Yesterday, Yumi Stynes was at home with her son at 4:40 in the afternoon when she realised there was a photographer waiting outside her house trying to get a photo of her.
She’s since shared her experience on Twitter and says the paparazzo managed to take photos of her without her permission, “intimidating” her and her son in the process.
The cookbook author and television commentator also shared a photo of the outfit she was wearing when it happened, alerting fans of the circumstances behind the photo if they were to see the images published.
“Some creep photographer was waiting outside my house at 4:40pm today. If you see a photo of me in this exact outfit in the press tomorrow it was taken without my permission in an intimidating way while I was alone with my 3-yo son. THIS IS HOW THEY SILENCE US #creeps,” she wrote.
For Stynes, this is a particularly difficult week. Since speaking out against Studio 10’s Kerri-Anne Kennerley and her remarks against anti-Australia Day protests , the Zero F*cks Cookbook author has shared the offensive and threatening messages she’s received from online trolls.
However, one thing is for sure: Stynes isn’t the type of woman to put up with this kind of behaviour – delivered virtually, or otherwise.

I actually thought the point made about her Japanese heritage was quite interesting (if most unpleasantly made). Most would agree that blaming Yumi for past atrocities of Japanese soldiers is inappropriate and not constructive moving forward...so how is blaming white australians for the past any different?
I'd hate to be the person standing outside waiting for 607 Bus right now.
