Sienna Miller breaks down in tears
Sienna Miller broke down in tears yesterday after her hounding by the paparazzi became too much.
Stopping to fill up her car at a petrol station in Los Angeles, Sienna was surrounded by a swarm of photographers, desperate to get a picture of the actress.

Ever since the news broke that Sienna has been dating married father of four, actor Balthazar Getty, she has been the subject of a media frenzy and branded a 'homewrecker'.

At the Malibu service station, Sienna pleaded with photographers to 'leave me alone'. One paparazzo asked about Getty's wife, to which a fuming Sienna replied: 'Can you leave me alone, I'm trying to get gas and this is really harassment. Please leave me alone.'
She added: 'Please I'm asking you. I can't live like this, please give a little bit of respect.'

According to reports, Sienna fled the scene and drove to Beverly Hills police station to complain about the incessant attention from photographers. The police subsequently arranged for an escort to accompany her to the Four Seasons Hotel.

The 26-year-old has endured plenty of flack from the media since her relationship with Getty became public knowledge. And according to reports in America, Sienna has pleaded with her new love's estranged wife, Rosetta, to issue a statement declaring her marriage was over long before Sienna and Getty began dating.
The pair have been dating since May, but the relationship only became public knowledge last month when they were spotted holidaying on a boat in the Mediterranean.
As well as concerns over how Sienna's personal life will effect her career (one Hollywood insider claims her next movie Hippie Hippie Shake has been postponed over fears the current media onslaught on her will effect its success), we can't help thinking the constant invasion must be effecting Sienna's mental state.

It's probably kind of harsh but I don't have that much sympathy for her. We were all meant to (and I did) feel sorry for her when everything hit the fan with Jude. Now she is doing the same thing to someone else. All I can say is I hope this relationship is worth it to her.

Sorry, but I have to be harsh.
First: police should protect citizens in need. She's an actress and she's in LA. She should know about paps.
Comment by yonah on August 12 11:58
I don't think it's fair that she should be constantly hounded because she fell in love. We can't believe all we read in the papers - what if it was over in his marriage before they started dating? Give her a break.
Comment by Michaela on August 12 11:59
Why can't the press leave this poor woman alone! One minute she is the creme de la creme and everyone is praising her style, beauty and acting talent.
But then in true tabloid style the media tries to bring everything crashing down around her and does nothing but hound and criticise. This happens to so many people in the public eye - surely it is time for someone to start regulating the media before it sends even more young celebrities into meltdown. If regular people in the street started doing this to each other we would have the book thrown at us for harassment!
It isn't fair and why is no one recognising that Mr Getty is also in this relationship - it takes two.
And surely we all know by now that half the speculation we hear from the media is total rubbish?!
As for the stories that her acting career is going down the pan as a result - this can't be blamed on her love life, blame it on the paparazzi and media intrusion that thrusts all this gossip and garbage in our faces every day.
Personally I think Sienna has worked hard to carve herself a career in the fashion and acting industries. Why should her private life prevent her from succeeding? Fame is not pretty.

