Sydney Sweeney, known for her breakout roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, recently opened up about a shocking encounter with paparazzi that left her feeling unsafe at her own home.
In a candid interview with Glamour, the 27-year-old actress detailed an incident in which aggressive photographers camped outside her Florida residence and pressured her to come outside in a bikini, dangling her family’s privacy as leverage.
Sweeney revealed that while she was enjoying some downtime with her family, the paparazzi showed up uninvited, refusing to leave unless she posed for bikini shots.
According to Sweeney, they bluntly 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.”
The situation escalated to the point where Sweeney felt trapped, leading her to address the alarming nature of these encounters.
What makes this ordeal particularly concerning is the sheer violation of Sweeney’s privacy, even within the presumed safety of her home.
She shared with Glamour how the paparazzi had been stalking her property, some even arriving in kayaks and hiding in bushes, refusing to leave until they got the shots they wanted.
The photographers reportedly stayed from early morning until late afternoon, relentlessly waiting for her to appear.
The invasion left her deeply shaken, leading her to express that her “actual safety is at risk.”
In her Glamour interview, Sweeney also commented on how her appearance has been subject to scrutiny from the start of her career.
Despite the challenges, she tries to keep a level head, focusing on her work and her desire to inspire confidence in her fans.
“I really believe in empowering others and feeling powerful with your body and embracing your sexuality,” she remarked.
