Even with the pandemic going on, there are still some fans who cannot leave their idols alone.
Billie Eilish seems to be the latest star who has had to deal with an obsessed stalker. TMZ reports that just a fan named Prenell Rousseau kept going to her home to try and see the 'Bad Guy' singer. He did not just go one, but a total of seven times in a span of a week. The trespasser, who is 24 years old, reportedly kept ringing the doorbell to Eilish's home. Her father was the one who responded to the stalker, asking if he could help him. The reply was, "I think I might have the wrong house, but does Billie Eilish live here?" Her father, of course, said that it was the wrong house, but this did not deter Rousseau.
He would come back later that night and a few more times after. It also seemed that the guy was exhibiting some erratic behavior. He would just remain at the porch and read a book or sometimes would have a monologue.
When security would come they would send him on his way but he would still find his way back to the 18-year-old's home. The obsessed fan would return a total of seven times, and five out of those times he did not wear a mask at all. He also did not wear any gloves while he kept touching the door and the doorbell.
The problem is that even though the guy as taken into custody twice this week, he was let go every time as trespassing is considered a non-violent offense. And due to the coronavirus pandemic, those who commit non-violent offenses are not jailed.
This is not the first time that Billie has had to deal with a stalker. In a Rolling Stone interview, she talked about how three fans showed up to her doorstep after her house's location was leaked online. This included an old man who actually drove all the way from San Diego to Los Angeles just to show up at her home. The ordeal traumatized her that for a while, she had to have a bodyguard stay in her room with her.
With the temporary restraining order against Rosseau granted, the stalker will have to stay at least 200 yards away from Billie and her parents. The next date for the hearing is scheduled to take place on June 1.
