‘Creepy’ fan’s inappropriate selfie with Jack Antonoff sparks outrage

A fan of singer-songwriter Jack Antonoff has sparked outrage over an inappropriate selfie.

TikTok influencer Adam Barrera cornered the producer in the bathroom at the Variety Hitmakers event in Hollywood last weekend and took a selfie with him.

The photo was taken in the mirror while Antonoff was washing his hands, probably after using the toilet.

Barrera posted the image to X, formerly Twitter, saying, “So I met Jack Antonoff in the bathroom.”

The Bleachers frontman, who has penned hits for Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, looked incredibly unimpressed in the photo.

The selfie was poorly received on social media, with most people criticizing Barrera for harassing the star in such a private place.

“You haven’t met him, you creepily asked him for a selfie which he clearly doesn’t feel like doing. It must be so weird being so famous like you can’t even go to the bathroom in peace,” wrote political commentator Rob Smith.

“This is so cringe, let the man go to the bathroom in peace,” wrote another.

“You haven’t met him, you creepily asked him for a selfie which he clearly doesn’t feel like doing,” wrote political commentator Rob Smith.

A third commented: ‘He must be a saint because I would tell you to mend up. At least let those people use a toilet in peace.’

Another wrote: ‘Asking for a photo in the bathroom is such thirsty, low-grade, desperate behavior.’

“Taking a photo of someone while they are literally drying their hands in the bathroom is a low life activity,” a fifth added.

‘So disrespectful and unnecessary. Celebrities deserve the same privacy that everyone in the bathroom deserves,” wrote another.

“Asking for someone’s photo in the bathroom and then taking it into the bathroom is the rudest thing I’ve ever heard,” one added.

The photo currently has almost 800,000 views on X alone.

Barrera is known for covering the world of pop music on his TikTok account, where he has 1.4 million followers.

Outside of Antonoff, he managed to take selfies with a number of other celebrities at the Variety event, including Charli XCX.

As Taylor Swift superfans will know, Antonoff is the mastermind behind some of the pop star’s biggest hits, including Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer, Karma and Fortnight.

Since 2012, Jack has won eleven Grammy Awards, including three Album of the Years for Taylor Swift’s 1989, Folklore and Midnights and three Producer of the Year awards.

In 2019, he also won a Grammy for Song of the Year and Album of the Year for Lana del Rey’s Norman F***ing Rockwell, which he produced.

The producer’s love life has proven to be just as remarkable as his music, as he previously dated Scarlett Johansson and Lena Dunham before marrying Andie MacDowell’s daughter Margaret Qualley last year.
