The actress was on holiday on Hamilton Island with her mum Nuala when paparazzo Jamie Fawcett snapped a picture of her on the beach.
She told the Sydney Morning Herald: "We went out from Hamilton to a tiny island to relax in the sun and all of a sudden Jamie Fawcett jumped out of a bush with a massive camera lens and took photos of me.
"He'd followed us in a boat! He's a ridiculous human being. I've never abhorred anyone more. I was so angry I went up to him and said how disappointed I was with his behaviour.
"He apologised but he was very insincere."
Barton also objected to tabloid reports that her partying lifestyle was out of control during a recent trip to Australia. She said: "I was disappointed that press said I was dancing on tables.
"I've never danced on a table in my life. I was just chilling out. I went to quiet dinners in Sydney so I could meet people and experience the city. I really like it here."
