Mary-Kate Olsen Driven Off The Road By Paparazzi

Mary-Kate Olsen attends a cocktail reception celebrating the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival Program at the W Hotel and Residences on Tuesday (March 23) in Los Angeles.

Last week at the Burberry event, the 22-year-old Olsen twin told me that even though she’s a celebrity, the paparazzi don’t have the right to invade her personal space.

“That’s a lame excuse,” MK told JustJared.com. “I’ve been in the business since I was 6-months-old. I’m 5-feet tall, it’s invasive. Paparazzi jump my fence [in Los Angeles] and it’s scary!”

She even shared a story about being driven off the highway by paparazzi in L.A. “It was never written about,” MK confessed. “But it’s dangerous when cars are following you so closely!”

MK also told me that prefers New York over L.A. She said, “I made the switch emotionally to NYC a year ago. I just love it here better. I’ve been going back and forth every weekend, though.”
