Swim star Stephanie Rice has lashed out, after a mystery man photographed her partying in Thailand and sold the pictures to the media.
Photos of Rice letting her hair down at a Patong nightclub have today been splashed across newspapers – the 20-year-old describing it as being ‘really out of line’.
Rice was in Thailand for a relaxing holiday, hoping to have some down time after a whirlwind year.
“Some of those photos from Thailand were kind of frustrating,” Rice told News Ltd.
"This guy had asked for a photo with me and I said 'Sure, no problem', but then he kept taking photos of me having a good time with my friends.”
Rice was snapped dancing with friends, in one photo she appeared to have fallen over.
Rice expressed her disappointment that she is unable to act like a ‘normal’ 20-year-old without being scrutinised, on her ‘one night off in a year’.
