I’ll be the first to admit that having a stalker isn’t exactly a walk in the park. It’s creepy, it’s invasive, and sometimes it’s downright terrifying. But you know what they say - when life gives you lemons, make lemonade… or in my case, when life gives you a stalker, try to find the humor in it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Anonymous, this situation is serious and I take it very seriously. But if I don’t laugh about some of these moments, I might just lose my mind! Let me tell you about the time my stalker sent me a ‘gift’ - a giant stuffed rabbit wearing a t-shirt with my face on it. I mean, talk about weird. My team was freaking out, but I couldn’t help but giggle at the absurdity of it all.
Then there was the time this person managed to sneak into one of my concerts and got right up front… wearing a full-body spandex suit with my name printed all over it. Talk about dedication (and also talk about fashion disaster)! The security team handled it professionally of course, but from where I was standing on stage, all I could think was ‘Wow, that’s… quite an outfit.’ After the show, we all had a good laugh about it in our debriefing session - because sometimes laughter is just better than tears or anger.
Another time stands out clearly; this individual started showing up at every single one of my public appearances dressed as my ‘twin’. Identical outfits down to shoes and accessories - they even tried to mimic my hairstyles! It got so bad that fans began doing double takes wondering if they were seeing double. While security always handles these situations swiftly and safely for everyone involved (myself included), after each incident passes without major incident… well let’s just say we’ve had some pretty funny imitations going around behind closed doors.
