Y'all could be right. I'm not trying to be argumentative. I guess I'm just way too cynical after all I've seen in this case to think she was just out there innocently and the paps happened to find her. Baez was telling everyone that they were going to take first pictures of her and sell them. I don't see why it's out there that this wasn't staged. I do admit that her fear could be real, but she needs lots of money like yesterday. She might have been scared to do it, but her need for money overrode her fear to me at least.
I personally think it's staged because that's exactly how it looks to me in the pics. I've seen pics on TMZ before from celebs who are really trying to 'hide' and this looks nothing like them. Everything is so casual, as if she's just another person walking down the street. This is a person that was confined for 3 years and up until now hasn't had a face seen anywhere. It's a little too convienient to me.
Add to that a number of people, including DOC who have acknowledged that FCA knew about the pics and there you go.
