Fifi Box was photographed by paparazzi as she crouched down by her grandmother’s grave to pay her respects.
Awesomely, the FoxFM radio host has gone on air to express how totally unacceptable that is.
“When you’re in the media and public eye, there’s a certain expectation that you’ll be photographed while you’re living your life and you learn to accept that. I have to say, I cop it on the chin, it’s part of the gig,” she began on air this morning with co-host Dave Thornton.
“But this invasion of privacy is not OK. Loitering around graveyards for pap shots is not OK.
For me, that was crossing the line. And it was invading a private moment at a cemetery, and I think some things are sacred and should be respected.”
But the story doesn’t end there. The shameless photographer hung around after Fifi had moved on:
“After we left the cemetery, one of the photographers walked in, stood on their graves and took a photo of their headstones. I don’t know where or how that person thinks that’s ok. Morally on so many levels, to stand on somebody’s grave – and then publish it in a magazine.”
Fifi had this message to any photographers and the editors who commission their work:
“Moving forward, I’ll never address the fodder in the gossip magazine, but the minute my grandparents and their gravestones are published in a magazine, I am going to address it and I’m going to say – it’s too far, and not ok.”

Why is this "awesome"?
She makes a story out of it, more headlines, more ads sold.
That's not awesome.
Awesome is curing cancer, not a fluff and nonsense entertainer whining about the trashy life she has bought into, which pays her well, but for a short minute she doesn't like.
Nope. Don't buy it. You live your life off the trash and inane, you can't pick and choose between the garbage.
When you sell your story, your life, your soul, and your kids, you give up the right to pick and choose like this.
Next week, Fufi sells her story to a mag about her anguish. If people are stupid enough to make a living this way, and people are stupid enough to buy the mags, listen to the shows, etc. then good luck to them. I can't be expected to show any sympathy though, it's the life they chose.
Whatever.
