Sydney Sweeney recently shared an incident where photographers camped outside her Florida home, pressuring her to pose in a bikini.
Sweeney described the situation, explaining how the photographers refused to leave unless she complied with their demands. "They said, 'If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I'll take pictures and then I'll leave you alone,'" she recalled. This demand was not only intrusive but also placed undue pressure on Sweeney, who was simply trying to enjoy time with her family.
Expressing her frustration, Sweeney questioned the logic behind the paparazzi's actions. "Why would I call the paparazzi to take pictures of me at my own house when my baby cousins and family are there and I'm in my backyard? Why would I ever want that?" she asked.
Despite her rising fame, Sweeney remains grounded and protective of her personal life. She shared how the presence of paparazzi not only invades her privacy but also poses a real threat to her safety. "I have pictures of these guys in kayaks hiding in bushes in the ocean. They got there at 8 a.m. and wouldn't leave until 4 p.m. I should be able to be in my home and feel comfortable and safe," she emphasized.
Sweeney also pointed out the broader implications of such invasions. When private images are published, they can lead to further harassment and endangerment. "When those photos go out, then my actual safety is at risk. Everyone knows where I am. Now there's boats that go by, and I literally hear them say, 'This is Sydney Sweeney's house.' It becomes a star tour in my front yard," she explained. Her revelations advocate for other public figures who have gone through such harassment.
