The mum said she had lost sight of her husband and children and pulled out her phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just looked, like you know, I was trying to call my husband.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t taking a picture.”<\/p>\n
She claims the two-time Oscar Best Actress winner turned and snapped at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got what you needed? Get what you came for? Enjoy that picture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bafus said Swank stormed off, leaving her stunned.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just hurt my feelings because I was starting my son\u2019s Make-A-Wish trip, which we wouldn\u2019t have known, but just one of those situations where it was one of my first encounters with a celebrity, so I thought it was a little comical.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bafus confirmed Swank later contacted her via Instagram to apologise.<\/p>\n
In the apology, Swank explained she was concerned her 2-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm, would be photographed.<\/p>\n
Bafus said she was taken aback by the direct message.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did not expect Hilary Swank to talk to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Bafus\u2019 husband, Bryan, said the encounter marred the start of their trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo snap back at anybody when you\u2019re in that profession is kind of like … I don\u2019t know …\u201d <\/p>\n
He told the Daily Mail the couple are \u201cnot upset\u201d at Swank.<\/p>\n
The actor has never shared on social media images of her fraternal twins, born in April 2023.<\/p>\n
She received criticism online at the time for choosing to give birth at a later stage in life; Swank was 50.<\/p>\n
The Bafus family continued their trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, before returning to their home in Spokane, Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mum said she had lost sight of her husband and children and pulled out her phone. \u201cI…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[6876,74,2681,8239,38860,43507,87098,114189,1061,2741,156,183,4223,78836,114188,6178,2721,111,139,69,1523,29689,114187,49929,102],"class_list":["post-178660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-actress","tag-after","tag-airport","tag-american","tag-apologised","tag-apologises","tag-baggage","tag-berating","tag-children","tag-claim","tag-entertainment","tag-hilary","tag-hollywood","tag-lax","tag-makeawish","tag-mother","tag-mum","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-over","tag-row","tag-swank","tag-terminally","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
