Mandy Moore feels like someone is always watching her.
The “This is Us” star seemingly called out a member of the paparazzi who has been tracking her “everywhere” as she’s nine months pregnant with her third child.
In a “mini-rant” posted on an Instagram story, the 40-year-old star wrote “I’m no one. There’s real stuff happening in the world, but I’m just a little annoyed” and claimed a vehicle is watching her every move as she tries to run basic errands in Los Angeles.
“I’m literally about to give birth. Like any second, any day. And for the last few days there has been someone that has followed me or us in their car, everywhere,” Moore claimed.
“And we live very much off the beaten path, we live a quiet life. I’m 40 years old. I’m not anybody, I’m not someone that’s trying to have my picture taken. And I’m just annoyed.”
The car observing her would discreetly run red lights and stop signs as she was trying to take her husband’s car to be washed, the actress claimed.
“But also like, what I get annoyed by, is that they think I don’t see them,” Moore continued. “Anyway – it’s not a ‘woe is me’ thing, it’s just an annoying part of the job that, like, mostly does not exist for someone like me, and I – I just have a real distaste for it. And I see you sir. I see you. OK?”
Moore blasted the job of a paparazzi and said it shouldn’t even exist anymore because celebrities can use social media to post photos and share information that they want public.
Moore shares two sons, August 3, and Oscar, 1, with folk singer-songwriter husband Taylor Goldsmith, and isn’t shy about sharing photos of them on her social media accounts.
In May, Moore discovered that she was pregnant with a baby girl and the child is expected to arrive “any second” this month.
Over the summer, “High School Musical” actress Vanessa Hudgens also criticized the paparazzi for photographing her and husband Cole Tucker as they left the hospital with their newborn, according to ABC.
“We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long lens camera feeding the media,” Hudgens wrote in an Instagram story on July 4, 2024.
This isn’t the first time that Moore went online to share her grievances about the paparazzi.
The actress had some harsh words for another photographer who followed her around as she was 10 months pregnant while her dog, Jackson, was in the hospital battling cancer and “fighting for his life,” according to E News.
“To the paparazzi dude who just tried to join me and my son on our walk for the second Sunday in a row you can kindly f–k off,” she wrote online.
