Billie Eilish went to court over her stalker. According to the singer, an unknown man in letters threatens her with murder. Eilish complained about the panic attacks and said she was afraid to leave the house. Newspaper.ru.
Billie Eilish first faced threats last August. The celebrity turned to the police only now, as the persecution resumed.
According to the documents, Eilish recently received a note in which a certain John Hirl threatens to kill her. The man addressed such messages to her and her family.
“You cannot get what you want, unless you dream of dying at my hands. Soon the water will really rise [probably a reference to the “Everything I Wanted” video] and you will really drown. You will die, ”says the letter published by the tabloid.
The singer admitted that she is afraid to go out, since the persecutor knows where she lives. One day, a man stood in front of her home in Los Angeles and ran his hand across her neck, hinting that he would cut her throat. Eilish claims that he settled in a nearby abandoned building to keep an eye on her.

Los Angeles police have launched an investigation. Meanwhile the court has already issued a protection order. Eilish hopes that the man will be obliged to stay at least 180 meters from her and her family.
“I no longer feel safe when I go outside the house. I can not calmly play sports in my area. He can come up to me and hurt me. Not only to me, but also to my family. Every time I see him, I just want to scream. The thought that I need to get out of the car and walk to the door of the house gives me a panic attack, ”said the performer.
Eilish has previously gone to court because of her obsessive fan. In May 2020, Prenelle Russo watched the singer on the doorstep of her house for several hours, read a book and "made some kind of speeches." Eilish's father repeatedly asked him to leave, but he refused.
The singer's guards had to chase the stalker away, but Prenell Russo did not give up and even spent the night near the singer's house. As Eilish emphasized, the fan tried to break into the house seven times.

Russo was detained twice, but the police could not take the young man into custody, since, according to US law, an attempt to enter private territory is not considered a serious crime. In addition, in the spring of last year, authorities tried not to abuse detentions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As a result, Russo was put on a bus to New York, where he comes from. Due to fears that the fan would return, Eilish went to court. Later, he was forbidden to approach the 19-year-old artist and her relatives closer than 180 meters.
Last year, the five-time Grammy winner admitted that she was clinically depressed at the height of her fame. According to Eilish, in 2019 she lost all her friends, and there was no joy in her life. Because of this, she was forced to seek help from a psychotherapist.
