Blake Lively says that photographers are following her and Ryan Reynolds’ children around. “It was terrifying,” she says.

Blake Lively is speaking out for the safety of her children and Ryan Reynolds.

The actress criticized a tabloid this week for publishing pictures of her and her three children posing for cameras in New York City.

Blake said on social media that she really didn’t think the situation was friendly, even though in one picture she looked like she was happy and waving. The 33-year-old added her opinion to the now-deleted Instagram post for the magazine and called it “stingy.”

“The 𝔱𝔯𝔲th is that a man was following my kids around during the day, and they would run out and hide.” A woman on the street was so bothered by it that she started talking to them. She said parts of this: “When I tried to talk to the photographer you hired to take these pictures, he would run away and jump out again at the next block.” She said it was “scary” what happened.
