GTA V Paparazzo – The S* Tape Gold Medal Walkthrough

August 1, 2026 by PowerPyx Leave a Comment

Paparazzo – The S** Tape is a Strangers and Freaks Mission (Side Quest) in GTA V (Grand Theft Auto 5). This walkthrough shows how to get all Gold Medals in Paparazzo – The S** Tape for 100% completion.

Gold Medal Requirements:

  • Quick Dip: Jump in the pool whilst following Beverly
  • Money Shot: Achieve full facial recognition during chase

Starting Location: Paparazzo – The S** Tape

  • Location: West Vinewood / Gentry Lane
  • Quest Giver: Beverly
  • Requirement: Complete “Paparazzo“
  • Can Be Started By: Franklin

Follow Beverly

Run into Beverly again at the entrance to Gentry Manor, and again Franklin will get dragooned into another scheme. This time you’re ruining the life of teen star Poppy Mitchell.

Eventually Beverly will run ahead, saying “they should be just past this pool”. At this point, pop into the water for the first Gold Medal requirement:

  • Quick Dip: Jump in the pool whilst following Beverly

Climb out and follow Beverly to where the star is having her very public encounter. Film her until you’re spotted, then follow Beverly as he runs to his car. He’ll drive while you film the star chasing you.

During the chase, try to keep the camera centered on Poppy as much as possible for the other Gold Medal requirement:

  • Money Shot: Achieve full facial recognition during chase

. The box around her face will turn a brighter green as you film and keep her centered in the shot. It’s a challenge, as both Beverly and Poppy will be driving erratically, so you’ll have to make constant adjustments. There’s a good point where Beverly makes a sharp right and goes down an alley. Poppy will follow, and shout at you while looking over the windshield of her convertible. She will do it again when Beverly announces a left, though this time is much harder to keep her centered. Every time she does this, you can get a shot of her full face for the requirement.

She’ll pop her head one more time when he goes through a construction site, and shortly after that she will crash.

Right after the cinematic, Beverly will drop you off to end the mission.

This finishes Paparazzo – The S** Tape in GTA V.

For all other Missions refer to GTA V Walkthrough.

This walkthrough has been updated for the Enhanced Version on PC / PS5 / PS4 / Xbox Series S/X and is also still applicable to the Legacy version.
