Rihanna is living in New York now (WHY HAVEN’T I SEEN HER?!), but things aren’t all honky dory in the Big Apple, because she’s apparently got a crazy ass stalker who could kill her just like Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon if this situation keeps going.
From The Mirror:
New York City judge Orlando Marrazzo said: “He appears to be a ticking time bomb who is wholly fixated on [Rihanna], and poses a direct threat of serious physical harm or death to her and anyone around her.”
He also ruled that the alleged stalker was unfit to stand trial and he ordered that the accused should be committed to a psychiatric hospital in Staten Island, New York.
However, Mr McGlynn has filed a petition seeking release from the psychiatric institute.
The court ordered that the man must stay away from the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker’s home in Manhattan and the police have been directed that they can arrest him if he is found near the singer’s property.
The accused – who was arrested in July this year on alleged stalking offences – has also been banned from contacting the 26-year-old singer by telephone, mail or computer.
The 54-year-old homeless man was arrested after reportedly writing a series of notes to the singer, which made references to murder and sexual assault.
Seriously, I don’t know if all the millions and millions of dollars and fancy lifestyle is worth this bullshit. Not like crazy people don’t target non-celebrities, as well, but it seems so much more common when you’re in the public eye. Hopefully they can put this guy away – though I’m sure there are plenty of other nutsos ready to stalk where he came from!
He’s homeless and apparently mentally unstable and some legal aid lawyer with no cases to handle decides he’s worth repping pro bono. NICE! :(
At least the cops are looking out for RiRi
There always has to be representation, right? That’s what legal aid is for. If he can’t afford a 42.5 pound pumpkin, he can’t afford a lawyer.
