Miranda Cosgrove Reflects On Stalker Who Killed Himself In Her Yard

Miranda Cosgrove shared a frightening experience in which a man stalked her, shot at a woman resembling her, and later fatally shot himself in the front yard of her home. “That’s another reason why I go back and forth to my parents’ house so much,” she told Bustle. “I just don’t feel super safe in that house. For two years after it happened, I wouldn’t really stay there. Then I got into a relationship and because that person was there with me, I was less scared. But I don’t really like being there on my own that much.” Cosgrove also discussed the challenges of depicting such experiences in acting, referencing Richard Gadd’s hit Netflix series about his stalker, Baby Reindeer. “I feel like if that were me, having to go back through your most terrible experiences and then try to act them [out], that’d be so hard,” she said.
