In recent years, there have been many incidents such as "paparazzi following a certain king and being beaten up", "famous director's house being exposed and cursing reporters" and other incidents that have caused conflicts between celebrities in the entertainment industry and the news media due to invasion of personal privacy. few. When people have long said goodbye to the scandal of celebrity privacy leaks that caused a lot of controversy in 2008. The successive similar news events have once again triggered the press and legal circles to think about the privacy rights of public figures. From the perspective of protecting the public's right to know, the media should report news events accurately and timely, so that the value of news can be truly reflected. In many cases, news events involving personal privacy require that a lot of information cannot be reported. However, due to the popularity that public figures enjoy, they will definitely become the focus of media and public attention. Out of curiosity and desire for snooping, the privacy of public figures has become the object of endless exploration by the outside world.

The "See You on Monday" scandal that exposed Wen Zhang's extramarital affair is still going on. While Wen Wen admitted his mistake, he also expressed great anger to Nandu Entertainment Weekly, the media outlet that broke the news, saying, "I only have one life and will stay with you to the end." . Many people also believe that Nandu Entertainment Weekly has gone too far.

Compared with ordinary citizens, the characteristics of public figures’ privacy rights are:

1. Public interest. Because of their special social status and influence, public figures' lives and work have received widespread attention and interest.

2. Relevance to public interests. Since public figures have wide social visibility and certain social influence, the work, life, words and deeds of public figures are closely related to the interests of the public, and even constitute an important part of the interests of the public.

3 Limitations of legal protection. Where there are rights, there are obligations, and when there are powers, there are limitations. As a special group in society, public figures have more power and status, are also restricted in the exercise of their rights, and enjoy a smaller scope of legal protection in terms of privacy rights than ordinary citizens. When privacy rights conflict with public interests, the legal balance will tilt toward public interests.

4. Conflict with the right to know.

So we should not blindly condemn celebrities, because they are also victims. Do you think it makes sense?
