Motherhood suits Pink well. She posted a heartfelt letter on her website Thursday telling the world that she’s already fallen deep in love with her new baby girl, Willow. In the letter, she also asks her fans to not look at magazines or websites with unauthorized pics of her baby.
Here is some excerpts from her love letter (written with hubbie Carey Hart):
“We are absolutely blissed out in love over here! To our fans and friends all over the world, thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes through this time in our life! I finally found out what love really means.”
But don’t expect all this gushing to change her music. “Don’t worry, I’m not writing an album full of sappy lullabies,” she wrote. “Not yet, anyways?”
Below are excerpts of her letter about paparazzi pics of celeb babies, including Pink’s. I must say I 100% agree with Pink and have written several articles about the privacy rights of children. That is why you will not find a single unauthorized paparazzi picture of a celebrity baby on CelebMagnet.
Here are excerpts of what Pink has to say:
“Due to the unsettling, surprisingly aggressive and unsafe measures that the paparazzi seem to be willing to go to in order to secure that ‘first shot’ of our daughter–stalking us, chasing us in cars and sitting outside of our home all day and all night, as new parents Carey and I decided that we would release personal photos of our Willow, and donate all of the money to charity…
Like any parents, we believe our little girl deserves the right to have privacy and be protected, but unfortunately, this media climate doesn’t seem to provide for that… It’s one thing to harass and stalk us, the adults, the celebrity that signed up for this life, but children should be protected and safe. There should be a clear distinction between us. In EVERY other country that I recall, children’s faces are blurred out in magazine photos. Why is USA the only country that continues to financially incentivize intrusive paparazzi behavior to capitalize on photos of babies, infants and children? Why are celebrities/public figures having to seek restraining orders to keep strange grown men with still and video cameras from sitting perched outside of their children’s pre-schools and elementary schools, preying on little innocent kids?
…To anyone out there that buys a magazine, or goes onto a website to look at pictures of other people’s children, may you at least think for a second about what you may inadvertently be supporting… So when you see our middle fingers up in all of our pictures, now you know the motivation. It’s all we can do to stop images of a newborn baby from being printed without our consent. Can you imagine a world where they would blur out our middle finger to protect a “consumer” over blurring out an innocent child to protect their integrity and privacy?”
The letter ends with a little bit of new parent humor: “Baby poop really isn’t as bad as all the guys out there think. Careys’ already been pooed on, and he’s still breathing. Ahhhhh, ain’t love grand?”
