AceShowbiz - Dua Lipa's security guard came under scrutiny after a video emerged showing him forcibly removing an eager fan from the singer's path while she was out with her boyfriend, Callum Turner, in Paris.
As Lipa and Turner exited a car, the fan approached with a raised phone, intending to record the couple. However, before she could reach Lipa, the security guard intervened, pushing her aside and sending her phone flying.
The video has garnered widespread attention, with fans expressing their opinions on social media. Some supported the guard's actions as necessary for Lipa's safety. Those in favor of the guard's actions emphasized the importance of respecting personal space and the potential for harassment when dealing with public figures. Supporters also cited the fan's alleged disregard for boundaries and the potential annoyance of having a phone thrust into their face.
Meanwhile, others questioned the forcefulness of his response. Critics argued that the fan was simply attempting to take a video and that the guard's actions were excessive. Those who criticized the guard suggested that a more measured approach could have been taken. Furthermore, they noted that Lipa did not appear to react to the incident, which some interpreted as a sign of indifference.
Lipa, who has been dating Turner since January, has not publicly commented on the incident. The incident has brought into focus the challenges of balancing personal safety with fan engagement in the context of celebrity culture.
