Sydney Sweeney opened up about her relationship with the paparazzi and having a lack of privacy.
The 27-year-old Anyone But You actress has exploded in popularity this year with the release of multiple hit movies and more projects in the pipeline.
However, the increased fame has led to more invasions of her privacy. In fact, Sydney said that the paparazzi have even hounded members of her family to get photos of her in a bikini.

Speaking to Glamour, Sydney explained that this is exactly what happened when photographers were outside of her Florida home,
“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.
Sydney pointed out that people thought she was staging the paparazzi photos, something that she vehemently denied.
“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. “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.”
The actress added that the lack of privacy has dangerous side effects.
“When those photos go out, then my actual safety is at risk,” she said. “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.”
