Melbourne, Dec 14 (ANI): Aussie actress Nicole Kidman has been accused by celebrity photographer Jamie Fawcett of playing Machiavellian games after claiming she quit Sydney because of the paparazzi.
Fawcett told the Macquarie Radio Network today that it was categorically not true that the paparazzi shadow Kidman’s every move when she comes back to Australia.
In an interview with Ray Hadley’s replacement Ben Fordham on 2GB, Fawcett said that if she does not want to be photographed she should change professions and become a butcher.
“I don’t have a personal vendetta against Nicole Kidman,” News.com.au quoted him as saying.
“These are Machiavellian games that are being played and they are just not right.
“If she doesn’t want to be photographed she should change her profession and become a butcher,” he stated.
While Fawcett admitted there is always a feeding frenzy when international stars come to town, he said Kidman will have you believe one thing and then do another.
He referred to her comments after having Sunday Rose where she said she would be taking a break from acting, before she was back in front of the camera just weeks later after giving birth.
“She’s done this before…right now she’s got something to promote and she’s playing games with the media,” he said.
The Sydney freelance photographer’s comments come as Kidman confirmed she has quit Sydney for good, driven out by relentless paparazzi.
Kidman claims Sydney has become unliveable because of the attention of photographers who shadow her every move.
“It makes certain cities impossible to live in. Like Sydney, it makes it impossible for us to live there,” she had been quoted as telling The Sunday Telegraph in London.
“We certainly don’t get that treatment in Tennessee. But it goes with the territory. It’s just, we have to be careful, just to maintain some sort of semblance of a normal life for our child,” she had stated.
Since her marriage to singer Keith Urban and the birth of daughter Sunday Rose, the Oscar-winning actress has been restructuring her life to protect her family’s privacy.
In May Kidman sold her Darling Point home for a 7 million dollar discount on its 20 million dollars asking price.
The mansion was the scene of a famous run-in with Fawcett who was found by a judge to have placed a listening bug outside her home. (ANI)
