What did Sydney Sweeney say about paparazzi forcing her to wear a bikini?
Sydney Sweeney has disclosed in an interview that she was recently greeted by several photographers at her Florida residence.
While talking to Glamour, the Euphoria actress stated that the paparazzi showed up at her doorstep when she was entertaining her family. According to her, uninvited journalists even requested her for an impromptu bikini photoshoot. “They said, ‘If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I’ll take pictures and then I’ll leave you alone,’” shared Sweeney.
Sydney Sweeney even admitted to having visual evidence of paparazzi hiding in bushes on kayaks to secure content. “They got there at 8 AM and wouldn’t leave until 4 PM,” the actress revealed. “I should be able to be in my home and feel comfortable and safe.” She then addressed the speculations, suggesting that it was the actress who employed the paparazzi in the first place.
“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?” Sweeney conveyed to Glamour. Additionally, she doubled down on how the incident at her home had affected her security, as well as that of her family.
“When those photos go out, then my actual safety is at risk,” the actress explained. “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.” Known for keeping her private life under wraps, it is uncertain at the moment whether Sydney Sweeney will take any legal action against the involved paparazzi.
