What I find most impressive is her ability to recognize the most random celebrities Ives never even heard of

[@Stars1345]

Found her instagram. She still does this to this day!

How does it surprise you when she’s dedicated her life to it? Obviously she’s gonna know them lol

She would make a great FBI agent😂

Pauly’s stalker !!! 😂😂😂

[@Neliswa_]

Knew she looked familiar 😅

[@Jecht1221]

omfg you're right

[@user-nd3tg5zn1b]

Her mother was commenting child abuse by dragging her all over the city.

[@yuriharck3087]

That’s what I said right away!!! Holy crap!!!!

[@lidyacontreras4272]

I immediately recognized her lol I just rewatched Jersey shore not too long ago

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

She needs to work for TMZ or FBI Agent. She is young. There is so much she could do with her life. And also, these celebrities don't care about her. At all. And if she isn't careful, she can get in trouble.

[@brie1987]

Absolutely, shes got a gift and confidence. Hopefully this will land her a job!

[@jnoel6542]

Get in trouble for what?

[@FelixJordyn]

@@jnoel6542Stalking and harassment.

[@kingfame_]

She can’t be that young she must be almost 40. She was stalking Pauly D almost 15 years ago

[@Kay-xg5iz]

@@kingfame_ That is not a senior citizen stop age shaming. She has time.

[@Enkaybe]

I think she misses her mom and this gives her memories of her mom and she doesn’t want to let go! Like a coping mechanism

[@vipsectionn]

TMZ needs to give this girl a job she’d be great at it.

[@chipdouglas2430]

She has multiple restraining orders this is a stalker. No they shouldn't and that's why they haven't

[@txl43n]

She is clearly using the celeb stalking as a way to cope with her moms death since her mom did it first. This is not healthy ! Perhaps therapy and new hobbies will help

[@theconfidenthoe]

THIS is the comment 💯‼️❤

[@lisamartiene880]

Amen

[@mazeratifox7208]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@SamizzleFrizzly]

What are you talking about??? Yeah therapy is always good. But I don’t see how this is an unhealthy thing. She goes and waits and asks for autographs and pictures and is very polite every interaction. What’s so unhealthy about it? It’s not like she’s doing drugs to cope with her moms passing.

[@PrestonHazard]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@sugaray7435]

This girl was on Jersey Shore stalking Pauly D 😂😂 it was so funny! Crazy how this is her life!

I don't think she was a "Stalker" she just wanted a picture with him

[@marcoayala9177]

She was his super fan

[@reneegardner2286]

She's not harming anyone, I don't see the issue. She's paying her bills & taking care of herself too. And having fun.

[@Baracus-]

Its unhinged behaviour bruh

[@thevampqueenyt8782]

​@@Baracus- Atleast she isn't hurting anybody. The diapers thing though is kind of extreme.

[@Baracus-]

@@thevampqueenyt8782 so this is acceptable as long as its not hurting someone.. gotcha

[@thevampqueenyt8782]

*This episode originally aired in 2013* Yes, it’s Pauly D’s “stalker”…I think she may be on the spectrum and she still does celebrity spotting now!

[@samanthacrump1976]

Please stop with the Spectrum nonsense

[@damnjae2256]

No

[@AlternativeBIackBarbie]

Eww what a obsessed creep she needs a life

[@kole0429]

shes definitely wacked

[@janeprepper177]

This is a full blown obsession. 😮 She's reliving her time with her mom 'now'.

[@cheeriohos]

It seemed cute and harmless at first but as soon as its brought up she rarely sleeps than it got dark because i then realized its an actual crazy person who needs help. I feel bad for her only 3 min in

[@theoutlandishblueprint2419]

And it got even dark her with her showing us her diapers lmao 🤣

[@rachellenale]

Not the adult diapers🥴this is sad

[@lynda74]

Very strange addiction.

[@DieselWeasel420]

[@the.magic.catbus9459]

My ex boyfriend’s brother did this (maybe he still does) he is on the autism spectrum but is so good at it and is passionate about it. If she’s not hurting anyone then what’s the problem? I live in NYC, there are so many celebrities that are here at any given moment.

[@samanthacrump1976]

Stop with the autism nonsense.

[@mariskaajoy3899]

3:25 she literally wears adult diapers so she can shit herself while waiting for a celebrity, she runs around the city on 2 hours of sleep max, how is she not hurting herself again?💩💩

[@Amber93012]

I have a little brother with autism and he gets fixated on many things. Photography, fixing things around the house, making paper airplanes, doing his hair, photoshopping, all of these things are harmless. Idolizing a celebrity is fine, a lot of people do that. But this is harmful behavior because celebrities KNOW stalking complaints won’t be taken seriously. I’m sure she doesn’t have bad intentions, but it comes off as unhealthy. I would definitely try to avoid her, and honestly i think I’d have anxiety if i kept seeing her where i was lol

[@stephaniecrespo650]

Living your life to the fullest is not stalking celebrities

[@jazzyjaz9108]

Living to the fullest means living and doing what you love so it sure looks like she's living her life.

[@calizamasenge4643]

Now she's a celebrity herself😂🤣

You need to be a photographer first to make money off being a paparazzi. Sis is using a disposable camera 😂

You gotta admit this is talent i never met a celeb in my Life and im 32

[@kelsey2333]

Well she does live in a city that has alot of celebrities. This would be pretty impossible if you didnt live in a city like that. She should move and get mental health care.

[@user-we1ev8kd4h]

I've met 47 and I'm only 13

[@dollsNcats]

It’s SO much easier in NYC . I used to do this (not to this extreme) if you know what event they are , the hotel it’s pretty easy .

[@ifloatupwards]

So at first i was like this chick is kinda weird but then again I wouldn't have the courage to go up to them. At least she is being kind and respectful when asking and saying Thank You when they do.

[@rubyabarca3350]

So the fact that mtv made a whole storyline for Pauly D with this girl really bothers me when she was never obsessed with him she was obsessed with meeting celebs and fact #2 is that she had met waaaaaayyyy bigger celebs than Pauly d and the cast jersey shore was just a bunch of regular drunk bar hopping people that went famous and she was taking pics with big time celebs. I would’ve sued mtv they forsure used her for a storyline! I hope they paid her out for the way they made her look… she definitely has an obsession but it definitely wasn’t Pauly d

[@subwayunderground6105]

Okay but Vanessa do a video on what celebs were polite and rude!!!! Give us the tea!!!!!

[@mariaestevao1895]

She has a pure soul and I wish her nothing but the best. Sorry for your loss. You're braver than most. I have a deep fear of speaking to people, so I truly commend you. Stay safe out there. I pray you're successful and that you get into the Guinness Book of Records

Same ❤

[@larhondaburchett3271]

All jokes aside this is really sad. Bc i think she does it in a way to stay connected to her Mom. She needs to get some therapy. It’s nothing wrong with having a hobby. But I feel like this is an obsession for her. I hope she’s doing well today and has gotten some help. Peace and blessings!

Gotta love what Pauly said last time she saw him. "Is she a stalker or a super supporter"? Like how his mindset changed to accept her for her. It may not be healthy but she's harmless than the paparazzi getting horrible shots like up the skirt etc. She supporting their image no matter how you look at it.
