Katy Perry takes a swipe at Australian media

Pop star Katy Perry has taken to Twitter to vent her anger after her experience with photographers in Sydney, while she was trying to take a quiet walk to the beach.

She alleges they told her if she'd make a "deal" with them to take photos of her in her bathing suit, they would leave her be.

The pop star was so disgusted she told the Twittersphere about the encounter, and how she now feels about the Australian media.

"Your Paparazzi have no respect, no integrity, no character. NO HUMANITY.

"I was stalked by many grown men today as I tried to take a quiet walk to the beach. These men would not stop as I pleaded over and over to let me have my space."

Perry goes on to say that onlookers had tried to help but the paparazzi had continued to take pictures and laugh at her.

"I will NEVER make a deal with the paparazzi and I will not befriend anyone who perpetuates this kind of behaviour," her tweet said.

Just after posting the tweet lashing out at the photographers she tweeted again, this time include shots of them.

The pop star is in the country until the middle of December for her Prismatic World Tour Australia.
