“This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the [expletive] out of me. Put a camera in my face. I asked him to stop and he said, ‘No, it’s America and we paid for you’ this was in front of his daughter,” Schumer wrote on Instagram.
She added, “I was saying stop and no. Great message to your kid. Yes legally you are allowed to take a picture of me. But I was asking you to stop and saying no. I will not take picture with people anymore and it’s because of this dude in Greenville.”
Justin Bieber is another celebrity who’s decided to forgo any photo-taking with fans, citing he feels like “a zoo animal.”
“If you happen to see me out somewhere know that I’m not gonna take a picture. I’m done taking pictures,” Bieber wrote on Instagram. “It has gotten to the point that people won’t even say hi to me or recognize me as a human. I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to to keep my sanity.”
