She was so excited to turn 18 and she got the worst present…

[officialslytherinxsimp]

she was so happy when she turned 18 u could hear in her voice and when she was talking abt it she sounded disgusted i honestly feel horrible

[raindrops]

The paparazzi disgusts me. There's a difference between doing your job, and violating a human being who has personal rights. Absolutely disgusting. She may have turned 18, but she was still young.

[samijouili]

If you keep the upskirt pics to yourself it's considered illegal and they call you a creep but if you publish them it's legal and they call you a journalist .
Noted

What disgusting human beings. The paparazzi should be illegal. Emma is one of my favorite celebrities, she’s an absolute sweetheart and I feel so bad that she had to go through that.

[AlwaysYR]

She needs to punch the paparazzi like she punched Tom. 😭

[mrcaboosevg]

This is now illegal btw, something else the papers did was have a countdown to her 16th birthday which is the legal age of consent in the UK. The British press are vile

[joshuaking]

I always thought intentional upskirk shots were considered sexual harassment and illegal at any age. That's horrible.

[nxxkxxxh]

What really sucks is the fact that the difference between 1 day and how much it changes the law is absolutely insane. The fact that you are the exact same person and the same mentally but you’re now considered immediately ’legal’ must be terrifying for the young girls that grew up dealing with paparazzi and creeps. I feel so bad for Emma and the fact she had to go through that :(

[JiexihscigeugCjecjev-zymi]

This broke my heart, she DOES NOT DESERVE THIS, poor Emma😭😭😭😭

[HarrySia]

So fucked that only thing stopping them was the law and not their morals

[tikiwikiteapot]

That’s disgusting. How that is even legal is beyond me. Makes me feel sick

[rafiawaseem]

At this point, her bodyguards should be fired. This is disgusting

[khyatikathakur]

Her eyes show how much pain she beared that day

[kyunikoi]

Paparazzi are literally just stalkers. The entire profession should be illegal, and in instances like this, I'd argue jail-time.

[bg]

I'm still confused on how taking up skirt pictures without her consent is legal at all. Feels like that should be illegal for all ages.

[HarryPotterFanHereee]

This is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe people like that would do such a thing to a girl like Emma. She deserves so much more than just hugs from this. She needs a comforting friend that she can trust, her parents to lean on, her favorite pet that she has, and just some of her favorite things in general. Poor girl didn’t deserve any of this :( 💔

[TracyJammeh]

Age should not be a factor. Taking a photograph under a womans skirt should be illegal no matter the age, when, how, or why. That is just dispicable!

[psyfozim]

Let's forget about 18. Even if you're 40, 50 or 60 that should be UNLAWFULLY invasive regardless. And nobody is allowed to take personal action on these paparazzi without consequences but they can somehow harass citizen's to their liking? Something just fundamentally wrong there.

[leximoore]

Her 18th birthday went from her having the happiest experience and being so honored and proud and excited to her simply being disgusted and disappointed and completely upset about the whole ordeal. I really hate this happened to her.

Wtf...how is it legal? Thats straight up sexual assault. The paparazzi should be in jail 7-12 years bcs of that.
