Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) said she fantasizes about destroying paparazzi cars with a baseball bat. The model and Rhode founder described her frustrations on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast.  

"Sometimes when there's paparazzi following me, I have a flash in my head of like getting out with a baseball bat and like literally destroying their car," she told host Alex Cooper. Cooper pointed out that paparazzi even followed Bieber to the studio before their interview.

"It makes me so annoyed that I'm like one of these days I swear to God I'm going to get out of the car with a fucking baseball bat," Bieber continued. 

She clarified that she had no plans to act on the impulse. "This is a hypothetical situation, by the way," she said.

"That's my urge right now," she added.

Bieber said she did not want to allow the paparazzi to have the power to disrupt her energy but that she had reached her limit. She said she sometimes manages to make her way around town undetected using different routes but gets annoyed with photographers waiting at the bottom of her street. 

"It happens all the time. I know that's going to happen if I'm in LA. There's not many ways to avoid it — they just sit at the bottom of my street," she said.

"It's the feeling of hitting a breaking point, of I can't stand it anymore," she added.

Bieber acknowledged that being photographed without permission is part of being in the public eye but said she did not request their intrusions.

"I didn't ask for grown men to follow me around with cameras, but I do understand that it comes with the territory," she said.

Elsewhere in the "Call Her Daddy" interview, Bieber spoke about her marriage and also addressed fan speculation that there's drama between herself and her husband Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, or that she "stole" him from Gomez.

"It's not my character to mess with someone's relationship. I would just never do that. I was raised better than that," the 25-year-old model said. "Like, I can say, period, point-blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That's the end of it, and I had been involved with him since I was 18."
