In the video, Duff can be seen approaching
a pap for taking photos of several children including her own — while they played football together. The former Disney star, 32, tells the guy if he could please stop snapping pics, but he tries to defend himself by telling her that it is not illegal to do so.
“I’m asking you human-to-human, as a mother, if you don’t know anyone here, would you please stop taking pictures of our children playing football.” The man explains to her that he’s just “practicing his photography” and that her paranoia was “unwarranted.” She responds,
“So I’ll just post this to my 15 million followers on Instagram and let people know how creepy it is that this is what you choose to do on a Saturday morning.”
Duff further explained in her IG post that,
“Paparazzi shooting KIDS Go ‘practice’ your photography on ADULTS! Creep! Laws need to change! This is stalking minors! Disgusting!” While some people defended the guy in her comment section, many of her fans agreed that kids should be off limits. Actress Busy Phillips even backed Duff up in the comment section, calling the interaction “infuriating.”
“This isn’t about his job or his ‘rights.’” Phillips wrote. “This is about his OWN perceived POWER over others. I imagine it’s the only time this pathetic person feels any power in his life. I know it’s illegal for an adult not with a child to be inside a playground- how is taking pictures of children without parental consent legal?!??”
