Rachel Griffiths’ b-day pap drama
Rachel shares post birth pap chase!

If you think you had it tough having the world and his wife taking pics straight after your birth, spare a thought for Brothers and Sisters star, Rachel Griffiths, who had to dodge the waiting paps as she left hospital with newborn daughter, Clementine Grace.

“They wheel you out, and no woman should be photographed for weeks, it’s not right, it’s inhumane, and all these paparazzi jump out of the car park,” the new mum recalls.  “There I am holding my newborn baby, in my dressing gown, with my hair unwashed from the birth. It was awful!”

Admitting she found the whole thing pretty traumatic, 41 – year – old Rachel even checked into hospital under a false name to avoid the press.
