posted now though happy smiling and well sometimes very goofy Rob hehe. Loved the X17online video spoof though!! LOL

  18. FP thank you for not posting the pics i personally have no desire to see them and i think it’s just plain insane the way the paps are treating rob and kristen and disgusting that they can get away with it.i have been doing my usual rob site trawl this morning and to honest it just makes me sick the amount of sites that have posted the pics and vid,why if you care about his safety and his sanity why endorse such behaviour. it is just appaling and i think it’s about time someone stepped in to stop the paps.sienna miller successfully won a court case to get an injunction taken out on the paps and now they have to leave her alone maybe someone could suggest this to rob.

  19. totally agree. and I wrote similar comments on twitter earlier. wish i hadnt seen the x17 video. once was too many. it was sick. and the rooftop pics.. major invasion of privacy, of Rob, Kristen, Marcus and the other girl. now Marcus gets dragged into this madness aswell. This has gone too far now and something has to stop. the line that shouldnt be crossed, has been crossed.

    well done. so many ‘fan’ sites are posting the video/pics. But you are a true fan who cares about Robs wellbeing, not a selfish crazie.

    @AmyM same here.

  20. thank you for not caving and posting crap like the pap video just to get more hits on your blog. And please, never ever apologize for having a concious!

  21. I agree and it makes me proud to be twi*rob fan when fans like you take a stance like this. You have my support.

  22. This site has a new supporter, me! As marimotchi said, thanks for the sanity!

  24. i love that you are taking a stance on those photos. they are disgusting and creepy. i looked at them almost cried about them. how in the world did they get them. i hope rob will take legal action same with kristen. if what i hear that sienna miller took legal action with an injuction so can rpattz and kstew. they don’t deserve to be treated like that. they are human like you and i. i told myself last night that for know on i will not even look at pap photos. i deleted the ones on my mac. fp you dont’ have to apolgize for having a conscience. i just wish some of the other blogs didn’t post them even if the robsten or nonsten. it is just disgracefull and disgusting that paps will do anything for a fking pic of them having lunch with peeps of theirs.

  25. Well done for taking a stand, it takes a strong person to do that – especially in such a big fandom like the Twilight fandom.
