Nigri posted a stern Tweet on March 21, where she begged invasive fans to stop visiting her home. \u201cI hate to have to say this,\u201d Nigri began. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have to say this\u2026 It is never okay to come to someone\u2019s house you follow online.\u201d I hate to have to say this\u2026I shouldn’t have to say this\u2026 It is never okay to come to someone’s house you follow online. Good intentions or not, please please please respect people’s privacy. Coming to their homes is NEVER OKAY. FOR ANY REASON. \u2014 JESSICA NIGRI (@OJessicaNigri) March 22, 2019 Nigri went on to ask that fans respect the privacy of internet personalities in light of their online fame, ending her post with a plea in all caps. \u201cGood intentions or not, please please please respect people\u2019s privacy,\u201d she continued. \u201cComing to their homes is NEVER OKAY. FOR ANY REASON.\u201d Someone showed up to my job once asking to see me by my cosplay handle. I work as an Emergency Support Meteorologist for the gov\u2019t, so I have a lot of face time w\/the public. I\u2019ve never been so freaked out. Had my better half take me back & forth to work for the next 2 months. \u2014 Leaping Lizard :green_heart::lizard: (@OLeapingLizard) March 22, 2019 Nigri\u2019s Tweet prompted an outpouring of support from across the cosplay community, with other personalities in the space recounting their own horror stories of unwelcome fan visitations. Even the Game Grumps\u2019 Suzy Berhow admitted that fans have shown up to her home, with husband Arin Hanson concurring in a concerning reply. THIS. Yes, people have shown up at our house. No- it does not make you look like a \u201ccool fun guy\u201d. You are a stalker with no understanding of boundaries. This also goes for sticking notes on people\u2019s windshields trying to figure out which cars are ours at our office. https:\/\/t.co\/H1OYEfkh78 \u2014 :black_heart:Mortemer:black_heart: (@Mort3mer) March 22, 2019 \u201cYes, people have shown up at our house,\u201d Suzy stated. \u201cNo- it does not make you look like a \u2018cool fun guy.\u2019 You are a stalker with no understanding of boundaries.\u201d Even massive YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg created a video about this subject in 2016, claiming that fans continually stalked his home \u2013 despite moving many times over the course of his YouTube career. \u201cI\u2019ve even had parents coming over with their kids,\u201d Kjellberg said of the issue. \u201c\u2026Just because you found my address doesn\u2019t mean you found an invitation for you to come over.\u201d While it is presumed that Nigri\u2019s post was made in response to such a visitation, she didn\u2019t delve further into the topic (although she appears to be safe and sound, despite the interaction).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
