George Clooney Promises Legal Action Over Paparazzi Photos Of Infants

George Clooney is firing back after photos of his twin babies with his wife, Amal, appeared on the cover of France’s Voici magazine without his consent. Clooney released a statement to Deadline via his publicist that those responsible for the photos “will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

“Over the last week photographers from Voici magazine scaled our fence, climbed our tree and illegally took pictures of our infants inside our home, Clooney said in the statement. “Make no mistake the photographers, the agency and the magazine will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The safety of our children demands it.”

The photos show the parents holding their one-and-a-half month old babies at the actor’s Lake Como estate in Italy.
