If someone were to tell you that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn't a fan of the paparazzi, you probably wouldn't be too surprised, would you? Well, confirmation of Rodgers' disdain for the paparazzi officially came out this week after he unloaded on everyone for doubting the validity of his marriage in a four-minute rant on "The Pat McAfee Show" this past Tuesday.
During that rant, Rodgers specifically called out the paparazzi for trying to get pictures of him and his new wife. Rodgers accused the paparazzi of trying to snap photos of him while taking walks on the beach and even talked about how he took great joy in flipping them off.
"The problem is, I was walking on the beach with [my friend] Mike the other day - and [my dog] Apollo, of course - and I was like: 'Yo, bro, f***ing paparazzi are probably up there," Rodgers said. "Look, there's a guy right there!" We flipped him off. I thought it'd be a great photo."
The photo evidence of that moment has been released, and I've got to say, it's pretty spectacular. Rodgers can be seen on the beach in a white tank top, bluish gray swim trunks, and a baseball cap, pointing in one photo and then flipping the bird in another.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers goes off on paparazzi off while strolling on the beach
This isn't exactly a surprise given Rodgers' personality. Sure, the guy definitely likes to be in the spotlight more than he lets on, but no one is shocked about him flipping the bird to the paparazzi.
While Rodgers didn't take kindly to people thinking his marriage might be a hoax, the whole situation has been a tad strange. It's one thing for a person not to want to be in the public eye, but for us not to have even seen a photo of Rodgers' new wife feels odd.
The paparazzi's job is to stalk celebrities and public figures and to get photos of them in their everyday lives.
Snapping a pic of Rodgers' wife would be a surefire way to get a massive paycheck, so until a photo of the two of them together surfaces, Rodgers should keep expecting paparazzi to pop up, and they should keep expecting him to flip them the bird.
