Woman chased Guns N ‘Roses vocalist in the late 1990s and early 2000s – then moved his target to former Ju Sync
Axl Rose was one of the great stars of rock between the 1980s and 1990s. Guns n ‘Rosesof course, cultivated dedicated fans. Some, even more than desired.
In 1997, the American discovered a fan at least inconvenient. Karen Mcneil He used to attend the outskirts of the artist’s house and after a while he claimed that he was the singer’s wife.
It was soon clear that it is a classic case of “Stalker” – “persecutor” in Portuguese. The phenomenon consists of someone who pursues or watches another person obsessively and repeatedly. Whether in real life (as it was with Rose) or via the internet, it is something that has become increasingly common with the advent of social networks.
Axl Rose resorts to the authorities
Having bothered by the situation, Axl Rose fired the police and got a protective measure against Karen McNeil, who was prohibited from approaching the singer. It was no use. Shortly thereafter, she was first arrested for disobeying the court order.
Three years later, in 2000, Karen again harassed axl. This time, Stalker was sentenced to a year in prison for invading the musician’s house in Malibuin California.
At the time, the Malibu police chief told the NME (via Ultimate Classic Rock):
“Axl Rose called the Malibu/Lost Hills sheriff police station to report that a persecutor was trying to enter her property.”
New target
After this episode, Karen Mcneil gave the vocalist of the Guns n ‘Roses. However, it found a new target: Justin Timberlake.
In 2009, the former member of the ‘N sync triggered the police of Los Angeles claiming that a woman had invaded her residence three times. When the authorities identified the Stalker in question, they found it to be Karen McNeil.
The insistent persecuting claimed that he had been allowed to enter the residence, but the version did not collate. Karen was determined by not approaching less than 90 meters from Timberlake’s house and his family.
