Column: Lisa Rinna is getting sued for posting paparazzi photos of herself. Why?

Actress Lisa Rinna always thought she got along fine with the paparazzi who followed her and her family, hoping to catch them in the unguarded moments that fan magazines crave.

“I’ve always seen it as a very symbiotic relationship,” the soap opera and reality TV actress says. “It was part of the game, if you’re going to be in this business. I’ve been nice, I’ve never fought with them, I’ve never run from them. My kids grew up with them jumping out of the bushes in Malibu. We’ve had a very good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. That’s why this is so shocking to me.”

At some level, this is the price tag of social media and paparazzi converging. In a sense, it’s the cost of doing business if you’re a celebrity and you’re living off promotion of your own image.
