I owe Hilary Duff an apology. I like Hilary, but I’ve always assumed that she called the paps on herself because we have so many photos of her doing every day activities. After her encounter with a paparazzo this weekend, maybe I’ve been wrong this whole time. As we know, Hilary is very pregnant with her second child, a girl, with boyfriend Matthew Koma. According to a video Hilary filmed and posted to her Instagram, this particular paparazzo followed her all morning and would not let her alone, to the point that it made Hilary uncomfortable. Not only did he show up at her son Luca’s soccer game, he followed to her sister Haylie’s houses, who also has small children. She asked him to leave her alone, but he refused and continued to follow her throughout the day. And when she told him she was pregnant, sick and uncomfortable with his constant presence, he put it back on her, telling her he’d wasted his morning and hadn’t gotten any pictures:

This guy has been at my sons soccer game this morning then followed me to my sisters house and was basically parked in her drive way to get photos. Followed me to run errands. I politely asked him to let me be and he continues to follow and stalk me down like pray for hours now. This is not ok. I am 9 months pregnant. When people say that’s what you get for signing up to be a celebrity it honestly makes me sick. This is every day of every month and it’s simply not ok. If a non “celeb”(I’m sorry to use that word) was dealing with this the law would be involved

I’ll admit, I used to be one of those people who would occasionally use the “that’s what you signed up for” argument but that was before I had any idea how relentless some of these paps can be. Hilary’s right, no one deserves this, “every day of every month.” And add to that, she’s sick AND nine months pregnant. Christ, I didn’t want my husband around me when I was that pregnant, let alone some creepy photographer. This is gross and the photographer’s beady-eyed glare he has trained on Hilary as she asks him to back off gives me chills. You can hear the fear in her voice – she’s trying to be firm, but it’s obvious she’s pretty rattled. This is yet another frightening example of a person who refuses to accept that No Means No. I’d hate for Hilary to have to hire security to be around her full time because of this kind of behavior but I wouldn’t blame her if she did. She’ll soon have two kids to worry about and if these guys are getting worse, I’m sure she’ll do whatever she needs to do.
