New candid policy
As you all know, Becca and I were kind of torn on posting candid photos. We enjoyed seeing photos of Amy in her day to day life and felt that as long as she didn’t seem to be bothered by them, it was ok to post them. Well, the recent interview I just posted has changed our minds. In the interview, she seems really uncomfortable with the paparazzi attention:
A photographer climbed a fence once and took pictures of me and my mom having a barbecue. That was awful.
What I’d like to know is who tips the paparazzi that I’m at Target. How do they know when I’m shopping for toilet paper? Fred Segal’s is one thing but at Target? I was really heartbroken when that happened. Shopping at Target is one of the few remaining normal things I do. I love Target.
In light of Amy’s now obvious discomfort, we have decided to enforce a no candids policy at the site. Photos of her arriving for events and outside of studios for talk show appearances will remain. As will photos of Amy on the set of any films she’s working on. Any photos of her shopping, at a restaurant, at the airport, etc. will no longer be posted. All candid photos that were previously posted on the site have been removed.
Becca and I understand that this may disappoint some of our visitors but we are here to pay homage to Amy’s career as an actress. We admire and respect her and would never intentionally do anything to make her feel uncomfortable. I personally feel that it would show a lack of respect for her if we were to continue photos that she finds invasive and discomforting.

Well said. Very good move!

Respect & admire you guys for enforcing this policy, hard as it may be.
I think I do remember those Target photos. Those & the idea that a photographer climbed a fence to take pictures are beyond intrusive.
It is so nice to see that we have two very conscientious individuals running this site. How wonderful it would be if others followed your example! Keep up the great work!!
That is the best decision.
People still know that your websites is the best source. If they want candids, they’ll find them anyway but this new policy now respects Amy’s wishes and as fans thats all we want :)
You’ve done something GREAT. I’m sure that if Amy knew this she would’ve been very happy. Thanks guys I feel good too… Amy deserves it…
Totally agree with this :)
Well done :)
