A tense encounter between actress Hilary Swank and a fellow traveler at Los Angeles International Airport drew attention after a mother shared details of the incident on social media.
Bafus shared on Instagram that Swank said, “You got what you needed? Get what you came for? Enjoy that picture,” before walking away, leaving Bafus feeling hurt. Bafus said she was not actually taking a photo of the actress and was overwhelmed with the stress of navigating the airport with her children, both of whom have Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a severe and progressive condition.
Bafus later shared that Swank reached out via Instagram to apologize privately and to explain that she had been concerned about her own young twins being photographed. Bafus requested that the content of Swank’s apology not be published but expressed appreciation for the actress’s outreach. Bafus and her husband told reporters they were not upset with Swank following the apology.
