23. Celebrity Stalkers: Diana Napolis & Genevieve Sabourin

Please leave us a review on iTunes, and tell your friends about Pink Collar! For every written review, we are donating $1 to the National Center for Victims of Crime. This week, we talk about celebrity stalkers. We start off with a discussion about different types of stalkers, characteristics of female stalkers, and celebrity worship syndrome. Nathalie tells us the unusual story of Diana Napolis, a former social worker, who was also known as Karen Curio Jones, her secret online identity. Diana believed in a conspiracy that certain individuals were involved in satanic rituals. She was arrested for stalking Steven Speilberg and for making death threats towards Jennifer Love Hewitt. Rachel then tells the story of Genevieve Sabourin, a French Canadian actress who was famous for stalking Alec Baldwin and his fiance. Genevieve claimed she was trying to get closure after the end of a romantic relationship, but Alec told a much different story. After a dramatic trial, Genevieve was guilty of stalking, attempted aggravated assault, harassment, and contempt of court.
