Sydney Sweeney, star of "Euphoria", has recently spoken out about the increasing invasion of her privacy by paparazzi.
The internet's obsession with her body has led to heightened demand for her photos, with photographers crossing personal boundaries to capture her in vulnerable moments.
In an interview with Glamour, Sweeney recounted a disturbing incident when paparazzi gathered outside her home in Florida, demanding pictures of her in a bikini.
"They said, ‘If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I’ll take pictures, and then I’ll leave you alone,’” Sweeney recalled.
The actress forcefully denied any involvement in setting up the incident, asserting that she would never orchestrate such an invasion of her own privacy.
“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?" Sweeney said. "Why would I ever want that?"
Sweeney described how persistent photographers even resorted to hiding in kayaks and bushes, staying from early morning until late afternoon.
“I should be able to be in my home and feel comfortable and safe,” she added.
The actress also highlighted the serious risks these invasions pose to her safety. “When those photos go out, then my actual safety is at risk,” she 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."
Sweeney's comments reflect growing concerns about the balance between public life and personal privacy, as celebrities continue to navigate the intense pressures of fame in the age of social media and 24/7 paparazzi coverage.
