Singing sensation Lorde has taken a swipe at photographer Simon Runting on twitter, accusing him of "stalking'' her and violating her privacy.
The double grammy winner took aim at the photographer in a series of tweets today, which named him, posted his Facebook page address and his photograph.
She wrote: "this man has been stalking me, photographing me and refusing me privacy. i am scared of him. he frequents central akl.''
She said she refused to stay complicit or "stay passive about men systematically subjecting me to extreme fear''.
The posts were sent to her more than one and a half million followers on Twitter, and retweeted thousands of times.
