Sydney said that the paparazzi told her family, “If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I’ll take pictures, and then I’ll leave you alone.”
Sydney Sweeney has recalled a disturbing encounter with the paparazzi.
Speaking with Glamour magazine this week, Sydney, 27, revealed that the paps recently showed up at her new house in Florida.
The photographers approached Sydney’s family, who were standing outside her house, and started yelling at them because they wanted to take photographs of the Euphoria star.
And in a bid to get these pictures, Sydney recalled the paps telling her family, “If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I’ll take pictures, and then I’ll leave you alone.”
Sydney went on to note that her safety is “at risk” when the paparazzi publish images outside her home.
“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.,” she said of the paps.
“I should be able to be in my home and feel comfortable and safe,” she added.
Sydney also shut down rumors that she has previously called the paparazzi on herself, questioning, “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?”
“When those photos go out, then my actual safety is at risk,” she added. “Everyone knows where I am.”
