A HEAVILY pregnant Naomi Watts has lashed out at photographers after being hounded by the paparazzi in the US.
The Australian actor and her friend Rebecca Rigg, the wife of Australian actor Simon Baker, were followed by a group of photographers during a daytime excursion in Los Angeles.
The two women repeatedly asked the photographers to leave them alone, before turning on one of the men.
After Rigg tried to slap a camera out of his hands, Watts angrily confronted the photographer.
"What do you think you`re doing to us?,`` Watts yelled.
"What the f**k do you think you`re doing?.
"Just leave us alone.``
She then tried to grab a camera out of another photographer`s hands, before disappearing inside a building.
Footage of the incident was posted on celebrity website, X17online.com.
It is not Watts` first run-in with the paparazzi.
Last year Watts and her partner Liev Schreiber clashed with photographers while lunching in Malibu with their newborn son Alexander.
Mr Schreiber shoved one male photographer, swore at others and chased two down a busy road after paparazzi surrounded, taunted and threatened them.
Famous or not everyone deserves a bit of private space. When someone is pregnant or with children the amount of privacy should be even greater.
