As a celebrity, Rebecca Judd is sadly accustomed to paparazzi. They tail her car, lurk outside her home, even follow her children to school.
The 34-year-old model, radio host and speech pathologist knows she’s fair game in public places; it’s the price she pays for her high profile.
But two encounters with one particular photographer have left her quite unsettled.
“I reckon he’s about 17. He waits outside my house, but – get this – his mum drives him around!” the The 3PM Pick Up host said on air today.
“His mum is supporting it, maybe instigating it.”
Rebecca Judd talks about her pregnancies. Post continues…
The mother-of-four’s first run-in with the young paparazzo occurred last year while pregnant with her now five-month-old twins, Tom and Darcy.
On a trip to a local post office, the teen leapt out of a car and pointed his long-lensed camera at her.
“He goes, ‘Hi Rebecca!’ And I was like, ‘Hey. Is that your mum driving you around?'” Judd told her KIIS co-hosts. “[He replied] ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve driven down from Adelaide to take photos of you.'”
The second took place recently when he photographed her and her children at a private school.
“What an inappropriate job for a mother to support,” she said. “I think being a child pap and stalking other people’s kids, I think is so wrong.”
Judd also wrote on Instagram on Sunday she felt “today was a bit much”.
