A woman has been arrested for allegedly stalking Joey Essex and threatening his ex. The situation escalated with over 100,000 messages sent to him.
Poynton: A woman was arrested for allegedly stalking Joey Essex. Reports say she sent him over 100,000 messages. That’s a lot, right? She even threatened to shoot his ex-girlfriend, Jessy Potts.
This all started back in August. The stalker reportedly left hundreds of notes on Joey’s social media posts. Some of those messages were pretty scary, with threats aimed at Jessy, whom Joey met on Love Island.
Local police got involved and seized some of her electronic devices, like a laptop and phone. She’s been released on bail but can’t contact Joey or go to Essex or London.
A spokesperson from Cheshire Constabulary confirmed the arrest. They said a 34-year-old woman from Poynton is under suspicion for stalking. She’ll be on conditional bail until February while they continue their investigation.
Joey usually enjoys connecting with his fans online. He’s used to some nasty comments, but this situation felt different. An insider mentioned that the messages became frightening, especially with physical threats.
Joey is relieved that the police are taking this seriously. He’s grateful for their help in handling this scary situation.
