Mandy Moore Questioned The Need For Paparazzi, And She Has A Really Good Point

Mandy Moore shared a recent run-in with paparazzi that left her uncomfortable and annoyed.

On Monday, the This Is Us star posted a string of videos to her Instagram story to detail an experience she and her family had with someone following them around with a camera.

Mandy, who's currently preparing to welcome her third child with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, knew some people might criticize the videos, she added this disclaimer:

"I'm no one," Mandy said. "There's real stuff happening in the world, but I'm just a little annoyed. I’m literally about to give birth, like, any second, any day, and for the last few days, there has been someone who has followed me, or us, in their car, everywhere.”

"We live very much off the beaten path," Mandy added. "We live a quiet life. I’m 40 years old. I’m not anybody. I’m not someone who's trying to have my picture taken. I’m annoyed that that job still exists — like, hello, we have social media."

She questioned why paparazzi were still needed when celebrities posted photos and videos about their personal lives every day on social media. But what aggravates her the most is when they try to be inconspicuous when they're clearly not.

"But also," the Dr. Death star continued. "What I get annoyed by is that they think I don’t see them! I was just going to get my husband's car washed while one kid was at school, and the other kid was napping."

"On my way in, I noticed this guy flip around and follow me, run red lights, run stop signs, and do all that stuff, and I’m just like, ‘You’re doing way too much. I notice you. Ew.’”

Again, Mandy stressed that this is not a "woe is me" moment, she just needed to vent her annoyance and frustration with the whole ordeal.

“It’s just an annoying part of the job that mostly does not exist for someone like me. I just have a real distaste for it. And I see you sir! I see you, okay?”

She concluded her rant by including a final video of her and her family driving in the rain, while paparazzi appears to drive next to them.
