'Please stop paying grown-ass men to hide and hunt children,' says Lively
Blake Lively is calling out dangerous paparazzi culture.
The 33-year-old star wrote a detailed message on Friday as a response to photos posted of her children- daughters James, 6, Inez, 4, and Betty, 21 months- on social media without permission.
"You edit together these images together to look like I'm happily waving. But that is deceitful," Lively wrote. "The real story is: My children were being stalked by a men [sic] all day. Jumping out. And then hiding."
"A stranger on the street got into words with them because it was so upsetting for her to see," the Gossip Girl alum added, writing that she attempted to "calmly approach" that photographer, who "would run away" before re-appearing to "jump out again at the next block."
Continuing, she added, "Where is your morality here? I would like to know. Or do you simply not care about the safety of children?"
"Please stop paying grown-ass men to hide and hunt children," she added. "C'mon. Get with the times." Blake concluded in despair.
