The 16-year-old went to Gjelina in Venice, CA with some friends. The photog got the pic as Malia walked out and then sent it to the AKM-GSI agency to sell. The agency posted the pic on its website for media outlets to purchase, but several hours later The First Lady's Office called AKM-GSI and asked them to please take the pics off the website and delete them from their files.
We're told Michelle Obama's people told the agency they had promises from various media outlets not to photograph the 2 girls when they were not in the presence of their father.
AKM-GSI then agreed, sending an email to the media with the subject, "URGENT SET KILL NOTICE."
The text reads, "Please delete the set of Malia Obama from your archive. The set was sent around earlier today. We cannot distribute this set."
Now here's what's interesting. Malia has been in L.A. over the last few weeks, doing an internship on Halle Berry's TV show for part of the time. Then she showed up at a famous restaurant -- Secret Service in tow -- with photogs all over the place.
So is this a case of the President and First Lady taking precautionary action, or is this a concerned famous mom and dad flexing their muscles?
I understand the President and First Lady's concern but when in LA, and famous, expect paparazzi. There's no controlling them. Anyone famous shouldn't expect privacy in tinsel town. Just make sure you 're on your best behavior and don't allow these bozos to get an embarrassing photo. I think the mainstream press; however, is quite respectful of the First Family's privacy.
I'm happy Michelle did this. It's important to keep privacy, there's so many killers and Obama haters out there that they're willing to do something mean to his daughters.
Good job Michelle !!!