I agree with Yonah, and I'm afraid I actually am enjoying the fact that she's having a hard time. He's a married father of four. If his marriage was truly 'over' before they started dating, then he would have been divorced. She's done this before. It doesn't sound good really, does it. I feel so sorry for his wife, who has maintained a dignified silence throughout.
Comment by holly on August 12 12:49
She's asking for respect? And just what has she done to earn it...
Comment by Lu on August 12 12:52
To be honest she should have never been with a married man whether Getty & wife was getting on or not she should not have gone there! Serves her right she knows what the paps like to do in this situation. I have no time for people who wrecks marriages.
Comment by amanda on August 12 12:55
She is being hounded because she is a publicity hound.
Comment by Lyn on August 12 12:58
Can't say I have much sympathy for her. Firstly she is an actress and secondly she has brought this onto her self. If she wasn't involved in such a high profile relationship the paps wouldn't be hounding her. If she stopped changing boyfriends so often - it wouldn't be such a big deal. Anyway she gets paid enough to put up with the hassle.
Comment by Susan on August 12 13:05
I think this hounding of someone till they breakdown is terrible, this is exactly what the pap wanted her to do and it's disgusting. It's not great what she's done but no-ones perfect and she must have had feelings for the chappy. I think all countries should ban the papparazi like monaco!
Comment by louise on August 12 13:13
She's happy to have the press attention when its all "isn't she amazing" - it works both ways so live with it. Agree, police shouldn't be wasting time with this, she can pay for her own security if she's that worried. Nobody to blame but herself.
Comment by Sharon on August 12 13:17
Don't like the heat stay out of the kitchen, these celebs make me laugh, they court the press when it suits them but want to be left in peace when not!
Simple, don't run off with a married man.
Comment by Jay on August 12 13:20
Has no one thought that its Getty everyone should be having a go at if they MUST get involved? It was him who was married to his wife, NOT Sienna, it was him who had 4 children with his wife, NOT Sienna.
Are we really saying here that men have no control over themselves and she is some kind of witch?!
I don't think so. I like to think my boyfriend would be 'able to resist her', and if not, then it would be him who hurt me, NOT her.
Comment by Jess on August 12 13:30
Sienna doesn't deserve to be hounded like this. It's her personal choice who she chooses to see in her personal life. The media need to take a step back. Haven't the media learnt any lessons since Princess Diana's death? I feel sorry for Sienna.
Comment by Shushan De Souza on August 12 13:38
I'm sorry but she brought it on herself - if her Balthazar respected his wife, kids, or his new lover - he would have said and done something by now - but he's drowning in all the "glory" of the media in order to appraise his acting career out of this! Who ever had heard of him before Sienna came along? And as for Sienna, come on, you've been here plenty of times before, if you go for men like these, you are going to get burned. What was wrong with Rhys? Why do you keep going after actors if that's how you treat them, it's obvious 2 inflated egos do not go well together, find yourself a nice plumber or builder, he'll idolize you!!!
Comment by Cate on August 12 13:40
Whatever you think about the affair the fact is she's not the one who was married. Why aren't the press hounding Getty in the same way? He's a grown man, nobody forced him to cheat on his wife.
Comment by Lindsay on August 12 14:01
I agree that this is yet another example of the double standards. She was not married and she believed him... so if anyone should be hounded and vilified its him but quite honestly marriages break up and people move on and is it not a little foolish to be making such a public furore over what should be a private failing. Do we really care... no, so by us all talking about it and reading about it we just feed the paparazzi... hang on a minute just what am I doing...
Comment by lesley on August 12 14:31
Miss Miller deserves all she gets, she broke up the marriage, not because of what I read in the papers but what I saw with my own eyes. Mr and Mrs Getty together at the opening night of the LA antiques show on the 23RD OF APRIL 2008, IN MAY SHE STARTED AFFAIR WITH GETTY. No 6 months on friends sofa. If you make a mistake don't lie about it in the press. I blame Mr Getty as well, but she knew he was married, now take the consequences.
Comment by karin ralph on August 12 14:33
The thing is no one knows what the deal is yet - whether he was cheating on his wife, or not, whether Sienna believed he was single, or not. Yes, she's an actress and yes, she's in LA, but the girl surely has a right to have SOME kind of private life. it's not like she's courting publicity by going to fill up her car.
Comment by Ellie O'Mahoney, Acting Associate Features Editor, marie claire on August 12 14:39
she bores me, I'm fed up of reading about her to be honest with you. This is probably another publicity stunt by her anyways, she courts the media then cries like a baby when they take her picture - bore off!! She's a rubbish actress anyways! Shes only famous cos of being with Jude Law previously...and he's also another rubbish actor!
Comment by ccc on August 12 14:39
I doubt that Sienna's in love. She doesn't know the meaning of the word, as she's in love with a different guy every five minutes. I've no sympathy for her. She's as bad as the nanny who cheated with Jude.
Comment by Caz on August 12 15:25
She deserves to suffer the repercussions of her latest conquest!! Has she forgtten how she felt when Jude slept with the Nanny? Getty's poor wife must be feeling 10 times worse. She should have stepped away at the first mention of a young baby and if Getty did leave his wife then surely she could have waited 6 months before she pounced.
Comment by Angie Amos on August 12 16:32
'please give a little respect'.....WTF???
even though BG claims to have separated from his wife, it's hardly the done thing to wine & dine all over LA given the circumstances. and an escort to the Four Seasons....poor thing. i love that a site recently warned SM to 'get her bulldozer of a v*gina' out of Hollywood. Quite apt.....
Comment by petra on August 12 17:15
Who cares? She's a Z list celeb who can't act for toffee.
Let's face it she says she's in love and he just so happens to be a millionaire. Hey wouldn't we all be.
She's a rubbish actor and everyone else she's dated has been also.
Comment by Sans on August 12 18:14
Perhaps Sienna should have thought about it before getting involved with this guy, but I must admit the paparazzi take it too far a lot of the time, I couldn't cope with being followed like that!
Comment by Candice on August 12 18:31
This really angers me - she is SINGLE, he is married. Why does nobody give men the responsibility of keeping their trousers on. You can't choose who you fall in love with, it was up to him if he was so in love and such a family man to be faithful to his wife. She can do what she wants.
Comment by Carrie on August 12 19:35
OMG People leave the poor girl alone the paparazzi are just the worst of all they have the worst mean jobs! If they continue she is gonna turn into a wreck just like what they did to Britney and Amy Winehouse! Besides us readers we don't care about what relationships she has or what any celeb does WHO CARES....it just disturbs us!
Comment by Dana on August 12 20:49
Courts publicity by cavorting semi naked on holiday with married man - and doesn't complain when she's photographed, but when it interrupts her day, then she starts whining? This woman is beyond belief - she should get real and maybe start to forge a career she can be remembered for, rather than a reputation for being a rubbish actress and just a bit trashy.
Comment by Rona on August 13 12:15
This goes for sienna as well as for the paparazzi;
treat others as you would like to be treated!
Although she's single she should have waited until he was also.... And the paparazzi do take it to far, but that's because we keep reading stuff like this...
