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.

She keeps her relationship with businessman Jonathan Davino also very low-key. The 27-year-old actor is best known for her starring roles in Euphoria, The White Lotus and Anyone but You.

Earlier this year, the Immaculate actor hit back at lewd comments about her physical appearance.
