Not trying to make it complicated. But being that KC needs money and TMZ has just happened to get lucky by getting photos of the A's on their vacation and swimmnig with the dolphins...I am going to guess they have a "in" on getting these shots. I am going to even go one step further and say they have PAID for these shots. Sure, the photographer was set outside the parking lot. But I wonder how he KNEW she would be there? I would be willing to bet he received a phone call and told where she would be and how long he would have to get a few photos. Whether KC knew or not, who knows? But I am willing to bet she is profiting off of these photos or someone in the family is.
It is not unheard of for the paparazzi to receive calls from the "celebrity" themself. I know Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears did it when they wanted to alert the media of something.
Oh I agree with you! TMZ definately paid someone for the A's vacay pics, and someone else for these KC pics.
I believe TMZ paid Splash News Online for the KC pics. At least Splash News was able to keep their photo credit. IDK who Splash News Onlie paid. I am guessing they have paparazzi contacts in every state, though. I am wondering if Splash are the same as those who hit the A's up at Home Depot not too long ago...I will check. ETA... seems that
"splashblogger" was involved in the Home Depot episode with A's.
Anyway... I think that the paparazzi tracked her down. Seems more likely than the staged scenario of having anyone on her team alert paparazzi to her.
I don't think it was that difficult to spot her. I would have recognized her on the street. Someone could have spotted her on her daily walks. Maybe a local barista who served KC her buckeye caramel macchiato tipped the paparazzi off?
As soon as she was released, I read every where that KC would not be able to hide long, that she would be recognized across the country, and we'd see these type of pics crop up soon. I saw this as an expectation of the very thing that seems to have happened. She was spotted. Someone made some money. That's how it usually works.
The paparazzi are certainly alerted in cases of celebrity, but those celebrities are not getting paid for the fake candid pics, as far as I know. I don't really equate KC to PH or BS. I just don't see any evidence for anything staged....that's only my lonely opinion though
According to a Mark NeJame tweet, Steve Helling from People is thinking it was staged, and 50K was earned. We may only know for sure if a pap comes forward.
If the pics were staged and KC earned the bucks, we will never know as that would certainly complicate her finances.
