Walton Faces An Unfriendly Shadow

Someone cue Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me,” because Luke has become the latest victim of the celebrity stalker.

In an exclusive interview with Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register,
Luke discussed the traumatizing event:

She thinks she loves him. She thinks they are meant to be together.

For the past year – an unbelievable, stress-filled year of her invading his life– Luke Walton didn’t know what to think.

According to Walton, she sat in her car outside his house too many times to count – sometimes staying there when he left the house during the day, sometimes staying there when he went to sleep at night. She marked up his car with a Sharpie one time when he was too busy to sign an autograph. She tried to make him jealous with a tall tale that Jordan Farmar thought she was pretty and wanted to date her.

She morphed into a race-car driver anytime Walton tried to elude her. She eyed him from the bleachers as he ran his basketball camp – sitting there for four consecutive days, seven hours per day. She even dared to approach his girlfriend.

Then a week and a half ago, she contorted her face in anger, stuck her arm out her car window, curled her hand to make it look like a gun and shot make-believe bullets at him.

He finally knew what to think: She was stalking him, and it had to stop.

Stacy Beshear, 34, of El Segundo was arrested – triggering a temporary restraining order to keep her away from Walton. There is a Nov. 6 court date, and if she is found guilty of stalking, at the very least that restraining order figures to become permanent.

Sorry Britney, it appears Luke has a new #1 fanatic. And by “fanatic,” I mean a “fan” who should be locked in an “attic.”

So don’t expect Luke to be adding Fatal Attraction or Misery to his Netflix queue anytime soon.
