Sistine Stallone’s Terrifying Stalker Chase in NYC

Sylvester Stallone's Daughters on Miss Golden Globes

Sistine Stallone, daughter of iconic actor Sylvester Stallone, recently recounted a terrifying experience on her podcast, Unwaxed, which she hosts alongside her sister Sophia. The 26-year-old model and actress shared how an unsettling encounter with a stranger on the streets of New York City quickly turned into a nightmare, reminding women everywhere to stay vigilant.

The chilling event unfolded while Sistine was walking through the city, minding her own business. She noticed a man on a bicycle following her, and while she initially tried to ignore his inappropriate remarks, things escalated quickly.

“There was this guy on a bike that just started screaming really inappropriate profanities at me, but I just kept moving. I didn’t even acknowledge it,” Sistine shared on the podcast, recounting the disturbing details.

But the situation quickly worsened. As Sistine walked, the man suddenly approached her from behind and put his hands on her. She froze in fear as the man began screaming again, his tone more menacing than before.

“He comes up behind me on his bike and puts his hands on me, and that’s when I freaked out,” Sistine explained, her voice wavering with emotion as she recalled the harrowing experience. From that moment, she knew she had to get away.

Desperately, Sistine began running, searching for a safe place to hide. She managed to reach a Sephora store and took refuge behind one of the makeup counters. She initially thought she had managed to escape her pursuer, but as she soon found out, the nightmare was far from over. “I’m hiding behind a makeup counter, thinking I’m safe,” Sistine said. “But then I hear his voice. He’s inside the store, screaming at the top of his lungs.”

The stalker’s words sent chills down her spine. “You can’t hide from me, b----! I will find you. I will get you,” he shouted, sending the entire store into panic mode. Sephora employees quickly sprang into action, trying to box him out of the store while keeping Sistine hidden. 

In a fight-or-flight moment, Sistine curled up behind the counter, hoping that he wouldn’t find her. “I’m on the ground like in a bug formation, just waiting for him to leave,” she recalled.

After what felt like an eternity, four police officers arrived on the scene, managing to subdue the man and escort him out of the store. Sistine finally felt a wave of relief wash over her as she watched the officers take him away. The reality of the situation was finally sinking in, and she knew she had narrowly escaped what could have been a much worse outcome.

In sharing her story on Unwaxed, Sistine explained her motivation for speaking out. She hopes her experience will serve as a reminder to other women to stay aware of their surroundings, especially when walking alone. “Don’t have your headphones in, don’t be looking down,” she advised listeners. “I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t been paying attention.”

Fans and followers of the young star quickly took to social media to offer their support. “I’m horrified that this happened to you. I hope you’re OK,” one fan wrote. Another encouraged Sistine to carry self-defense tools, commenting, “Please get a taser or pepper spray! No one should have to go through that.” The outpouring of empathy and concern highlighted the support Sistine has from her followers and the public at large.

Sistine’s father, Sylvester Stallone, is known for his tough-guy roles in films like Rocky and Rambo. While the actor often portrays invincible heroes on screen, his real-life role as a protective father is something his daughters know well.

Sistine, along with her sisters Sophia, 28, and Scarlet, 22, share a close bond with their father, who has been a constant source of support for them. Sylvester and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, married in 1997 and have raised their daughters to be strong, independent women, despite their fame.

The Stallone sisters often speak about their father’s intimidating presence when it comes to their dating lives. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Sistine admitted that she feels the need to prepare any man she’s dating before introducing him to her father. “I’ve said, ‘He might not say hello, don’t take offense. That’s just how he works.

He might grip your hand too hard…’” she said, laughing. The sisters know that their father’s tough exterior can be intimidating, but they also know that he has their back no matter what.

Sistine’s terrifying encounter serves as a sobering reminder that even in the safety of a bustling city, danger can still lurk around the corner. Her decision to share her story underscores the importance of vigilance, resilience, and community support in the face of fear.

By speaking up, Sistine is using her platform to encourage other women to trust their instincts and take precautions when navigating public spaces.

As she reflects on the incident, Sistine remains grateful for the Sephora employees and the quick response from the police officers who ensured her safety.

Her story is a stark reminder that, although not every encounter can be prevented, being aware and prepared can make all the difference. Through her bravery and candor, Sistine Stallone has turned a terrifying experience into a powerful message of awareness and empowerment.
