The peace of mind that Shakira sought when moving to Miami was threatened by a disturbing stalker who was eventually arrested. The man, 56 years old and originally from Texas, had been sending disturbing messages to the singer through social networks, taking the situation to an alarming level that forced her to intervene.
The artist, who has recently separated from Piqué, was forced to turn to her lawyers in the face of the growing intrusion into her private life. The situation became more disturbing when the stalker was spotted near Shakira’s house, generating fear not only for her safety, but also for that of her children.
The harassment was not limited to physical proximity, as the man even delivered packages to the singer and her children between December 2023 and January 2024. The escalation of these disturbing actions led the Colombian to take legal measures to protect herself.
The nightmare culminated with the arrest of the stalker while he was hovering near Shakira’s residence. In an even more disturbing twist, the man, upon being arrested, claimed to be married to the artist and have a family with her, revealing an obsession that increased the singer’s fear and concern.
The incident once again highlights the challenges that celebrities face in terms of security and privacy, even when trying to remove themselves from complicated situations.
Shakira, who had already gone through difficult times during her separation from Piqué, now faces the trauma of a stalker who stalked her to her new home in Miami, where she was looking for the tranquility she was missing in Barcelona. The man’s detention provides respite, but underscores the constant need for surveillance and protection in the lives of public figures.
