Paris Jackson, known for her outstanding role in the TV show Star and her melodic voice in the song Let Down, has finally received some good news. For quite some time, she’s been living under the shadow of fear because of a man she claims has been relentlessly following her since 2019. This unnerving ordeal had caused her much distress.
However, things seem to be looking up for the young starlet. The accused stalker, who had caused so much worry and anxiety for Paris, has now been apprehended by the authorities. He is currently behind bars and could potentially face a punishment of up to one year in prison. The fans of Paris can only hope that she finds peace and safety moving forward.
A Timeline of Intense Harassment
Paris Jackson’s nightmarish experience reached its zenith when the alleged stalker, whose identity remains undisclosed, audaciously scaled her fence and peered through her windows. Though a close acquaintance of the singer managed to chase him away, his acts didn’t go unnoticed or unpunished. The authorities subsequently arrested the man, charging him with four misdemeanor counts. Among these charges are two for stalking.
The Blast, a reliable entertainment news outlet, has further reported that the man’s charges extend to “loitering to commit a crime” and “harassment on social media.” If the court finds him guilty, he may end up with a year’s imprisonment and could be slapped with a fine of up to $1,000.
Paris’s Restraining Order: A Plea for Peace
Even as the accused stalker currently remains detained at Los Angeles’ Men Central Jail, with a bail set at $20,000, Paris Jackson’s ordeal casts light on the distressing reality celebrities often face. In her restraining order application, Jackson pointed out her unfamiliarity with the man, expressing deep concerns over his increasingly intrusive attempts to reach out to her.
In a worrying turn of events, only two days after the fence incident, another report emerged. This time, a man made his way to the young 25-year-old celebrity’s front door. Thankfully, Paris was not home during either episode.
Not the First Time
This isn’t the first time the young star had to grapple with such a traumatic experience. Rewinding to 2018, Paris Jackson found herself in another distressing situation. She obtained a temporary restraining order against a different alleged stalker who made an unwelcome appearance at her recording studio. As per records, he once lingered outside for a staggering 15 hours, waiting to encounter her.
TMZ unveiled court documents that recounted an unsettling encounter.
A friend of Paris Jackson had taken it upon himself to question the alleged stalker’s intent. To which, the man chillingly retorted, “What the f*** does it look like I’m doing here? I’m stalking your b****.” Further alarming statements from him included, “By midnight it will all be over … the way it ends is with her or with a shotgun.” Earlier, he even Tweeted at Paris, bizarrely claiming they were “soul mates”.
For her protection, the courts granted Paris a restraining order, which mandated that the man maintain a distance of at least 100 yards away from her and prohibited any form of communication.
