On Friday, the 33-year-old actress shared an impassioned message on social media in response to a series of new paparazzi photos of herself and her three children — daughtersJames, 6,Inez, 4, andBetty, 21 months — whom she shares with husbandRyan Reynolds.
“A stranger on the street got into words with them because it was so upsetting for her to see,” theGossip Girlalum added, writing that she attempted to “calmly approach” that photographer, who “would run away” before re-appearing to “jump out again at the next block.”
Continuing, she added, “Where is your morality here? I would like to know. Or do you simply not care about the safety of children?”

Lively isn’t the only celebrity parent to speak out about their experiences with paparazzi taking photographs of their children.
“You know we have never intentionally shared our daughter’s face on social media,” the supermodel, 26, wrote. “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen.”
