Lana Del Rey has spoken out on her “fight” with “stalkers” in Paris: “Don’t follow me

stayc main image

Lana Del Rey has spoken out following her “fight” with “stalkers” in Paris. The singer was recently spotted having a heated exchange in the French capital, where she claimed someone was “following” her and her family. It remains unclear whether the person trailing Del Rey was a photographer or a fan. TMZ published a video capturing the tense encounter. When the individual claimed Del Rey “came to me,” she retorted, “You followed me! With my family! Get away from me. Don’t follow me! Don’t follow me!”

During the confrontation, the person expressed confusion over Del Rey’s distress, to which she responded emphatically, “I am upset! Don’t let them follow me. I only have one day here. I work every single day. I have four hours to myself.” The person then told Del Rey not to “scream,” prompting her to retort, “Shut up! Don’t follow people.” Del Rey later commented underneath a video of the incident, labeling them as “stalkers” and revealing, “These assholes actually told me that they were going to alter the pictures to make me look bad after we got into the fight.” TMZ has reached out to Del Rey’s representatives for further comment.

Del Rey recently shared nostalgic memories with NME at the Ivor Novello Academy Awards, recalling her time living on Hackney’s Kingsland Road. “I remember every smell, every shop, every beauty shop,” she told NME. She reminisced about getting green contact lenses for interviews to get signed. Ben Mawson, her manager, once saw her with these lenses and massive extensions, leading him to stomp the lenses, exclaiming, “You look like a lizard!” Despite this, Del Rey fondly remembers the vibrant beauty shops on Kingsland Road, situated past the fish market and bustling bus routes, highlighting the charm and significance of her past experiences in shaping her journey.
