It's no secret that celebrities have devoted fans who would do almost anything to get close to their favorite stars. However, sometimes that passion can turn dangerous, resulting in injuries to the celebrities themselves.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has a huge following of fans who call themselves "Swifties." Unfortunately, some of them took their love for the pop star too far. In 2013, a man broke into her Rhode Island home while she was there, claiming to be her husband. He was arrested and charged with trespassing, but it was a scary experience for Swift and a reminder of the dangers of fame.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber has had his fair share of run-ins with overzealous fans, but one incident stands out. In 2010, a fan rushed the stage during one of his concerts in Dubai and tackled him to the ground. Bieber's security team quickly intervened, but the incident left the singer shaken and in need of medical attention.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has always been open with her fans and frequently interacts with them on social media. However, one fan took things too far in 2019 when they threw a phone at her during one of her concerts. The singer was hit in the face and had to cancel the rest of the show due to injury.
Rihanna
Rihanna has been the victim of several incidents involving fans, but one of the most shocking occurred in 2013. A man broke into her Los Angeles home and spent several hours inside, claiming to be her friend. He was eventually arrested, but the incident left the singer understandably shaken.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has had to deal with countless fans trying to get too close to her over the years, but one incident in 2016 stands out. While attending Paris Fashion Week, the reality star was attacked and robbed at gunpoint in her hotel room. The traumatic experience led Kardashian to take a step back from the public eye for a while.
While having fans is undoubtedly a blessing for celebrities, it can also be a curse when that fandom turns dangerous. These incidents serve as a reminder of the risks that come with fame, and the importance of security for those in the public eye. Celebrities may be larger than life, but they are still human beings who deserve to be respected and protected.
