The well known singer Kanye West, as most of us have heard, was arrested last week. Apparently the paps were invading his privacy. This all went down at LAX aiport. He reportedly knocked a camera out of a photographers hand and broke it and he has been charged with vandalism.
Do stars these days think that they are so above everyone else that they can get away with anything?
I am sure his PR representative is doing some serious damage control. I was just doing some pondering about how different the areas of PR can be! One PR person may be planning parties while another is doing damage control for an organization or in this case Kanye.

If the reports are true, then I don't blame Kanye in the slightest. Yes, it's a bit childish to lash out and break another person's property, but we have to remember he is constantly being followed with a camera(s).
Think about it like this: you know when you're enjoying a great beach vacay and your dad pulls out the video camera to get (what he thinks) is a precious memory of his little girl sunbathing and spending time with her fam, but all you can think about is "Oh my god, I'm not wearing any make-up, I'm sunburned, and I'm sweaty". Now amp that up to every single time you step into the public eye. Gash to say the least.
Is what he did wrong? Sure. Is he really that out of line given the circumstances? Everyone has their limit.
To top it off: I love how PR is such a broad field. You can be passionate for any industry and find a job that allows you to be involved within it. Awesome.
My thoughts and sympathies are with Kanye's rep tonight.
I agree with Amanda. I would have liked to have seen you tie this more to WHY this is a public relations problem.
