While Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are one of the most active celebrity couples on social media, having a joke and trolling each other when promoting their numerous business ventures and movie projects, they are also not frightened to get serious when required on the many apps they are a part of. Lively recently proved that she is happy to call out something wrong done against her and her family by the media, calling out Daily Main AU for the use of "deceitful" photos that included images of her children.

The issue seems to have stemmed from a post by the news outlet, which featured a photo of Lively out with two of her daughters in a stroller, which she carried the third, and a second photo of her grinning and waving at the camera. The caption included with the images read: "Blake Lively is a hands-on mum as she expertly wrangles ALL THREE daughters while out in NYC." While this may all seem pretty above board, with the post praising her ability to juggle her children and seemingly not doing anything to being distain upon the actress, it is the photos themselves that brought Lively to react, as she explained in her comment on the post.

"You edit together these images together to look like I'm happily waving. But that is deceitful. The real story is: my children were being stalked by a man all day. Jumping out. And then hiding. A stranger on the street got into words with them because it was so upsetting for her to see. When I tried to calmly approach the photographer you hired to take these pictures in order to speak to him, he would run away. And jump out again at the next block," Lively wrote. "Do you do background checks on the photograph[er]s you pay to stalk children? Where is your morality here? I would like to know. Or do you simply not care about the safety of children? The photographers who would speak to me, I was able to agree to smile and wave and let them take my picture away from my children if they would leave my kids alone. Because it was frightening. Tell the whole story, @dailymailau. At a minimum, listen to your followers. They too understand this is dark and upsetting that you pay people to stalk children. Please stop paying grown-ass men to hide and hunt children. There are plenty of pictures you could've published without the kids. Please delete. C'mon. Get with the times."

The post itself was deleted by Daily Mail AU, as requested by the star, but in many ways that also meant that her comment calling out the issue of celebrities being stalked for that "big photo" opportunity was also deleted. However, the Instagram account Commentsbycelebs posted the whole interaction for everyone to see. Lively responded to this post too.

"Thank for sharing," Lively commented on the above post. "One simple thing people can do is stop following and block any publications or handles who publish kid's pictures. Feel free to report them. Or send a dm sharing why you don't follow them. But it's a simple way of only aligning with publications who have morality. And so many do. All are trying to service an audience. So if that audience makes it clear they don't want something -like photos of children obtained by men frightening and stalking them- the publication or account will do what the audience wants. It's the only way that so many have already stopped. Because the people demanded it. So thank you to everyone who's made that difference already. And thank you again for sharing. It's f*cking scary."

It is clear that the incident hit pretty hard, but does raise, not for the first time, how being in the publics' eye seems to give anyone the green light to do whatever they feel necessary to provide intimate and personal photographs to news outlets, regardless of how the celebrity in question feels about it. Daily Mail AU may at least think carefully about the kind of celebrity images they share in the future and how they could have been obtained.
