Nicole Richie Lashes Out At X17 Paparazzi In Open Letter

Nicole Richie has been a paparazzi target since she first stepped out in "The Simple Life" back in 2003. But she draws the line at stalking her 2-year-old daughter Harlow and wrote a scathing letter to the photographers at X17, calling them "irresponsible and repulsive."

"THANK YOU so much for posting the video of your employees sitting outside of my daughter's school, because now the entire world can see how creepy and disgusting you are," Richie says in the video.

Richie may be referring to the latest posting about her on October 7th, which showed photographers waiting outside of the toddler's school as her millionaire mama picked her up. But while Richie has been stalked for years, she makes it clear that following kids is not okay.

"You do not get to spend 200 dollars on a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child. These are strangers, grown men, stalking children. You think that's ok?" she asks.

It's not the first time Richie has fought back against the paparazzi. She won a restraining order against three photographers last year, who she blamed for causing a car crash in Beverly Hills and said she was frightened for her and her children's safety.

Richie also threatens to do a background check on the photographers at X17. "If I find out anyone has a suspended, restricted, or invalid license, I will have them thrown in jail before they can pick up the phone and call their lawyers."

"X17, you are irresponsible and repulsive. Consider this a warning," Richie writes.
