Oscar winner Halle Berry has accused the paparazzi of forcing her off the
road while she was driving in Hollywood - two days after announcing she
was pregnant.
The actress reveals she suddenly became a target after telling the
world she was expecting her first child, but the army of photographers
that started following her everywhere overstepped the mark when they
caused her to crash into a wall.
She says, "I got into a car accident because the paparazzi chased
me."
Berry was furious when the snappers stuck around after the accident to
get photographs of her car being towed away - and then lied about the
crash, so publications would print the pictures.
She fumes, "They said, 'Oh, Halle Berry's car is being towed
because she was illegally parked.' No! It was crashed because the
paparazzi chased me into a wall.
"There I was stuck with my crashed-up car wondering if this
somehow impacted my pregnancy and feeling totally helpless and violated.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, I hope this jolt and this bang hasn't done
anything to me internally.'"
