Paparazzo - Reality Check is a Strangers and Freaks mission in Grand Theft Auto V given by Beverly Felton to protagonist Franklin Clinton.
Description[]
After taking pictures of Poppy Mitchell and Princess Georgina, Franklin confronts Beverly in front of The Generic Hotel in West Vinewood to collect his money after a few in-game hours. However, Beverly is already filming his reality show and is no longer interested in the photos Franklin got for him and even refuses to acknowledge Franklin's work, let alone pay Franklin. Franklin gets angry in response, but Beverly simply tries to shoo Franklin away so Beverly can continue making his show.
After the cutscene ends, the player has the choice to kill Beverly or spare him. The mission ends once Franklin kills Beverly or Franklin leaves the scene.
Mission Objectives[]
- Kill or spare Beverly.
Gold Medal Objectives[]
- Explosive Action! - Kill Beverly and his crew with one shot
- Franklin should use any kind of explosive to get all of them at the same time. Be careful, as some explosives will give the targets enough time to run away from them, avoiding the blast radius. A rocket launcher, homing launcher, and sticky bomb will perform the task flawlessly.
Possible Deaths[]
- Beverly Felton - Can be killed by Franklin Clinton for betraying him by not giving the money he owed him.
- Beverly Felton's crew - Can be killed by Franklin Clinton in addition.

Trivia[]
- The fact that the objective to get the gold medal in this mission requires the player to kill Beverly and his crew could suggest that they are canonically supposed to die in this mission.
- If the player kills Beverly before he gets in his car, they can collect $2000 from his body.
- The player usually can also get up to $50 from the bodies of Beverly's crew as well.
- The player can steal Beverly's car without killing him, resulting in Franklin saying "I'm taking this as a fucking payment!" and Beverly giving chase. Franklin will receive a two-star wanted level upon doing this. However, stealing the car after killing Beverly and the crew will not result in a wanted level.
- If Franklin decides to kill Beverly while on foot, he will say, "One way or another, motherfucker, I'm getting paid!".
