The D’Amelio sisters have been vocal about paparazzi misbehavior

Charlie and Dixie D'Amelio had previously complained about the paparazzi waiting outside their home in January 2021. They addressed the situation in one of the episodes of their podcast, 2 Chix, claiming:

"Kevin, Josh, this is for you guys: Please stop waiting outside my house. Super weird, super uncomfortable, big invasion of privacy, home is supposed to be a safe place, not a place where you have people waiting for you."

They addressed well-known YouTube paparazzi channels Kevin Wong and Pap Galore.

Dixie interviewed a popular paparazzi, Fletcher Greene, from "The Hollywood Fix" on her YouTube channel six months later. In the video, "How The Hollywood Fix Finds Celebrities," Dixie drove around with Greene to scout celebrities on LA streets.

Greene explained that he has a vast database of celebrity license plates and recognizes unique celebrity vehicles. He also acknowledged that paparazzi try to “get the most out of the question” they ask celebrities to make sure the answers can get them enough clicks.

He also explained, “A good question can be the difference between one dollar and thousands.”
