Charlotte Dawson tells Lorde to leave New Zealand: 'It'll crush your spirit'

Following Lorde's Twitter rant about being pushed and shoved at Auckland airport by the media, Kiwi media personality Charlotte Dawson has warned the 17-year-old she should just leave the country. Find out why in the interview with Newstalk ZB above.

The Tweets that Charlotte is referring to in the interview, explain how frightened and unsafe the star has become since returning home from the Grammy Awards this week.

"NZ media almost pushed over myself and my family at the airport this morning in order to get their shots," she Tweeted yesterday. "Bit of a sad welcome if I'm honest.

"I know that success comes with a price tag. It just sucks when you see that in your tiny home country where you previously felt safe."

"I understand that people of note are supposedly fair game for everyone to photograph and film but that doesn't make it acceptable. There is a difference between attn [sic] from fans, which I love and the constant, often lecherous gaze that I'm subjected to in this industry."

"I'm beginning to get used to my image as a public commodity and the fact that I'm getting used to it frightens me."

Lorde has since deleted the Tweets, but you can witness the media frenzy in question in the video below…
