Lorde Used Twitter To Publicly Shame A Paparazzo She Says Has Been Stalking Her

And it's this sort of thing that makes her Queen Bee.

Yesterday Lorde's 1.5 million Twitter followers were shown a picture of photographer Simon Runting, who's somewhat notorious in New Zealand.

And some of his work (he's apparently the photographer Rihanna compared to the Nazis).

Lorde @lordemusic

She then reposted his picture with a link to his Facebook profile, and once more with the comment "I refuse to stay complicit and I refuse to stay passive about men systematically subjecting me to extreme fear."

Lorde @lordemusic

i understand that this comes with the territory. i do not understand why I should be complacent.

Runting has yet to comment on the tweets.

Last month the 17-year-old singer was picked by Nirvana to front their induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Dave Grohl said the performance gave him hope for the future of music.
