Jodie Foster’s Latest Stalker Arrested
A Massachusetts-based stalker, who had been terrorizing Jodie Foster since 2004, was arrested yesterday and charged with mailing a bomb threat — which mentioned the Oscar winner by name — to a Los Angeles airport , the FBI confirmed.
Page Six reports,
Of the 100 almost identical letters Michael Smegal sent to celebrities, businesses and airports between September and January of last year, only some of them mentioned the iconic actress, who was famously stalked by John Hinkley (who shot Ronald Reagan in 1981, claiming he wanted to impress Jodie, then a Yale freshman).
But it was the handwritten letter, which included the words “Jodie Foster S” and “going to be a gas bomb this building” that the 42-year-old man sent to the Van Nuys Airport in December that got the prosecutor’s attention, the Associated Press reported earlier this morning.
FBI Special Agent Joseph H. Altman said in an affidavit that Smegal confessed to sending the letters and chose the recipients because he believed they had a connection to the Screen Actors Guild, which he believed had made disparaging remarks against Jodie.
The notoriously private actress who had been so scarred by her earlier stalking traumas that she reportedly keeps a safe room in the house she shares with her two sons and partner, Cydney Bernard. She also shuns household staff and, until recently, cell phones.
A rep for the 45-year-old actress did not immediately return e-mail requests for comment.
A safe room? Somebody is watching too many movies.
