Witnesses reported that the photographers grew overly aggressive in their attempts to capture images of her, leading to intervention by her security personnel who stepped in to shield her.
Shaken by the aggressive encounter, Carpenter quickly entered the studio. She later addressed the incident on her social media, emphasizing her right to personal safety and expressing gratitude to her security team for protecting her during the ordeal. Carpenter highlighted the pressure of being in the public eye and called for more respect and decency from the paparazzi.
