When asked what she thinks of the paparazzi in New York, Kruger — who has beenprotective of details about her child, including her name and exact birthday — told the outlet, “I f—ing hate it and it’s driving me nuts.”
“When I’m with my kid and they take pictures of her I’ve almost hit a few of them,” she added. “If I see them and they’re brave enough to not walk away, 100 percent I’m that crazy lady who yells across the street.”
Kruger also told the publication that having a child of her own has altered her relationship with her own mother.
“I can see how she tried and did her best, you know. All the things that you reproach your parents for when you grow up, they fall away because you understand finally what it takes,” she explained.
