Sydney Sweeney says paparazzi once pressured her to pose in a bikini

After getting famous, actor Sydney Sweeney says she is dealing with a lot of harassment from paparazzi. In a recent interview, she recalled an incident when photographers demanded to come out in a bikini in front of her home in Florida, and refused to leave her house without that shot.

What did Sydney Sweeney say

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Sydney Sweeney revealed that photographers got in front of her house in Florida some time back. She said they also shouted at her family who were outside, while shutting down speculation that she called the paparazzi herself.

“They said, ‘If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I’ll take pictures and then I’ll leave you alone’… 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? 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 said.

The actor also clarified that she is not much bothered about the presence of the photographers, but it irks her when her location gets out via their pictures. That’s because she feels it is interfering with her privacy. “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 added.
