Grammy Award winning singer Lorde is taking to social media to stand up for her privacy, turning the tables on an aggressive paparazzo, she says is stalking her.
As ABC reports in the video, below, the 17-year-old New Zealand pop sensation is “fighting back against what she calls paparazzi harassment and stalking,” by complaining about a particular paparazzo, on her Twitter page.
Lorde, who has 1. 5 million followers, posted a photo of the man, writing: “this man has been stalking me, photographing me and refusing me privacy. I am scared of him.”
In another tweet she posts a photo of Rihanna, posting: “his name is simon runting. he took these photos of rihanna at her hotel last year.”
She goes on in other tweets to post a link to the photographer’s Facebook page and to write:
this should not be an accepted standard for young women or anyone in this industry.
[…]
I refuse to stay passive about men systemically subjecting me to fear. I understand this comes with the territory. I do not understand why I should be complacent.
You can see a couple of her tweets below, followed by a news clip from ABC News.
